[5,7-dihydroxy-2-(2,3,4,5-tetrahydroxy-6-oxobenzo[7]annulen-8-yl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-chromen-3-yl] 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoate

Epitheaflagallin 3-O-gallate is a minor polyphenol in black tea. Epitheaflagallin 3-O-gallate exhibits versatile physiological functions in vivo and in vitro, including antioxidative activity, pancreatic lipase inhibition, Streptococcus sorbinusglycosyltransferase inhibition, and an inhibiting effect on the activity of matrix metalloprotease-1 and -3 and their synthesis by human gingival fibroblasts[1].
