説明

Propyl gallate is an antioxidant with antimicrobial activity. It is hepatoprotective in vitro and in vivo, preventing CCl4 induced lipoperoxidation and reduction in polysomes in rat liver. Propyl gallate (100 mg/kg, i.p.) increases expression of HIF-1α, EPO, and VEGF mRNA levels and the number of normal neurons in rat brains after 8 minutes of forebrain ischemia. Propyl gallate in combination with potassium sorbate is bactericidal and bacteriostatic against S. aureus strains known to produce enterotoxins in food. Propyl gallate is commonly added to foods to prevent autoxidation and microbial growth.

使用

Propyl Gallate is a known inhibitor of Tyrosinase, a polyphenol oxidase, which is an important enzyme in pigment biosynthesis in various organisms. It has also recently been seen to boost biodiesel li pid biosynthesis in cultures.

一般的な説明

Fine white to creamy-white crystalline powder. Odorless or with a faint odor. Melting point 150°C. Insoluble in water. Slightly bitter taste.

相互作用The antioxidant propyl gallate (PG) induced lipid peroxidation in combination with non-toxic Cu(II) concentrations in human fibroblasts. This was measured by the thiobarbituric acid assay (TBA assay) and by detection of accumulating fluorescent products after a 1-hr treatment of cells with CuCl2/PG at concentrations higher than 0.125 mM. PG alone led to a significant reduction of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) demonstrating its antioxidative properties. Time course studies of lipid peroxidation by PG/Cu(II) showed that formation of TBARS was preceded by a lag phase of 60 min. Thereafter, the TBARS value increased rapidly for 1 hr and then reached a constant maximum or slightly decreased. The induction of lipid peroxidation by PG/Cu(II) is probably due to the formation of reactive species like reactive oxygen species (ROS), Cu(I) and semiquinone radicals which are able to participate in initiation and propagation of lipid peroxidation. Combination effects of PG/Cu(II) were demonstrated also on inhibition of membrane-bound succinate dehydrogenase. Cytosolic esterases were affected only slightly. The greater susceptibility of membrane-bound enzymes is in accordance with the lipid peroxidation-inducing effects of PG/Cu(II).We looked at the in vitro effect of an antioxidant, propyl gallate (PG), on the antifungal activity of miconazole sulphosalicylate, econazole sulphosalicylate and ketoconazole against 40 clinical isolates of Candida albicans. The combination of imidazole and PG gave MIC values 10-150 times lower than those of imidazole alone. The optimal conditions for this enhanced activity were pH 6.2-8.0 and a fungal cell concentration lower than 3 x 10(5) cells/mL. The mechanism of the interaction between imidazole and PG is not known but may be as a result of an effect of PG on the P-450 cytochrome. ...Partial protection against liver damage by single oral doses of 2.5 or 0.25 ml/kg of chloroform was provided by ip injection of 150 mg/kg bw of propyl gallate ... .Pregnant New Zealand white rabbits (on gestation day 12) were injected sc with propyl gallate (362-900 mg/kg bw) and hydroxyurea (600-750 mg/kg bw). The materials were injected either simultaneously or mixed over periods of 45 min. The extent of amelioration of the teratogenic effects of hydroxyurea was dependent on the dose of propyl gallate. There was a significant linear decrease in both resorptions and specific malformations with increasing doses of propyl gallate ... .For more Interactions (Complete) data for PROPYL GALLATE (22 total), please visit the HSDB record page.

環境中動態TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 490(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that propyl gallate is expected to have moderate mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of propyl gallate from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 2.1X10-11 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), derived from its estimated vapor pressure, 2.6X10-7 mm Hg(2), and water solubility, 3490 mg/L(3). Propyl gallate is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon its estimated vapor pressure(2). Propyl gallate is reported to be biodegradable in the environment(4) with ultimate aerobic degradation estimated to be weeks and primary degradation in days(5).AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 490(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that propyl gallate is expected to adsorb moderately to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected(3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 2.1X10-11 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) derived from its estimated vapor pressure, 2.6X10-7 mm Hg(2), and water solubility, 3490 mg/L(4). According to a classification scheme(5), an estimated BCF of 7(SRC), from its log Kow of 1.80(6) and a regression-derived equation(2), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Propyl gallate is reported to be biodegradable in the environment(7) with ultimate aerobic degradation estimated to be weeks and primary degradation in days(8). A base-catalyzed second-order hydrolysis rate constant of 0.018 L/mole-sec(SRC) was estimated using a structure estimation method(2)this corresponds to half-lives of 12 and 1.2 years at pH values of 7 and 8, respectively(2). Propyl gallate is reported to react readily with photo-oxidant radicals in aqueous media(9)therefore, photo-oxidation may have some importance in surface waters exposed to sunlight(SRC).ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), propyl gallate, which has an estimated vapor pressure of 2.6X10-7 mm Hg at 25 °C(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(2), will exist in both the vapor and particulate phases in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase propyl gallate is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC)the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 4.2 hours(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 9.2X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(2). Particulate-phase propyl gallate may be removed from the air by wet and dry deposition(SRC). Propyl gallate absorbs at wavelengths >290 nm(3) and, therefore, may be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC).

