Purpurogallin is an aglycone natural product. It is an orange-red solid that is soluble in polar organic solvents but not in water. Its glycoside (ether-linked to sugar), called dryophantin, is found in nutgalls and oak barks. Purpurogallin can be prepared by oxidation of pyrogallol with sodium periodate.[1]

Medicinal aspects

Purpurogallin is bioactive[2] It can inhibit 2-hydroxy and 4-hydroxyestradiol methylation by catechol-O-methyltransferase.[3] It potently and specifically inhibits TLR1/TLR2 activation pathway.[4]
