(+)-Catechin monohydrate is an antioxidant flavonoid that is a free radical scavenger. Research shows that it is relatively nontoxic to cells at high doses. (+)-Catechin can stop ultraviolet B induced human keratinocyte death through the inhibition of JNK phosphorylation. Literature indicates that it may have Ca2+ antagonistic activity.

Animals treated with (+)-Catechin at the lowest tested dose, i.e., 50 mg/kg, p.o. have spent comparatively more time in exploring the novel object in the choice trial, however, the difference is not statistically significant. (+)-Catechin prevents the time-induced episodic memory deficits in a dose-dependent manner, the most effective being 200 mg/kg, p.o.. Treatment with (+)-Catechin prevents the rise in MPO level compare to DOX alone treatment group (21.98±9.44 and 36.76±4.39% in the hippocampus and the frontal cortex respectively).
