Sažetak
Catechins are the most abundant polyphenols in green tea. Their biological activities beneficial to human health [1] depend on their metabolism and free plasma concentration. In plasma, polyphenols bind to serum albumin, responsible for their transport and storage [2]. In our work, molecular docking has been performed in order to determine the binding specificity and affinity of catechins EGCG, EGC and EC, as well as their metabolites, for binding to site 1 of HSA. Higher affinity has been determined for larger ligands, with more polar or negatively charged groups, such as EGCG and sulfated or glucuronidated metabolites of catechins. The study shows comparable docking results to those of some drugs known to be good ligands of HSA, also indicating their potential competition. [1] Chow, H. H. S. ; Hakim, I. A. Pharmacol.
