Product Description
2,4,6-Trihydroxybenzoic acid, a flavonoid metabolite, is a CDK inhibitor. 2,4,6-Trihydroxybenzoic acid may be utilized in cancer-related research.
2,4,6-Trihydroxybenzoic acid (CAS 83-30-7), also known as phloroglucinic acid or phloroglucinolcarboxylic acid, is a trihydroxybenzoic acid that is benzoic acid substituted by hydroxy groups at positions 2, 4, and 6. It has a molecular weight of 170.12 g/mol and formula C7H6O5. This compound is a metabolite of naringin, a major flavonoid found in grapefruit juice, and functions as a fungal metabolite. It is a polyhydroxybenzoic acid with strong chelating power and is used in antioxidants, tanning agents, and polymer modifiers. The compound appears as a light beige crystalline powder with a melting point of 210°C and pKa of 1.62.

Targets
2,4,6-Trihydroxybenzoic acid does not have a well-defined specific therapeutic target but functions as a metabolite and antioxidant compound. It is a polyhydroxybenzoic acid that exhibits strong metal-chelating properties, which contribute to its antioxidant activity. As a fungal metabolite, it plays a role in biological systems as a secondary metabolite. The compound is also a metabolite of naringin, indicating its involvement in flavonoid metabolism pathways. Its multiple hydroxyl groups enable it to scavenge free radicals and chelate metal ions, contributing to its biological activities.
ln Vitro
2,4,6-Trihydroxybenzoic acid exhibits antioxidant properties through its ability to scavenge free radicals and chelate metal ions, thereby preventing oxidative damage to biomolecules. As a polyhydroxybenzoic acid, it demonstrates strong chelating power that contributes to its antioxidant activity. The compound has been reported to exhibit lipid-lowering and anticancer activities. It is a metabolite of naringin, a flavonoid found in grapefruit juice with established health benefits. In addition, as a fungal metabolite, it may play roles in microbial ecology and plant-microbe interactions.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity data for 2,4,6-Trihydroxybenzoic acid are limited in the available literature. As a metabolite of naringin, it may contribute to the in vivo effects of its parent compound, which include antioxidant, lipid-lowering, and anticancer activities. The compound is absorbed and metabolized as part of the flavonoid metabolic pathway. Its strong chelating properties suggest it may influence metal ion homeostasis in vivo. However, specific in vivo efficacy studies for this compound alone are not well-documented in the public domain. The compound is generally used as a research chemical for antioxidant and chelation studies.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for 2,4,6-Trihydroxybenzoic acid typically involve antioxidant activity measurements using DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) or ABTS (2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)) radical scavenging assays. The compound is dissolved in appropriate solvents (ethanol or DMSO) at varying concentrations and incubated with the radical solution. The decrease in absorbance is measured spectrophotometrically to determine the IC50 value for radical scavenging. Metal chelation assays can be performed using ferrozine or similar chromogenic reagents to assess the compound's ability to chelate Fe2+ or other metal ions.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays for 2,4,6-Trihydroxybenzoic acid typically involve treating cultured cell lines (such as cancer cells or normal cells) with the compound at concentrations ranging from 1 to 200 μM for 24-72 hours. Cellular viability is assessed using MTT, CCK-8, or resazurin reduction assays. Antioxidant activity in cells can be evaluated by measuring intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels using fluorescent probes such as DCFH-DA. The compound is dissolved in DMSO as a stock solution and diluted in cell culture medium, with appropriate vehicle controls. Cells are also assessed for apoptosis, cell cycle distribution, and other relevant biomarkers.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for 2,4,6-Trihydroxybenzoic acid are not extensively documented. For general antioxidant and metabolic studies, the compound could be administered to mice or rats via oral gavage or intraperitoneal injection at doses typically ranging from 10 to 200 mg/kg. Blood and tissue samples are collected at various time points to assess pharmacokinetic parameters and metabolic fate. Efficacy studies might involve disease models such as chemically induced oxidative stress, inflammation, or cancer, with compound administration over days to weeks. Standard protocols include monitoring body weight, organ weights, and histopathological examination.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of 2,4,6-Trihydroxybenzoic acid are not extensively documented. The compound has a molecular weight of 170.12 g/mol and is highly soluble in water. It has a melting point of 210°C, boiling point of 373°C, and pKa of 1.62, indicating acidic properties. As a small polar molecule with multiple hydroxyl groups, it is expected to be readily absorbed and rapidly metabolized. The compound is generally stable under standard laboratory conditions. Detailed PK parameters such as half-life, bioavailability, and tissue distribution would require experimental determination and are not specified in the available literature.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicity data for 2,4,6-Trihydroxybenzoic acid are not extensively reported in the public domain. As a naturally occurring fungal metabolite and a metabolite of the dietary flavonoid naringin, it is generally considered to have low toxicity. However, as with all chemical compounds, appropriate safety precautions should be taken when handling. The compound is intended for research use only and is not approved for human therapeutic applications. Standard toxicity assessments would include acute toxicity, genotoxicity, and repeated-dose toxicity studies. The compound's phenolic structure suggests potential for mild irritant effects at high concentrations.

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
