Cat. No.: HY-B1066 Purity: 99.78%
COA Handling Instructions

Butylhydroxyanisole (Butylated hydroxyanisole) is an antioxidant used as a food additive preservative. Butylhydroxyanisole mediates liver toxicity, retardation in reproductive organ development and learning, and sleep deficit. Butylhydroxyanisole exerts neurotoxic effects and leads to disruption of the brain and nerve development. Butylhydroxyanisole is a ferroptosis inducer.

Description

Butylhydroxyanisole (Butylated hydroxyanisole) is an antioxidant used as a food additive preservative. Butylhydroxyanisole mediates liver toxicity, retardation in reproductive organ development and learning, and sleep deficit. Butylhydroxyanisole exerts neurotoxic effects and leads to disruption of the brain and nerve development[1][2][3]. Butylhydroxyanisole is a ferroptosis inducer[4].

In Vitro

Butylhydroxyanisole exerts neurotoxic effects by promoting cytosolic calcium accumulation and endoplasmic reticulum stress in astrocytes[1].
Butylhydroxyanisole (25-100 μM; 48 hours) inhibits growth and induces death in human astrocytes[1].
Butylhydroxyanisole (100 μM; 48 hours) decreases the expression of cell-cycle-related proteins and increased the expression of the cell cycle inhibitory protein[1].
Butylhydroxyanisole (100 μM; 48 hours) mediates apoptotic signals in NHA-SV40LT Cells[1].
Butylhydroxyanisole also increases the cytosolic calcium level and the expression of endoplasmic reticulum stress proteins[1].
Butylhydroxyanisole induces testicular dysfunction in mouse testis cells by dysregulating calcium homeostasis and stimulating endoplasmic reticulum stress[2].

Cell Proliferation Assay[1]

Cell Line: NHA-SV40LT cells
Concentration: 0 μM, 25 μM, 50 μM, 75 μM, 100 μM
Incubation Time: 48 hours
Result: Exerted antiproliferative effects.

Cell Cycle Analysis[1]

Cell Line: NHA-SV40LT cells
Concentration: 100 μM
Incubation Time: 48 hours
Result: Downregulated the typical cell proliferative signaling pathways, phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2.

Apoptosis Analysis[1]

Cell Line: NHA-SV40LT cells
Concentration: 100 μM
Incubation Time: 48 hours
Result: Increased the levels of pro-apoptotic proteins, such as BAX, cytochrome c, cleaved caspase 3, and cleaved caspase 9, and decreased the level of anti-apoptotic protein BCL-XL.

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: NHA-SV40LT cells
Concentration: 100 μM
Incubation Time: 48 hours
Result: Increased the expression of pro-apoptotic proteins and decreased the levels of anti-apoptotic proteins. Asterisks show significant effects.
In Vivo

Butylhydroxyanisole (200 mg/kg; i.g.; daily; for three days) induces distinct expression patterns of Nrf2 and detoxification enzymes in the liver and small intestine of C57BL/6 mice[3].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Five-week-old C57BL/6 mice (WT and Nrf2-/-)[3]
Dosage: 200 mg/kg
Administration: Oral gavage, daily, for three days
Result: Increased Nqo1 staining in hepatocytes, predominately in the pericentral region.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
