Biological Activity

Description

Tannic acid (Gallotannic acid), a polyphenolic compound, is a CXCL12/CXCR4 inhibitor with antiangiogenic, anti-inflammatory and antitumor activity.

Targets

CXCR4 ^[1]

In vitro

Tannic acid, at nontoxic concentrations, specifically inhibits CXCL12-induced human monocyte migration (IC50, 7.5 μg/ml) but does not inhibit CCL2-, CCL3-, CCL5-, formylmethionylleucylphenylalanine (fMLP)-, or C5a-induced migration. The compound markedly blocks CXCL12 binding to THP-1 cells (IC50, 0.36 μg/ml). Tannic acid also inhibits CXCL12-induced, but not epidermal growth factor-induced, migration of MDA 231 breast tumor cells. Additionally, 0.5 μg/ml of tannic acid selectively inhibits CXCL12-mediated, but not basic fibroblast growth factor- or endothelial cell growth supplement-mediated, bovine aorta endothelial cell capillary tube formation^[1].

In vivo

Given in drinking water, tannic acid enhances the survival rate of mice bearing syngeneic tumors^[1].

Protocol (from reference)

Cell Assay:^{^[1]}	Cell lines THP-1 cells or BAEC cells Concentrations 0-100 μg/ml Incubation Time 24 h Method Freshly isolated human monocytes, THP-1 cells or BAEC cells, are plated into 96-microwell plates at 1 × 10⁵ cells/well in the presence of tannic acid at a final concentration of 100 μg/ml. Cell viability is determined by [3H]thymidine incorporation (THP-1 cells and BAEC cells) or trypan blue exclusion (human monocytes), 24 h after coincubation at 37°C in humidified air with 5% CO2.
