Pyrogallol is recently known to be a inhibitor of catechol-o-methyl transferase (COMT) and increase the action of epinephrine on the isolated rabbit atria. In this experiment, the author attempated to investigate the influence of pyrogallol on the effect of ephedrine and epinephrine on the blood pressure of the rabbit and isolated atria and excised intestine of the rabbit. The results obtained were summarized as follows; 1. Pyrogallol tends to increase the blood pressure and respiration of the rabbit. But it has no significant effect on the excised rabbit atria and intestine. 2. The effect of ephedrine on the blood pressure and respiration, isolated atria and excised intestine of the rabbit were not influenced by the pretreatment with pyrogallol. 3. The effect of epinephrine on the blood pressure and isolated atria of the rabbit is potentiated with pyrogallol pretreatment.

For the production of pyrogallot from gallic acid, about 100 strains of bacteria capable of assimilating gallic acid as a sole carbon and energy source were isolated from the soil. JH- 004 strain showing the highest activity of gallate decarboxy#lase was selected from them and identi- fied as Erwinia sp. The optimal conditions for the production of pyrogallol from gallic acid were examined. The resting cells of JH-004 cultured in a complex medium containing 0.2%(w/v) gallic acid were prepared after the treatment of the pellet with a freezing and thawing, and used as a enzyme source. The reaction mixtures for the maximal production of pyrogallol were shown to be 6 g/l of resting cells and 15 g/l of gallic acid in 25 mM potassium phosphate buffer. The optimal pH for the reaction was 5.0 and the optimal temperature was 35$\circ$C . Additionally, Triton X-100(0.01%, w/v) was found to be most effective for the production of pyrogallol. Under the above conditions, 10.27 g/l of pyrogallol was produced from 15 g/l of gallic acid after incubation of 35 hrs. This amount of pyrogallol corresponds to a 92.37% yields, based on gallic acid.

Gallic acid로부터 pyrogallol로 전환하는 균주를 토양에서 분리 동정하여 얻는 Pseudomonas sp. KS-96의 균체를 회전원판 반응조에 고정화시킨 후 연속전환을 시도하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. Gallate decarboxylase의 활성은 배양 24시간에서 가장 좋았다. 반응조의 원판에 gallic acid가 함유된 액체 배양액을 시간당 20m${\ell}$씩 공급하면서 균체막의 두께가 steady state에 도달할때까지 공급하였다. 균체를 고정화 시킨 후 시간 경과에 따른 전환율은 18시간부터 36시간에서 전환율이 높았다. 균체 고정화 후에 gallic acid를 15g/${\ell}$ 함유하는 기질을 시간당 30m${\ell}$씩 주입했을 때 pyrogallol의 전환율이 가장 좋았으며 회전원판 반응조에 의한 연속적 전환은 6일에서 8일까지가 각각 81%, 80%로서 가장 높았다.

Exogenously applied oxygen free radical generating agent, pyrogallol, highly elevated extracellular glutamate accumulation and augmented N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-induced glutamate accumulation in cerebellar granule neuronal cells, but did not in astrocytes. Superoxide dismutase remarkably decreased the pyrogallol-induced glutamate accumulation, but either NMDA or kainate antagonists did not. In addition, pyrogallol did not affect the NMDAinduced intracellular calcium elevation. Pyrogallol partially blocked glutamate uptake into astrocytes. These results suggest that oxygen free radicals elevate extracellular glutamate accumulation by stimulating the release of glutamate as well as blocking the glutamate uptake.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are implicated in vascular homeostasis. This study investigated whether ${O_2}^{\cdot^-}$, the foundation molecule of all ROS, regulates vasomotor function. Hence, vascular reactivity was measured using rat thoracic aortas exposed to an ${O_2}^{\cdot^-}$ generator (pyrogallol) which dose-dependently regulated both $\alpha$-adrenergic agonist-mediated contractility to phenylephrine and endothelium-dependent relaxations to acetylcholine. Pyrogallol improved and attenuated responses to acetylcholine at its lower (10 nM - 1 ${\mu}M$) and higher (10 - 100 ${\mu}M$) concentrations, respectively while producing the inverse effects with phenylephrine. The endothelial inactivation by L-NAME abolished acetylcholine-induced vasodilatations but increased phenylephrine and KCl-induced vasoconstrictions regardless of the pyrogallol dose used. Relaxant responses to sodium nitroprusside, a nitric oxide donor, were not affected by pyrogallol. Other ROS i.e. peroxynitrite and $H_2O_2$ that may be produced during experiments did not alter vascular functions. These findings suggest that the nature of ${O_2}^{\cdot^-}$-evoked vascular function is determined by its local concentration and the presence of a functional endothelium.

