Biological Activity
Terbuthylazine (6500 nM; 3 h pulse, continuous long-term exposure) causes Lemna minor to show rapid inhibition of photosynthesis (measured via Fvj) within 1 h after a 3-h pulse, followed by near-complete recovery of Fvj within 24 h and no significant long-term growth inhibition[1].
Terbuthylazine (4-7 days long-term exposure; 3 h pulse exposure followed by 4-7 days herbicide-free growth) inhibits Lemna minor area-specific growth (EC50 values of 141, 645, 796 nM for 7 or 4 days), but a 3-h pulse exposure requires concentrations >22- to >123-fold higher to induce similar growth effects due to rapid recovery[1].
Terbuthylazine (0.58-8.00 ng/mL; 4 h) reduces human peripheral blood lymphocyte viability in a concentration-dependent manner, with the 8.00 ng/mL concentration reducing viability by 15% primarily via apoptosis[2].
Terbuthylazine (0.58-8.00 ng/mL; 4 h) does not significantly reduce human HepG2 cell viability at concentrations of 0.58, 0.80, or 8.00 ng/mL after 4 h of exposure[2].
Terbuthylazine (0.58-8.00 ng/mL; 4 h) induces low-level DNA instability in human peripheral blood lymphocytes and HepG2 cells, with significantly increased DNA damage detected at 0.80 and 8.00 ng/mL after 4 h of exposure[2].

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 (10.88 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic
This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.5 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.
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.
For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly:
It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
