Ellagic Acid Cayman Chemical Item Number 10569 Description Ellagic acid is a polyphenolic antioxidant that is abundant in many fruits, vegetables, plant bark, and peels. It has anti-carcinogenic, anti-mutagenic, anti-inflammatory, and organ-preserving properties, presumably related to its ability to alter cytochrome P450 activity and improve metabolism and clearance of xenobiotics, as well as alter immune function.1↗,2↗,3↗ Ellagic acid also blocks methylation of arginine 17 of histone 3 (H3R17) by coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase 1 (CARM1) without significantly altering histone acetylase or DNA methyltransferase activity.4↗,5↗,6↗ Synonyms Gallogen,TBBD,Lagistase Formal Name 2,3,7,8-tetrahydroxy-[1]benzopyrano[5,4,3-cde][1]benzopyran-5,10-dione CAS Number 476-66-4 Molecular Formula C14H6O8 Formula Weight 302.2 Formulation A crystalline solid Purity ≥95% λmax 256, 365 nm Stability 2 years Storage -20°C Shipping Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere SMILES OC1=C(O)C=C2C(C3=C4C=C(O)C(O)=C3OC2=O)=C1OC4=O InCHI Code 1S/C14H6O8/c15-5-1-3-7-8-4(14(20)22-11(7)9(5)17)2-6(16)10(18)12(8)21-13(3)19/h1-2,15-18H InCHI Key AFSDNFLWKVMVRB-UHFFFAOYSA-N -20°C
