The EGCG comprises four rings designated as A, B, C, and D. The A and C rings form a benzopyran ring system, which relates to the pyrogallol (the B ring) and gallate (the D ring) moiety at the C-2 and C-3 positions, respectively. The role of the functional groups in the antioxidant properties of EGCG was described based on other studies.
