Abstract

Total polyphenol content and anti proliferative activity of five green tea extracts available on the Romanian pharmaceuticals market was analyzed. Results show dose-dependent anti proliferative activity of the selected samples against B164A5 mouse melanoma and A375 human melanoma cell lines. Sample 3, the richest sample in polyphenols showed the highest anti proliferative potential against the screened melanoma cell lines.
