Description
Phloroglucinol is a chemical compound that possesses antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This is achieved by inhibiting the activity of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), which are enzymes that play a role in inflammation. By blocking these enzymes, phloroglucinol can reduce the production of inflammatory compounds. Trimethylphloroglucinol is a derivative of phloroglucinol. It contains additional methyl groups and has been shown to have antioxidant and antibacterial properties.
