Product Description
Ethyl gallate is a non-flavonoid phenolic compound that is also a scavenger of hydrogen peroxide.
Ethyl gallate (CAS 831-61-8), also known as gallic acid ethyl ester, is a nonflavonoid phenolic compound belonging to the alkyl gallate family. It is a short-chain alkyl ester of gallic acid. Ethyl gallate is a hydrogen peroxide scavenger and exhibits potent antioxidant activity. It has antibacterial activity and is designed to modulate apoptotic pathways and cellular redox balance. Ethyl gallate exerts its biological activity by activating the death receptor-dependent apoptotic pathway and increasing the expression of caspases-8, -9, and -3. It suppresses proliferation and invasion in human breast cancer cells by modulating the PI3K/Akt pathway. It also exhibits estrogenic activity and has potential use in hormone replacement therapy.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Ethyl gallate targets multiple pathways involved in cancer progression, inflammation, and oxidative stress. It inhibits the mRNA levels of MMP-9 and MMP-2, phosphorylation of Akt, and protein expression of NF-κB. It suppresses proliferation and invasion in human breast cancer cells by modulating the PI3K/Akt pathway, inhibiting downstream targets such as NF-κB p-65, Bcl-2/Bax, and MMP-2/MMP-9. It activates the death receptor-dependent apoptotic pathway, increasing expression of caspases-8, -9, and -3. It also inhibits hydrogen peroxide signaling. Estrogenic activity has been reported.
ln Vitro
Hydrogen peroxide is scavenged by the non-flavonoid phenolic compound ethyl gallate. Following a 24- or 48-hour ethyl gallate treatment, HL-60 cells displayed morphological alterations that included the production of apoptotic bodies and a shrinking of the cell membrane. In line with these outcomes, ethyl gallate treatment caused time- and dose-dependent reductions in cell viability, suggesting that ethyl gallate is cytotoxic to HL-60 cells. The percentage of sub-G1 phase cells rose in response to ethyl gallate treatment in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. The percentage of cells in sub-G1 phase rose from 2.9% at baseline to 26.5% or 52.6% after treatment with 50 μM or 75 μM ethyl gallate for 24 or 48 hours, respectively. Research has revealed that ethyl gallate was used to treat HL-60 cells. Following a 24-hour treatment with 75 μM ethyl gallate, Bcl-2 expression decreased while Bax and truncated Bid (tBid) expression rose [1].
In vitro, Ethyl gallate obviously decreases cell proliferation in MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. It exhibits cytotoxicity in a dose-dependent manner. Ethyl gallate can inhibit the abilities of invasion of breast cancer in vitro by inhibiting the mRNA levels of MMP-9/MMP-2, phosphorylation of Akt, and protein expression of NF-κB. After treatment for 24 h or 48 h with Ethyl gallate, HL-60 cells show changes in morphology, including shrinkage of the cell. It induces apoptosis in HL-60 cells by promoting the expression of caspases-8, -9, -3, apoptosis-inducing factor, and endonuclease G. It inhibits hydrogen peroxide signaling.
ln Vivo
Rats given ethyl gallate equivalents of Nile tilapia leaf extract and rats fed ethyl gallate alone did not differ significantly in serum total protein, albumin, globulin, and glucose. Nonetheless, there were notable variations in total bilirubin levels between rats given 500 mg/kg body weight (ethyl gallate equivalent to 10 mg/kg, 0.34±0.01 mg/dL) and Nile tilapia (L.) leaf extract given 500 mg/kg body weight. received 10 mg/kg body weight (0.26 ± 0.01 mg/dL) of ethyl gallate. Between the groups given 10 and 20 mg/kg of ethyl gallate and 500 and 1000 mg/kg body weight of Nile tilapia leaf extract (26.52±1.23 and 30.05±1.38 U/L), there was a significant presence of ALT. The distinction. Twenty.50±0.94 and twenty-four.67±1.13 U/L)[2].
In vivo, Ethyl gallate may represent an alternative class of vasopressors for use in septic shock. It has been studied for its potential use in hormone replacement therapy due to its estrogenic activity. As a hydrogen peroxide scavenger and antioxidant, it may have protective effects against oxidative stress-related conditions. However, detailed in vivo efficacy studies, including pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters, are limited in the available literature. Further research is needed to fully characterize its in vivo activity and therapeutic potential.
Enzyme Assay
For in vitro cell-free assays, the antioxidant activity of Ethyl gallate can be measured using hydrogen peroxide scavenging assays. Its inhibitory effects on MMP-2/MMP-9 can be assessed using gelatin zymography or fluorogenic substrate assays. NF-κB activity can be measured using DNA-binding ELISA or reporter gene assays. Caspase activity can be quantified using fluorogenic substrates (e.g., DEVD-AFC for caspase-3, IETD-AFC for caspase-8, LEHD-AFC for caspase-9). The PI3K/Akt pathway can be studied using kinase activity assays or by measuring phosphorylation levels.
Cell Assay
For in vitro cellular assays, the anticancer activity of Ethyl gallate is assessed in breast cancer cell lines such as MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7. Cells are treated with various concentrations of Ethyl gallate for 24-48 hours. Cell viability is measured using MTT or SRB assays. Apoptosis is assessed by morphological changes, flow cytometry (Annexin V/PI staining), and caspase activity assays. MMP-2/MMP-9 mRNA levels are measured by qPCR, and protein expression of NF-κB, Akt phosphorylation, and Bcl-2/Bax are assessed by Western blot.
Animal Protocol
For in vivo studies, Ethyl gallate could be administered orally or intravenously in animal models of cancer, septic shock, or hormone-related conditions. In cancer models, endpoints include tumor volume measurement, metastasis assessment, and survival analysis. In septic shock models, its vasopressor effects could be evaluated by measuring blood pressure and inflammatory markers. Its estrogenic activity could be studied in ovariectomized animal models.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Ethyl gallate (CAS 831-61-8) has a molecular formula of C9H10O5 and a molecular weight of 198.17 g/mol. It is also known as Phyllemblin and Nipagallin A. Appearance: typically a powder. Solubility: DMSO 36 mg/mL (181.66 mM). For in vivo formulation: 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween-80 + 45% saline, solubility 2 mg/mL (10.09 mM). Density: 1.424 g/cm3. Storage: powder at -20°C for 3 years; in solvent at -80°C for 1 year. Purity: 99.96%.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No detailed toxicity data is publicly available. As a natural phenolic compound, it is generally considered to have low toxicity, but standard toxicological studies would be required for drug development. It could be used as a potential antioxidant with safe therapeutic application in cancer chemotherapy. In vitro cytotoxicity assays in various cell lines are typically performed alongside efficacy studies to confirm that observed effects are not due to a general reduction in cell viability.
