Butyl gallate is a chemical compound that functions as an antioxidant in experimental applications. It acts by inhibiting the oxidation of other molecules, thereby preventing the formation of free radicals and oxidative stress. At the molecular level, butyl gallate interacts with reactive oxygen species, neutralizing their harmful effects on cellular components. Butyl Gallate′s mechanism of action involves donating hydrogen atoms to free radicals, stabilizing them and preventing further damage to biological molecules. Butyl gallate is utilized for its ability to protect sensitive compounds from degradation caused by oxidation. Its role as an antioxidant may be useful in studying the effects of oxidative stress on various biological systems.
