1,4-Dichlorobenzene
Based on 1 Customer Validation
1,4-Dichlorobenzene is a non-genotoxic, orally active mitogenic/tumor-promoting carcinogen that is also widely used as a dye, resin intermediate, and deodorant, moth repellent/insecticide. 1,4-Dichlorobenzene induces liver tumors in mice and promotes the growth of spontaneous precancerous lesions, but shows no liver tumor-inducing activity in F344 rats. Exposure to 1,4-dichlorobenzene leads to elevated leukocyte counts, serum alanine aminotransferase, and blood urea nitrogen levels. Due to the hepatotoxic characteristics, 1,4-Dichlorobenzene is applicable to liver cancer-related research.

Biological Activity
1,4-dichlorobenzene undergoes hepatic cytochrome P450-mediated biotransformation with distinct profiles across male Wistar rats, male F344 rats, male B6C3F1 mice, and female B6C3F1 mice[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
1,4-Dichlorobenzene (150-300 mg/kg/day; gavage; 5 days per week; two years) induces a dose-related increase in renal tubular cell adenocarcinomas in male F344 rats[1].
1,4-Dichlorobenzene (gavage; daily; 90 days) induces mitogenic liver growth and hepatocellular proliferation in male and female B6C3F1 mice, with liver size returning to normal after compound withdrawal[1].
1,4-Dichlorobenzene (300 ppm; inhalation; continuous; 2 years) increases the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma and hepatoblastoma in male and female B6C3F1 mice[2].
1,4-Dichlorobenzene (1800 mg/kg; i.g.; single dose) induces a 4.5-fold elevation in serum ALT levels in male B6C3F1 mice[2].
1,4-Dichlorobenzene (300 mg/kg; p.o.; daily; 2 years) induces renal tubular adenocarcinoma and mononuclear cell leukemia in male F344 rats[2].
1,4-Dichlorobenzene (600 ppm; inhalation; continuous; 13 weeks) increases the frequency of elevated serum ALT levels in male and female BDF1 mice[2].
1,4-Dichlorobenzene (inhalation) induces hepatic cell proliferation in male and female B6C3F1 mice[2].

-
Dosage:300 mg/kg/day; 600 mg/kg/day
-
Administration:gavage; 5 days per week; two years
-
Result:Induced significant increases in the frequency of hepatocellular carcinomas and adenomas in both male and female mice at 600 mg/kg/day.
Induced an increase in hepatocellular adenomas in male mice at 300 mg/kg/day.
Caused histopathological changes including hepatocellular degeneration, cell size alteration, and focal necrosis at both doses; in male mice, these nonneoplastic lesions affected over two-thirds of animals at 300 mg/kg/day.

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (17.01 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