毒性の概要On the basis of the data presented in this report, the CIR Expert Panel concludes that Propyl Gallate is safe in the practices of use as described in this safety assessment at concentrations less than or equal to 0.1%.Safe for use in cosmetics, with qualificationsIDENTIFICATION AND USE: Propyl gallate is white to creamy-white crystalline powder. It is used as an antioxidant for foods and cosmeticsespecially fats, oils, emulsions, and waxes. It is used in transformer oils and as a stabilizer for synthetic vitamin A. It is also used as experimental medication. HUMAN EXPOSURE AND TOXICITY: Statistically significant increase in propyl gallate-positive rates on patch testing over the last decade have been reported. Propyl gallate produced contact dermatitis in 5 of 10 patients. Patients applied 20% in 70% ethyl alcohol to forearm daily for 24 days. 5 patients complained of pruritus and erythema. Propyl gallate was investigated in vitro at concentration of 0.5, 5.0 and 50 ug/mL employing WI-38 human embryonic lung cells for anaphase abnormalities. Propyl gallate was not mutagenic. ANIMAL STUDIES: In a 4-week oral toxicity study, rats ingested 0%, 0.1%, 0.5%, or 2.5% propyl gallate in feed. In rats ingesting the highest dose, a decrease in weight gain of more than 10%, dirty tails, thickening of the stomach wall, necrosis, and ulceration of the stomach mucosa, a moderate to severe granulomatous inflammatory response in the submucosa and muscular wall of the stomach, anemia, hyperplastic tubuli in the outer medulla of the kidneys, and increased activity of several microsomal and cytoplasmic drug-metabolizing enzymes in the liver were observed. Increased activity of hepatic drug metabolizing enzymes was also noted in rats treated with 0.5% propyl gallate. No effects were noted in those ingesting 0.1%. Guinea pigs fed 0.02% propyl gallate in the diet for 14 months and dogs fed 0.01% for a year showed no signs of toxicity. Administration to rats of 2.5% propyl gallate in the diet caused maternal toxicity and slight retardation of fetal development, but no teratogenic effects. In dose levels up to 250 mg/kg/day, propyl gallate had no effects on organogenesis in rabbits. At a concentration of 0-0.1 mg/plate, propyl gallate was mutageni
Average Daily IntakeAverage daily intake assessment: 0.25 - 1.11 mg/kg bw/day in adults(1). Propyl gallate has an ADI of 0-1.4 mg/kg bw/day established by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives(JECFA)(2).
生態毒性抜粋/AQUATIC SPECIES/ ... The toxic effects /of propyl gallate on aquatic organisms/ were investigated, using five model systems from four trophic levels. The most sensitive system was the hepatoma fish cell line PLHC-1 according to total protein content, with an EC(50) of 10 uM and a NOAEL of 1 uM at 72 hr, followed by the immobilization of Daphnia magna, the inhibition of bioluminescence of Vibrio fischeri, the salmonid fish cell line RTG-2 and the inhibition of the growth of Chlorella vulgaris. Although protein content, neutral red uptake, methylthiazol metabolization and acetylcholinesterase activity were reduced in PLHC-1 cells, stimulations were observed for lysosomal function, succinate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase activities. No changes were observed in metallothionein levels. The main morphological observations were the loss of cells and the induction of cell death mainly by necrosis but also by apoptosis. The protective and toxic effects of propyl gallate were evaluated. General antioxidants and calcium chelators did not modify the toxicity of propyl gallate, but an iron-dependent lipid peroxidation inhibitor gave 22% protection. The results also suggest that propyl gallate cytotoxicity is dependent on glutathione levels, which were modulated by malic acid diethyl ester and 2-oxothiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid. According to the results, propyl gallate should be classified as toxic to aquatic organisms.
Plant ConcentrationsPropyl gallate was detected, not quantified in corn kernels (Zea mays, Poceae)(1).
