Objective: Synthesize novel epigallocatechin-gallate (EGCG) methacrylate monomers with the ability to copolymerize with dental methacrylate resins.
Methods: EGCG was reacted with 1/3 (E33), 2/3 (E67) and 1 (E100) molar equivalents of methacyloyl chloride introducing three degrees of polymerizablility. EGCG-methacrylates were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR).
