BACKGROUND Flowers of Bauhinia kockiana were investigated for their anticancer properties. METHODS Gallic acid (1), and methyl gallate (2), were isolated via bioassay-directed isolation, and they exhibited anticancer properties towards several cancer cell lines, examined using MTT cell viability assay. Pyrogallol (3) was examined against the same cancer cell lines to deduce the bioactive functional group of the phenolic compounds. RESULTS The results showed that the phenolic compounds could…

Three adjacent phenolic hydroxyl groups of gallic acid were responsible for the cytotoxicity, and the carboxyl group was not responsible, but seemed to be implicated in distinguishing between normal cells and cancer cells.

Different generation of inhibitors against gallic acid-induced apoptosis produces different sensitivity to gallic acid.

The results suggest that the generation of a large amount of the inhibitor may endow hepatocytes with insensitivity to gallic acid, and should contribute to the underlying mechanism in the difference in sensitivity of cells togallic acid.
