Gallic acid
Gallic acid is used as a standard for determining the phenol content of various analytes by the Folin-Ciocalteau assay.
It was found to show cytotoxicity against cancer cells, without harming healthy cells. Gallic acid is used as a remote astringent in cases of internal haemorrhage. It is also used to treat albuminuria and diabetes. Some ointments to treat psoriasis and external haemorrhoids contain gallic acid.

Slightly soluble in water; soluble in alcohol, ether, glycerol, acetone.
