n-Propyl gallate dose-dependently displayed an inhibitory effect on chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) angiogenesis. It markedly increased the endostatin level in both isolated CAM tissues and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). n-Propyl gallate was also able to enhance the endostatin mRNA level in HUVECs. Antinociceptive activity of n-propyl gallate was assessed using an acetic acid-induced writhing test in mice. In brief, n-propyl gallate possesses antiangiogenic activity via up-regulation of endostatin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
