Bioactivity | Dodecyl gallate (Lauryl gallate) has been widely used as an antioxidant in food manufacturing, as well as in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Dodecyl gallate also is active against a highly relevant animal virus such as African swine fever virus (ASFV)[1]. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | Dodecyl gallate (Lauryl gallate) is an ester derivative of gallic acid, a natural plant phenolic compound. Dodecyl gallate (Lauryl gallate) protects cells from oxidative stress, in a process associated with radical scavenging, inhibition of enzymes involved in lipid peroxidation, and increasing expression of antioxidant genes. Due to its hydrophobic properties, Dodecyl gallate can disrupt biomembranes and cause protein inactivation[1]. | ||||||||||||
