Abstract
Tea is one of the most broadly distributed beverages in the world, which is prepared from the dried leaves of Camellia sinensis. Polyphenols in the form of catechins, the abundant metabolites of tea are considered to be responsible for a number of biological activities including cancer therapy and anti-inflammatory effect [1–4]. Fifteen glycolipids including two glycerosulfoquinovolipids, nine glycerogalactoolipids and four sphingoglucolipids were isolated and identified for the first time from green tea. The reported anti-inflammatory, anticancer and anti-HIV activities of these types of agents open a debate on their role in the activities associated with green tea.
