Ellagic Acid

Ellagic acid is a polyphenolic antioxidant that is abundant in many fruits, vegetables, plant bark, and peels. It has anti-carcinogenic, anti-mutagenic, anti-inflammatory, and organ-preserving properties, presumably related to its ability to alter cytochrome P450 activity and improve metabolism and clearance of xenobiotics, as well as alter immune function. Ellagic acid also blocks methylation of arginine 17 of histone 3 (H3R17) by coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase 1 (CARM1) without significantly altering histone acetylase or DNA methyltransferase activity.Formal Name: 2,3,7,8-tetrahydroxy-[1]benzopyrano[5,4,3-cde][1]benzopyran-5,10-dione.
