Product Information

• Name: 3,4,5-Trimethoxybenzoic acid
• Synonyms: Eudesmic acidGallic acid trimethyl etherNSC 2525
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3,4,5-Trimethoxybenzoic acid is an experimental drug that has been shown to have significant cytotoxicity in a chronic oral model. It inhibits the activity of a number of enzymes including esterases, lipases, and proteases. This compound also showed significant cytotoxicity when tested in the water vapor chronic inhalation model. 3,4,5-Trimethoxybenzoic acid may be toxic to humans because it binds to calcium channels and inhibits the release of ryanodine from its storage sites on the sarcoplasmic reticulum. This inhibition may lead to muscle cramps and tetany as well as cardiac arrhythmias. The toxicity of 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid has been studied in rats using a number of methods including titration calorimetry and chlorogenic acids extraction from rat liver.
