- Synthesis and cytotoxic activities of hexyl-esters derivatives of gallic acid against MCF-7 cell line
-
Gallic acid is found in many plants, fruits, and foods where the anti-cancer activity is found. However, gallic acid has a problem on the high polarity and low bio availability. So, it takes molecular modifications in order to increase its lipophilicity, which is expected to increase bio availability and cytotoxic activity of gallic acid. Hexyl esters derivatives of gallic acid were synthesized and characterized by spectrometer 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, mass spectrometry and infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR). All compounds were then evaluated for cytotoxic activity on MCF-7 cell line using MTT method. Compound cis-2′-hexenyl-3,4,5-trimethoxygallate (19) had the lowest IC50 value compared with gallic acid and other derivatives hexyl esters. IC50 value of cis-2′-hexenyl-3,4,5-trimethoxygallate (19) is 14.48 μg/ml. Compound (19) also has approached with IC50 values of gossypol as a positive control. Compound (19) is a potential compound to inhibit growth of MCF-7 cell line.

- Synthesis and in vitro antimalarial activity of alkyl esters of gallate as a growth inhibitor of plasmodium falciparum
-
This study is aimed to synthesize alkyl esters gallate and determine its in vitro antimalarial activity against parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Fourteen compounds of alkyl esters gallate were synthesized by esterification of the carboxyl group of gallic acid with a series of alkyl alcohols, as well as methoxylation of the hydroxy groups on the aromatic ring of gallic acid. Antimalarial activity of the synthesized alkyl esters gallate were expressed by IC50 value, with gallic acid as an original compound and artemisin as a positive control. Compared to gallic acid, eleven synthesized compounds of alkyl esters gallate, have a greater antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum. On the other hand, three compounds, that are propyl gallate, butyl gallate and trimethoxy methyl gallate, showed a lower antimalarial activity. Moreover, compared to gallic acid (IC50: 194.86 mM) and artemisin (IC50: 0.5 mM), two synthesized compounds of alkyl gallates, namely methyl gallate and hexyl gallate exhibited the stronger antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum, with IC50 value of 0.03 mM and 0.11 mM, respectively. Our result clearly demonstrated that methyl gallate and hexyl gallate as a promising candidate for the new antimalarial agents.

- A concise synthesis of (±)-7-O-galloyltricetiflavan
-
(±)-7-O-galloyltricetiflavan (1a) was synthesized successfully in five steps from the commercially available trihydroxyacetophenone (2) and trimethoxybenzoyl chloride (3). The flavone 4a was prepared in a one-pot reaction and it gave hex-O-methylflavan 6 followed by acylation and reduction. However, the demethylation of flavan 6, 5-O-acetylflavan 10 and 5-O-phenylacetylflavan 11 by BBr3 gave all the hydrolyzed fragments 7 and 8 as the major products. By contrast, in the same condition, hept-O-methylflavan 9 could provide the desired product (±)-7-O-galloyltricetiflavan (1a) in 91% yield. The additional 5-O-B-Br2 complex may stabilize the ester bond during the demethylation process.

- Gallic acid metabolites are markers of black tea intake in humans
-
Gallic acid is one of the main phenolic components of black tea. The objective of this study was to identify urinary gallic acid metabolites with potential for use as markers of black tea intake. In an initial study, nine compounds, assessed by using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, were found to increase in concentration in urine after 3 cups of black tea over 3 h. A subsequent study employed a controlled crossover design in which 10 subjects consumed 5 cups per day of black tea or water for 4 weeks in random order. Twenty-four hour urine samples were collected at the end of each period. Of the 9 candidate compounds identified in the initial study, only 3 were present at higher concentrations in urine of all 10 subjects during tea- drinking in comparison to water-drinking periods. These compounds were identified as 4-O-methylgallic acid, 3-O-methylgallic acid, and 3,4-O- dimethylgallic acid, all methyl ether derivatives of gallic acid. It is suggested that these compounds have the potential to be used as markers of black tea intake.

- Process for preparing pyrogallol
-
Pyrogallol is prepared by (A) reacting a halo compound of formula STR1 where X represents Br or I, R1 represents hydrogen, secondary or tertiary alkyl of up to 10 carbon atoms, carboxy or alkoxycarbonyl of 2-5 carbon atoms and R2 represents hydrogen or alkyl of 1-4 carbon atoms, with an alkali metal alkoxide of formula ROM where M represents an alkali metal and R represents alkyl of 1-4 carbon atoms, to replace each X by OR, and then (B) dealkylating each OR and each OR2 where R2 represents alkyl of 1-4 carbon atoms and removing the R1 group where this is not hydrogen.
