Cholesterol micellization inhibitory activity of bark extracts and EGCG.

Extract/Std	% inhibition of cholesterol solubility in micelles			µg/mL; IC50
	Concentration (µg/mL)
	250	500	1000
EGCG	55.16 ± 0.91	69.78 ± 1.82	96.75 ± 1.70
Ethanol bark	49.48 ± 0.78	69.48 ± 0.81	98.09 ± 0.51
DCM : M bark	19.36 ± 2.04	62.15 ± 1.06	73.94 ± 0.87

Data represented as mean ± SEM (EGCG ; ethanol bark and DCM : M bark each). IC₅₀ values in a column superscripted by different letters are significantly different at . EGCG, ethanol bark, and DCM : M bark are , 0.99, and 0.90, respectively. DCM : M: dichloromethane : methanol; EGCG: epigallocatechin gallate.
