Benzylacetone
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Benzylacetone (4-Penylbutan-2-one) is an aromatic compound. Benzylacetone is a mushroom tyrosinase inhibitor with an IC50 of 2.8 mM, a Ki of 1.25 mM for monophenolase and an IC50 of 0.6 mM, a Ki of 0.39 mM for diphenolase. Benzylacetone inhibits free mushroom tyrosinase and enzyme-substrate complex. Benzylacetone acts as an appetite enhancer via olfactory stimulation, reduces spontaneous locomotor activity, induces weight gain. Benzylacetone exhibits repellent, fumigant, and contact toxicity against Tribolium castaneum adults.

Benzylacetone (0-3.0 mM) reversibly inhibits mushroom tyrosinase diphenolase activity as a mixed-type inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.6 mM and a Ki of 0.39 mM[1].
Benzylacetone (0-5.0 mM) reversibly inhibits mushroom tyrosinase monophenolase activity as a mixed-type inhibitor with an IC50 of 1.5 mM, and a Ki of 1.25 mM, without significantly altering the reaction lag time, and it primarily inhibits the enzyme-substrate complex[1].
Benzylacetone (0.13-78.63 nL/cm2; 2-4 h) exhibits dose-dependent and time-dependent repellent activity against 1-2 week old adult Tribolium castaneum, and sustained activity even at low concentrations after 4 h exposure[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 (16.87 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.
