title: Synthesis of oolongtheanins and their inhibitory activity on micellar cholesterol solubility in vitro.
abstract: The synthesis of oolongtheanins (1a-d) was accomplished from EGC and/or EGCg in three steps. Oolongtheanin-3'-O-gallate (1b) showed more potent inhibitory activity on micellar cholesterol solubility than did EGCg.
