Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
4-tert-Octylphenol, a endocrine-disrupting chemical, is an estrogenic agent. 4-tert-Octylphenol is also a biodegradation product of non-ionic surfactants alkylphenol polyethoxylates. 4-tert-Octylphenol induces apoptosis in neuronal progenitor cells in offspring mouse brain. 4-tert-Octylphenol reduces bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU), mitotic marker Ki67, and phospho-histone H3 (p-Histone-H3), resulting in a reduction of neuronal progenitor proliferation. 4-tert-Octylphenol disrupts brain development and behavior in mice, which is promising for reserch of immune response, neuro-related diseases and ethology.

4-tert-Octylphenol (0.01 and 1 μM, 24 h) may inhibit proliferation and promote apoptosis of neuronal progenitor cells during the early stage of brain development[1].
4-tert-Octylphenol (10 μM, 6 h) down-regulates the expression of IL-12p35, IFN-γ2 and CXCb2 in LPS-stimulated monocytes/macrophages and decreases the levels of nitric oxide (NO) released from LPS-stimulated cells[3].

4-tert-Octylphenol (10, 50 mg/kg, s.c., a single dose for 24 h) promotes cell cycle exit and inhibits cell cycle reentry of dentate gyrus (DG) neural progenitors in embryonic and adult neurogenesis[1].
4-tert-Octylphenol (2.5 μg/kg, feed, daily for 14 days) lowers numbers of peritoneal leukocytes/phagocytes compared to those in control infected animals in peritoneal and head kidney leukocytes of fish[3].

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 (12.12 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
