Superiority
Octyl gallate (3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoate) is reported to possess antifungal activity against Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Zygosaccharomyces bailii. The fungicidal activity associated with octyl gallate is due to its ability to act as a nonionic surface-active agent (surfactant). Octyl gallate, an alkyl gallate, is reported to exhibit direct antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus BB568. It is reported to inhibit the activity of soybean lipoxygenase-1 (EC 1.13.11.12, type I) with an IC50 of 1.3?M. It is also effective in preventing lipid peroxidation.
