Avobenzone 

Cat. No.: HY-B0316 Purity: ≥98.0%
COA Handling Instructions

Avobenzone, a dibenzoylmethane compound, is one of the most widely used filters in sunscreens for skin photoprotection in the UVA band. Avobenzone is an endocrine disruptor that directly binds to estrogen receptor β and acts as an estrogen agonist.

Description

Avobenzone, a dibenzoylmethane compound, is one of the most widely used filters in sunscreens for skin photoprotection in the UVA band. Avobenzone is an endocrine disruptor that directly binds to estrogen receptor β and acts as an estrogen agonist[1][2].

In Vitro

Avobenzone (EC50=14.1 μM) significantly promots adipogenesis in hBM-MSCs as its positive control obesogenic chemicals. Avobenzone (10 μM) significantly up-regulates mRNA levels of PPARγ during adipogenesis in hBM-MSCs[2].
Avobenzone (1-50 μM; 48 hours) inhibits proliferative activities of human trophoblast cells[3].
Avobenzone (1-50 μM; 48 hours) induces apoptosis in HTR8/SVneo cells[3].
Avobenzone only shows weak ERa agonism and weak AR antagonism[4].

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

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.
