Discovery and Characterization of a Distinctive Theaflavin-3-Gallate Isomer from <i>Camellia ptilophylla</i> with Potent Anticancer Properties Against Human Colorectal Carcinoma Cells

Theaflavins, as key bioactive compounds of black tea, are garnering increasing attention. However, research predominantly focuses on theaflavin monomers derived from the enzymatic oxidation of <i>cis</i>-type catechins. In this study, we identify a unique stereoisomer of theaflavin-3-gal...
