Gallic Acid: Derivatives and Biosynthesis, Pharmacological and Therapeutic Effect, Biological Activity
Abstract
Phenolic compounds are important compounds responsible for many therapeutic, pharmacological, and biological activities. They are compounds that do not have nutritional properties but are very important from a medical point of view. In this review, general properties, derivatives and biosynthesis, pharmacological and therapeutic effects, biological activities, and toxic and side effects of gallic acid were reviewed. As a result of the literature research, it has been seen that it has pharmacological and therapeutic effects such as gastrointestinal diseases, cardiovascular disease, neuropsychological and neuroprotective conditions, metabolic diseases, allergic skin, antianxiety, wound healing activity, rheumatoid arthritis, colitis, obesity. It has also been reported to have biological activities such as antioxidant, anti-melanogenic, antimicrobial, anti-ageing, antidiabetic, antiapoptotic, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, antiviral, cytotoxic, antidepressant.
