Gallic acid (GA) is a naturally occurring polyhydroxyphenolic compound and an excellent free radical scavenger. In this study, we examined its cytotoxic and biochemical effects on the human HL-60 promyelocytic leukemia cell line. GA caused a significant imbalance of deoxynucleosidetriphosphate (dNTP) pool sizes, indicating ribonucleotide reductase inhibition. Moreover, GA induced dose-dependent apoptosis in HL-60 cells (80 mu M GA led to the induction of apoptosis in 39% of cells) and attenuated progression from G0/G1 to the S phase of the cell cycle (60 tM GA doubled the number of cells in G0/G1 phase from 22 to 44% when compared to untreated controls). We further determined IC50 values of 3.5 and 4.4 nM for the inhibition of cyclooxygenases I and II, respectively. When cells were simultaneously treated with GA and trimidox, another inhibitor of RR, highly synergistic growth inhibitory effects could be observed. Taken together, we identified novel biochemical effects of GA which could be the basis for further preclinical and in vivo studies. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
