Application

  • Phloroglucinol in α-glycosidase inhibition: Phloroglucinol derivatives demonstrate effective α-glycosidase inhibitory activity, indicating potential for application in managing diabetes through enzyme inhibition strategies (Sevimli et al., 2024).
  • Phenolic compound bioaccessibility studies: Investigating the intestinal absorption and bioaccessibility of phloroglucinol, among other phenolics, using in vitro simulated gastrointestinal digestion helps understand its pharmacokinetic properties in dietary and pharmaceutical contexts (Pais et al., 2024).
  • Applications in plant biotechnology: Phloroglucinol is utilized in Agrobacterium-mediated transformations, enhancing genetic modification techniques in plant sciences, specifically demonstrated in dwarf soybean transformations (Shao et al., 2024).
  • Methane inhibition studies in dairy cows: Phloroglucinol′s role as a hydrogen acceptor in rumen pulse-dosing experiments demonstrates its potential in reducing methane emissions from dairy cows, contributing to environmental sustainability in agricultural practices (Maigaard et al., 2024).
