Gallic acid monohydrate is a natural phenolic compound present in plants, such as oak and sumac. It has been shown to have anticarcinogenic properties in animal models of cancer. Gallic acid monohydrate inhibits the growth of tumor cells by binding to the DNA of tumor cells and inhibiting the synthesis of RNA and proteins. It also possesses antioxidant properties, which may be due to its ability to scavenge free radicals. Gallic acid monohydrate is soluble in water, but not in organic solvents such as ether or chloroform. It exists as two crystalline polymorphs: one anhydrous form that occurs at room temperature and a hydrated form that appears when heated above 40 degrees Celsius. In vitro assays have shown that gallic acid monohydrate is stable when exposed to heat, light, and pH changes.END>
