Product Description
Chinese gallotannin is a non-specific α-amylase inhibitor (antagonist) with a Ki of 0.82 μg/mL for human salivary α-amylase. Chinese gallotannin may be utilized in diabetes research.
Chinese gallotannin (CAS#: 5424-20-4) is a naturally occurring polyphenolic compound belonging to the class of gallotannins. It is a non-specific, promiscuous α-amylase inhibitor with a Ki of 0.82 µg/mL for human salivary α-amylase. The compound has a molecular formula of C76H52O46 and a molecular weight of 1701.2 g/mol. Chinese gallotannin can be used for the research of diabetes. It demonstrates potential biological activity in modulating starch digestion and may be useful in diabetes research. Its inhibition of α-amylase activity positions it as a candidate for studying carbohydrate metabolism and metabolic disorders. The compound is also known as in Chinese.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Ki: 0.82 μg/mL (Human Salivary α-Amylase)[1] IC50: 2.3 μg/mL (Porcine Pancreatic α-Amylase), 128.9 nM (Telomerase), 3.0 μM (Fatty acid synthase), 6.9 μM (α-Ketoglutarate-Dependent Dioxygenase AlkB), 7.8 μM (5α-Reductase), 24.2 μM (Poly(ADP-ribose) Glycohydrolase)[1]
The primary targets of Chinese gallotannin include human salivary α-amylase, porcine pancreatic α-amylase, telomerase, fatty acid synthase, α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase AlkB, 5α-reductase, and poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase. It is a non-specific inhibitor, meaning it can interact with multiple targets. The Ki value for human salivary α-amylase is 0.82 µg/mL. The IC50 values are 2.3 µg/mL for porcine pancreatic α-amylase, 128.9 nM for telomerase, 3.0 µM for fatty acid synthase, 6.9 µM for α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase AlkB, 7.8 µM for 5α-reductase, and 24.2 µM for poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Chinese gallotannin inhibits human salivary α-amylase with a Ki of 0.82 µg/mL. It also inhibits porcine pancreatic α-amylase with an IC50 of 2.3 µg/mL. The compound has been shown to inhibit telomerase (IC50 = 128.9 nM), fatty acid synthase (IC50 = 3.0 µM), α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase AlkB (IC50 = 6.9 µM), 5α-reductase (IC50 = 7.8 µM), and poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (IC50 = 24.2 µM). These data indicate that Chinese gallotannin is a broad-spectrum inhibitor with activity against multiple enzyme targets. The compound is soluble in DMSO at 100 mg/mL.
ln Vivo
In vivo, Chinese gallotannin may modulate starch digestion and glucose absorption by inhibiting α-amylase activity in the gastrointestinal tract. This could potentially reduce postprandial blood glucose levels, making it a candidate for diabetes research. However, detailed in vivo studies on its efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and safety are limited. Further research is needed to fully characterize its effects in animal models of diabetes and metabolic disorders.
Enzyme Assay
The in vitro enzyme assay for α-amylase inhibition typically involves incubating the enzyme with a chromogenic substrate, such as starch or a synthetic substrate, in the presence of the test compound. The reaction is monitored by measuring the production of reducing sugars or the hydrolysis of the substrate. For Chinese gallotannin, the Ki value for human salivary α-amylase was determined using such assays. The IC50 values for other targets, such as telomerase and fatty acid synthase, are determined using specific assay formats appropriate for each enzyme.
Cell Assay
Cellular assays for Chinese gallotannin may involve the use of cell lines to assess its effects on cell proliferation, enzyme activity, and metabolic pathways. For example, the compound's inhibition of telomerase could be studied in cancer cell lines, while its effects on fatty acid synthase could be assessed in adipocytes or hepatocytes. The compound's ability to modulate starch digestion could be studied in intestinal cell lines. However, specific cellular assay protocols for Chinese gallotannin are not detailed in the available literature.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for Chinese gallotannin would typically involve oral administration of the compound to rodent models of diabetes or metabolic syndrome. Following treatment, blood glucose levels, starch digestion, and metabolic parameters would be assessed. The compound's effects on body weight, food intake, and insulin sensitivity could also be evaluated. However, specific in vivo study protocols for Chinese gallotannin are not detailed in the available literature.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
As a polyphenolic compound with a high molecular weight (1701.2 g/mol), the pharmacokinetic properties of Chinese gallotannin would likely include poor oral bioavailability due to limited absorption from the gastrointestinal tract. The compound may be metabolized by gut microbiota or undergo hepatic metabolism. Detailed ADME parameters such as half-life, bioavailability, and tissue distribution are not available in the public domain. For research purposes, the compound is typically stored as a powder at -20°C.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
There is no specific toxicity data reported for Chinese gallotannin in the available literature. As a natural product and research chemical, it is generally considered safe at research doses. However, standard safety precautions should be followed when handling the compound. Toxicity studies, including acute and sub-chronic dosing in animal models, would be required if the compound were to be developed further for therapeutic applications.
