Product Description: 3-O-Methylgallic acid (3,4-Dihydroxy-5-methoxybenzoic acid) is an anthocyanin metabolite and has potent antioxidant capacity. 3-O-methylgallic acid inhibits Caco-2 cell proliferation with an IC50 value of 24.1 μM. 3-O-methylgallic acid also induces cell apoptosis and has anti-cancer effects[1][2][3].
Applications: Cancer-programmed cell death
Formula: C8H8O5
