Tetrachlorohydroquinone
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Tetrachlorohydroquinone (TCHQ) is a metabolite of Pentachlorophenol. Tetrachlorohydroquinone induces reactive oxidant stress (ROS), inhibits apoptosis and induces necrosis in primary mouse splenocytes. Tetrachlorohydroquinone increases DNA lesions and induces oxidative stress in rodents.

Biological Activity
In the presence of oxygen, Tetrachlorohydroquinone can lead to production of superoxide radicals through a cycle of autoxidation and reduction between Tetrachlorohydroquinone and its corresponding semiquinone radical under certain physiological conditions[1].
Tetrachlorohydroquinone (12.5-50 µM; 0.25-6 hr) induces obvious cytotoxicity in the splenocytes in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Tetrachlorohydroquinone decreases the spontaneous apoptosis[1].
Tetrachlorohydroquinone (12.5-50 µM; 0.25-2 hr) inhibits caspase-3 activity and PARP cleavage[1].
Tetrachlorohydroquinone (12.5-50 µM; 0.25-2 hr) leads to necrotic cell death of the splenocytes through induction of massive and sudden ROS and prolonged ROS-triggered ERK activation[1].

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.