Ongoing Test StatusEPA has released the Interactive Chemical Safety for Sustainability (iCSS) Dashboard. The iCSS Dashboard provides an interactive tool to explore rapid, automated (or in vitro high-throughput) chemical screening data generated by the Toxicity Forecaster (ToxCast) project and the federal Toxicity Testing in the 21st century (Tox21) collaboration. /The title compound was tested by ToxCast and/or Tox21 assays/[USEPAICSS Dashboard ApplicationAvailable from, as of September 8, 2016: http://actor.epa.gov/dashboard/]The following link will take the user to the National Toxicology Program (NTP) Test Agent Search Results page for propyl gallate, which tabulates all of the "Short-Term Toxicity Studies," "Long-term Carcinogenicity Studies," and "Genetic Toxicology Studies" performed with this chemical. Clicking on the "Testing Status" link will take the user to the status (i.e., in review, in progress, in preparation, on test, completed, etc.) and results of all the studies that the NTP has done on this chemical.[Available from: http://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/testing/status/agents/ts-10564-y.html]
Soil Adsorption/MobilityUsing a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of propyl gallate can be estimated to be 490(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that propyl gallate is expected to have moderate mobility in soil.
Natural Pollution SourcesPropyl gallate was detected, not quantified in corn kernels (Zea mays, Poceae)(1).
Human Toxicity Excerpts/HUMAN EXPOSURE STUDIES/ ... The objectives were to assess the prevalence of allergic contact dermatitis to propyl gallate in our center from 1988 to 2005. From 1988 to 2005, 9529 patients were patch tested to the face series, 6973 were females and 2556 were males. Patch tests were read at 2 D and 4 D. Positive reactions were scored as per International Contact Dermatitis Research Group recommendations as negative, +, ++, and +++ reactions. Propyl gallate was used at a 1% petrolatum (pet.). A total of 55 patients had positive reactions to propyl gallate 1% pet. (0.57%), 46 were female (0.65%) and 9 were male (0.33%). Using chi-square, there was a significant difference (p<0.05) in the positivity rates between the 1988-96 period (0.45%) and the 1997-2005 period (0.77%). A review of our face series performed in the last 18 years has shown a statistically significant increase in propyl gallate-positive rates on patch testing over the last decade. An increase in its use in the cosmetic industry may well be the explanation for this. Nevertheless, a concomitant reduction of propyl gallate as an antioxidant in food, with oral tolerance being less likely to develop, may also be a contributing factor in the increasing trend of allergic contact dermatitis caused by propyl gallate./HUMAN EXPOSURE STUDIES/Propyl gallate produced contact dermatitis in 5 of 10 patients. Patients applied 20% in 70% ethyl alc to forearm daily for 24 days. 5 Patients complained of pruritus and erythema./CASE REPORTS/ A 29-year-old Turkish woman with allergic contact cheilitis from a lipstick was misdiagnosed as herpes labialis and subsequently worsened with the application of Zovirax cream. Patch tests were positive to Zovirax cream, propylene glycol, the patient's favorite lipstick and propyl gallate. No reaction was seen with Zovirax ophthalmic ointment and Zovirax tablet. The propylene glycol component of the Zovirax cream and the propyl gallate component of the lipstick were regarded as the responsible contact sensitizers. The differential diagnosis was challenging due to concomitant contact sensitization with these agents./CASE REPORTS/ A 62-year-old man, with a 20-year history of seborrhoeic dermatitis, presented with a worsening of his dermatitis. He had previously been demonstrated to be allergic to various topical corticosteroids, so he had been using an emollient cream (Sebclair), containing piroctone olamine and various anti-inflammatory substances, for 6 months, with good effect. Patch testing to the cream and its ingredients revealed positive reactions to both propyl gallate and pentylene glycol. A positive reaction to propylene glycol was also detected, whereas patch testing to butylene glycol was negative. Complete remission followed avoidance of the offending substances.For more Human Toxicity Excerpts (Complete) data for PROPYL GALLATE (20 total), please visit the HSDB record page.
