Key Points

To explore the anticancer properties of specific phenolic compounds, particularly focusing on the pyrogallol moiety and the carboxyl group.
Cancer cells (PC-3) were treated with compound 1 containing the pyrogallol moiety.
Fluorescence microscopy was used to observe the effects on the cells after treatment.
Compound 1 induced apoptosis in PC-3 cells based on fluorescence microscopy observations.

Abstract

It was observed that pyrogallol moiety was one of the essential functional structures of the phenolic compounds in exhibiting anticancer activity. Also, the carboxyl group of compound 1 was also important in anticancer activity. Examination of the PC-3 cells treated with compound 1 using fluorescence microscopy showed that PC-3 cells were killed by apoptosis.