The antioxidant activity of synthetic antioxidants, BHA, BHT and TBHQ and natural antioxidants, rosemary extract, sesamol, caffeic acid and pyrogallol In a skip jack oil were studied. A control and substrates containing synthetic(0.02%) and natural antioxidant (0.05%) were stored in an incubator kept at 37$^{\circ}C$ for 8 days. The antioxidant activity of synthetic and natural antioxidants was investigated by comparing peroxide values. The results of this study were as follows All the synthetic antioxidants used for this study exhibited antioxidant activity in skip jack oils. The antioxidant activity of TBHQ was greater than that of BHA and BHT. The rosemary extract did not show antioxidant activity in skip jack oils. The antioxidant activity of sesamol and caffeic acid were greater than those of BHA. Especially Pyrogallol exhibited very strong antioxidant activity, comparable to that of the TBHQ. The antioxidant activity of the sesamol, caffein acid and pyrogallol used skip lack oil, In decreasing order as follows : pyrogallol>caffeic acid> sesamol.

Some antioxidant phenolic compounds exhibit prooxidant activity mainly due to their abilities to reduce $Fe^{3+}\; to\; Fe^{2+}.$ Reducing ability and prooxidant activity of maltol, an antioxidant component of Korean red ginseng, were compared with those of pyrogallol. Maltol at 2 mM did not appreciably reduce$ Fe^{3+}\; to\; Fe^{2+}$ and also failed to reduce nitroblue tetrazolium. Stimulation of hydroxyl radical mediated-deoxyribose degradation by pyrogallol was maximal at 60 .mu.M. Maltol stimulated the deoxyribose degradation to a much less extent, and a similar stimulatory effect was observed at a concentration of more than 100-fold higher than that of pyrogallol. The stimulatory effect of maltol reached a plateau over 1 mM, suggesting the removal of hydroxyl radicals by excess maltol. In bleomycin-$Fe^{3+}$-DNA assay, maltol at 2 mM produced a 2.5-fold increase of the iron-bleomycin-dependent DNA degradation over the basal value, whereas pyrogallol at 10 .mu.M accelerated DNA degradation by ca. 10-fold. Furthermore, maltol inhibited $Fe^{2+}$-stimulated DNA degradation by bleomycin. These results strongly suggested that maltol is an antioxidant with little prooxidant activity.

Tannase catalyzes the hydrolysis of gallic acid esters and hydrolysable tannins. Twenty-two Lactobacillus strains with tannase activity were isolated from 7 types of kimchi. A polymerase chain reaction-based assay targeting the recA gene assigned all isolates to either Lactobacillus plantarum or Lactobacillus pentosus. The tannase activities of isolates measured in whole cells and cell-free extracts varied even within each species. The activities of the isolates varied with the assay method, but both methods indicated that isolate LT7 (identified as L. pentosus) showed the highest activity. The results of thin layer chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography, respectively, showed that tannic acid and gallic acid degraded to pyrogallol in resting L. pentosus LT7 cells. Therefore, the putative biochemical pathway for the degradation of tannic acid by L. pentosus implies that tannic acid is hydrolyzed to gallic acid and glucose, with the formed gallic acid being decarboxylated to pyrogallol. This study revealed the possible production of pyrogallol from tannic acid by the resting cell reaction with L. pentosus LT7.
