Research Papers that Mention the Interaction
“Based on our evidence that (−)-epicatechin (EC), an inert catechin, enhances the cancer-preventive activity of green tea catechins, we studied the enhancing effects of EC on inductions of growth inhibition and apoptosis in human lung cancer cell lines PC-9 and A549 with curcumin.”
“The combination of curcumin with EC significantly increased the inhibition of cell growth compared with curcumin or EC alone.”
“This report is the first report on the enhancing effects of EC on curcumin, and the data suggest that EC plays a significant role in the enhancement of the cancer-preventive activity of curcumin in the diet.”
