Description

General description

Pyrogallol is a polyphenol and allelochemical, found on Microcystis aeruginosa and Emblica officinalis.

Application

Pyrogallol has been used:

• in the superoxide dismutase (SOD) assay
• to induce modification in mitochondrial DNA and to characterize the same
• as a standard to confirm the presence of pyrogallol in butanol fraction of white rose petal extract

Biochem/physiol Actions

Pyrogallol induces superoxide anion (O₂^-) generation and in the presence of metal ions, it stimulates oxidative damage to DNA and lipids.

Quality

May contain black specks.
