Metabolite Identification
Common NamePyrogallol
DescriptionPyrogallol is a phenolic compound classified within the chemical class of polyphenols. It is a metabolite that has garnered attention in various biomedical applications due to its redox properties and ability to participate in oxidative stress pathways. Notably, pyrogallol has been utilized in the development of a novel multianalyte molecular probe for the ultrasensitive detection of ions such as silver, fluoride, and cyanide in aqueous environments (PMID:41014424 ). Its role in biological systems is further highlighted by studies demonstrating that pyrogallol-induced oxidative stress can influence hydrogen sulfide production and reactive oxygen species formation in mouse brain models (PMID:41011131 ). Additionally, pyrogallol interacts with carbon quantum dots, which are relevant in food preservation (PMID:41003091 ). Furthermore, pyrogallol-rich poly(tannic acid)-stabilized gold nanoparticles have been employed as colorimetric probes for DNA detection (PMID:41002341 ), showcasing its versatility in analytical chemistry. The compound's interactions also extend to electrostatic mechanisms in antibacterial applications (PMID:41001849 ), emphasizing its multifaceted role in both chemical and biological contexts.
