How Can Epigallocatechin Gallate from Green Tea Prevent HIV-1 Infection?

Possible inhibitors preventing human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) entry into the cells are recognized as hopeful next-generation anti-HIV-1 drugs. It is highly desirable to develop a potent inhibitor blocking binding of glycoprotein CD4 of the cell with glycoprotein gp120 of HIV-1, because the gp120-CD4 binding is the initial step of HIV-1 entry into the cells. It has been recently reported that (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) from green tea is an inhibitor blocking gp120-CD4 binding.

.... demonstrated clear evidence of high affinity binding of EGCG to the CD4 molecule. EGCG at concentrations equivalent to those obtainable by the consumption of green tea significantly reduces the attachment of gp120 to CD4. The competitive binding properties of EGCG for the CD4 binding sites by gp120 may translate to an HIV-1 preventative strategy. EGCG may have a potential use as adjunctive therapy in HIV infection.
