    Product Description

    β-Glucogallin is a plant metabolite that has been found in E. officinalis and an aldose reductase 2 inhibitor (IC50 = 17 µM).1 β-Glucogallin (30 µM) inhibits glucose-induced sorbitol accumulation in lenses isolated from a transgenic mouse model overexpressing AKR1B1, the gene encoding human aldose reductase 2. It also reduces methylglyoxal-induced increases in COX-2, IL-6, IL-8, chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2), and receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) levels in ARPE-19 retinal epithelial cells.2

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
