Chemical Structure

Biological activities

Tannic acid is a potent chelator of iron ions. Tannic acid inhibits the degradation of 2-deoxyribose induced by 6 µM Fe (II) plus 100 µM H2O2 with an IC50 of 13 µM. Tannic acid has been described as having antimutagenic, anticarcinogenic and antioxidant activities. Tannic acid also inhibits 2-deoxyribose degradation mediated by Fe (III)-EDTA (iron = 50 µM) plus ascorbate. Tannic acid inhibits iron-mediated oxyradical formation like other iron chelators, such as desferrioxamine (DFO), 1, 10-phenanthroline and pyridoxal isonicotinoyl hydrazone (PIH). [1] Tannic acid agglutinates erythrocytes which have the ability to promote adsorption of proteins by erythrocytes. Tannic acid alters the surface properties of the red blood cells, changing them from a hydrophilic to a hydrophobic state. [2] Tannic acid interferes in the oxidation of succinate by inhibition of the carrier of succinate. Tannic acid strongly inhibits the ATPases of the enterocytes. [3]

Protocols

Fresh solutions of tannic acid are made in saline in vitro. [2]
