Epicatechin oligomers longer than trimers have anti-cancer activities, but not the catechin counterparts

Abstract Since procyanidins (oligomeric catechin or epicatechin) were reported to exhibit health benefits, much attention has been paid to the synthesis of these compounds, especially those that are longer than trimers.
