Common Namedigallate
Descriptiondigallate is a flavonoid compound belonging to the class of polyphenols, specifically characterized as Theaflavin 3,3'-digallate (TF3). Its chemical structure features two galloyl groups esterified to a flavan-3-ol backbone, contributing to its unique biochemical properties. In various biological pathways, TF3 has been shown to act as a selective inhibitor of FBXO5, influencing cell cycle regulation (PMID:41045986 ). It suppresses metastasis and reduces insulin-like growth factor-1-induced cancer stemness and invasiveness in human melanoma cells, highlighting its potential in cancer therapy (PMID:40962244 ). Additionally, TF3 exhibits antidiabetic effects, induces apoptosis, and suppresses cancer growth, indicating its multifaceted role in cellular processes (PMID:40962244 ). The compound also interacts with cytochrome P450 enzymes and UDP-glucuronosyltransferases, affecting drug metabolism (PMID:40870734 ). Moreover, TF3 has been implicated in neuroprotection, preventing radiofrequency radiation-induced cognitive impairment by modulating GSK-3α/GRα/RORα/BMAL1 expression (PMID:40827634 ). Overall, digallate's diverse chemical interactions and biological effects underscore its significance in both pharmacology and toxicology.
