Q1: What is Methyl Gallate (CAS 99-24-1)?
A: Methyl Gallate (CAS 99-24-1), Sinanox® MG, is a natural methyl ester of gallic acid. Structurally known as methyl 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoate, it is a white to off-white crystalline powder found naturally in various plants. It is highly valued as a powerful organic antioxidant and structural intermediate across pharmaceutical and cosmetics sectors due to its strong free-radical scavenging capacity.
Q2: What are the common uses of Methyl Gallate in modern industry?
A: The common uses of Methyl Gallate span multiple advanced sectors. In the pharmaceutical industry, its main
uses focus on serving as an essential synthesis intermediate for drug development due to its proven anti-viral
and anti-inflammatory properties. In cosmetic manufacturing, it is heavily utilized in anti-aging creams and serums to inhibit tyrosinase (skin whitening), while in material science, it serves as an additive to protect lipids, oils, and polymers from oxidative degradation.
