Description Gallic acid (Benzoic acid) is found in almost all plants. Plants known for their high gallic acid content include gallnuts,grapes,tea,hops and oak bark.
In vitro Gallic acid does not protect against H(2)O(2)-induced PC12 cell death. It reduced the viability of PC12 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Gallic acid also induces cleavage of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase, which is strongly related to apoptosis in neurons. Gallic acid induces the phosphorylation of c-Jun N-terminal protein kinase (JNK) and the downregulation of Bcl-2 in PC12 cells. Gallic acid leads to a progressive reduction in the viability of vector-transfected PC12 cells, which is delayed in PC12 cells that overexpressed Bcl-2[2].
In vivo Gallic acid effectively protects rat erythrocytes. The antioxidant effect of the compound at the tested dosage in vivo was more prevalent than its prooxidative effects. Gallic acid has ameliorative effect on lipid peroxidation in vivo[1].
Cell Research Cell viability is measured using the MTT assay. PC12 cells are incubated at 37?C with Water2 or gallic acid at different concentrations for 24 h with or without pretreatment with resveratrol. They are then treated with the MTT solution (final concentration, 1 mg/mL) for 2 h. The dark-blue formazan crystals that formed in intact cells are dissolved in DMSO, and the absorbance at 570 nm is measured using a micro-ELISA reader.(Only for Reference)

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the

  • Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
See Example

An example of a molarity calculation using the molarity calculator
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 10 ml of water given that the molecular weight of the compound is 197.13 g/mol?
Enter 197.13 into the Molecular Weight (MW) box
Enter 10 into the Concentration box and select the correct unit (millimolar)
Enter 10 into the Volume box and select the correct unit (milliliter)
Press calculate
The answer of 19.713 mg appears in the Mass box
