General description
Methyl 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoate, also known as methyl gallate, is a derivative of gallic acid with three hydroxyl groups and an ester linkage, which contributes to its reactivity and solubility in organic solvents. It exhibits strong free radical scavenging activity, which is crucial in preventing oxidative stress in biological systems and enhancing the lifespan of materials. Its natural origin and low toxicity make it suitable for biomedical applications, particularly in drug delivery and tissue engineering.
Application
Methyl 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoate can be used:
- As a precursor to synthesize nanocomposite drug delivery systems for lung cancer treatment. It has low toxicity and can induce apoptosis by generating free radicals.
- As a starting material to prepare norbornene-based main-chain polymers via ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP), for biomedical uses to coatings and electronics.
- As an additive in the pretreatment of Sugarcane Bagasse for the removal of lignin from biomass and consequently the cellulose hydrolysis. This process helps the use of biomass as energy currency for various biotechnological processes
