Abstract Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), the predominant catechin in green tea, has attracted significant attention for its wide-ranging pharmacological properties, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, neuroprotective, and antimicrobial effects. Its unique polyphenolic structure offers multiple interaction sites, enabling the modulation of diverse biological pathways and molecular targets. This review explores EGCG as a promising natural scaffold for modern drug design, highlighting structural features that lend themselves to chemical modification and optimization for enhanced bioavailability, stability, and target specificity. We examine current advances in in silico modeling, structural-activity relationship (SAR) studies, and nanodelivery systems aimed at overcoming EGCG’s physicochemical limitations.[1] Special emphasis is placed on translational insights that bridge natural product pharmacology with synthetic medicinal chemistry, paving the way for innovative therapeutic agents derived from EGCG. The synthesis of existing literature underscores EGCG’s potential as a versatile molecular template for developing next-generation therapeutics across oncology, neurodegenration, infectious disease, and metabolic disorders.Current literature suggests EGCG is not only a leading candidate for developing next-generation therapeutics across oncology, neurodegeneration, cardiovascular, immune, and infectious diseases, but also a model molecule for innovative drug delivery and multi-drug systems. Future research should aim to address existing challenges in pharmacokinetics and clinical validation, paving the way for EGCG-based therapies to transition from promising natural product to clinical reality.[2]
