Gallium maltolate(CAT: M134327) is a compound that combines gallium with maltol, a naturally occurring organic compound. It has shown potential in treating various conditions, including bacterial infections, cancer, and inflammatory diseases. Gallium’s ability to mimic iron allows it to interfere with the iron-dependent metabolic processes of bacteria and cancer cells, ultimately inhibiting their growth. Gallium maltolate is more bioavailable than other gallium compounds, making it more effective in therapeutic applications. Studies have explored its use in treating drug-resistant bacterial infections and cancers by inducing apoptosis and inhibiting cell proliferation, offering a promising approach in modern medicine.
