Theaflavin (TF) is a distinctive derivative of benzotropolones first extracted from black tea, and has antioxidant effects for its functions of radical scavenging and metal chelation [1,2]. Besides,theaflavin is a suitable natural inhibitor against influenza A (H1N1) neuraminidase[3].

Theaflavin(20 and 50 µg/ml;2 h) inhibited calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM)-induced renal HK-2 tubular epithelial cell oxidative stress injury[4]. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) exposed to Theaflavin(0-200µM;24 h) can alleviate apoptosis and cell dysfunction induced by tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP)[5]. Theaflavin(0-160µM;72 h) inhibited proliferation of CNE2 cells, promoted apoptosis, and up-regulated the expression of caspase 3, caspase 9, and Bax, and decreased the level of Bcl-2[6].

Theaflavin(20、50、100 mg/kg;14days;i. g.) alleviated CaOx nephrocalcinosis-induced oxidative stress injury and crystal deposition in mice[4]. In a renal ischemia/reperfusion(I/R) injury mouse model, theaflavin pretreatment(20/50/80 mg/kg;3days;i. g.) significantly inhibited I/R-induced kidney injury and cell apoptosis. It improved mitochondrial dysfunction by reducing mitochondrial damage and promoting mitochondrial membrane potential[7].
