Cat. No.: HY-107859 Purity: 97.07%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP) is a widely used organic phosphorus flame retardant, mainly used as a plasticizer. Tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate has orally active hepatotoxicity, inducing an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and calcium ions (Ca²⁺) influx, a decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential (△Ψm), and causing DNA damage and cell apoptosis. Tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate directly binds to FXR, inducing obesity and the formation of fatty liver in mice. Chloroethyl) phosphate activates the TLR4/NF-κB pathway, triggering liver inflammation.

Description

Tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP) is a widely used organic phosphorus flame retardant, mainly used as a plasticizer. Tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate has orally active hepatotoxicity, inducing an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and calcium ions (Ca²⁺) influx, a decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential (△Ψm), and causing DNA damage and cell apoptosis. Tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate directly binds to FXR, inducing obesity and the formation of fatty liver in mice. Chloroethyl) phosphate activates the TLR4/NF-κB pathway, triggering liver inflammation[1][2][3].

In Vitro

Tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate (100-400 μM, 3 days) induces the death of HepG2 cells by disrupting mitochondrial function and the integrity of lysosomal membranes[3].
Tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate (100-400 μM, 3 days) causes dose-dependent DNA strand breaks, induces ROS/NO bursts, Ca²⁺ influx and △Ψm collapse in HepG2 cells, and triggers apoptosis[3].
Tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate (100 μM, 3 days) upregulates oncogenes such as IGFBP5 and STMN1, and downregulates tumor suppressor genes such as SNAI1 in HepG2 cells[3].

Apoptosis Analysis[3]

Cell Line: HepG2 cells
Concentration: 100, 200 and 400 μM
Incubation Time: 3 d
Result: Significantly induced apoptosis, the proportion of the SubG1 peak reached 65.96% in the 400 μM group.
In Vivo

Tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate (0.5-5 μg/L, for 28 days) exerts hepatotoxic impacts on zebrafish by disrupting hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid and gut−liver axes[1].
Tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate (20-60 mg/kg, i.g., once daily for 9 weeks) induces obesity and hepatic steatosis in mice through the FXR signaling pathway[2].

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

Animal Model: Toxicity test models model established in male CD-1 mice (4-6 weeks old, 20-25 g)[2]
Dosage: 20 and 60 mg/kg
Administration: Oral gavage (i.g.), once daily for 9 weeks
Result: Promoted weight gain, expansion of adipose tissue and elevation of serum lipids.
Directly combined and inhibited FXR, thereby down-regulating SHP, activating the SREBP1c/PPARγ lipogenesis pathway, and inhibiting fatty acid oxidation mediated by PPARα.

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.
