Homogeneous suspension
CMC-NA
≥5mg/ml
Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 5 mg of this product to 1 ml of CMC-Na solution, mix evenly to obtain a homogeneous suspension with a final concentration of 5 mg/ml.
* <1 mg/ml means slightly soluble or insoluble. * Please note that Selleck tests the solubility of all compounds in-house, and the actual solubility may differ slightly from published values. This is normal and is due to slight batch-to-batch variations. * Room temperature shipping (Stability testing shows this product can be shipped without any cooling measures.)

Biological Activity
Description
Tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) is an antioxidant compound which is used to prevent lipid peroxidation and shows multiple cytoprotective actions. It is an activator of Nrf2.
Targets
Nrf2
In vitro
Tert-butylhydroquinone (tBHQ) is a metabolite of the chemical compound butylated hydroxyanisole and induces Nrf2 activation and conveys protection against hydrogen peroxide, 6-hydroxydopamine, the pesticidal deltamethrin, and other toxicants. This compound preferentially alters the redox status in the mitochondrial compartment in HeLa cells. HeLa cells treated with this chemical show a preferential oxidation of mitochondrial thioredoxin-2 (Trx2), while cellular glutathione and cytosolic thioredoxin-1 are not affected. In cultured H9c2 cells and primary cardiac myocytes, it stimulates Akt phosphorylation and suppresses oxidant-induced apoptosis.
In Vivo
TBHQ treatment elicits significant cytoprotective actions in different organs under pathological conditions. Systemic or local intra-cerebroventricular treatment with this compound in an ischemic stroke model in rats significantly reduces the infarct size and neurological deficits. Administration of this chemical in rats suppresses renal damage and oxidative stress after ischemia and reperfusion injury. In mice with type 1 diabetes, chronic treatment with this compound significantly reduces the degree of glomerular fibrosis and ameliorates proteinuria. This compound prevents left ventricular dilatation and cardiac dysfunction induced by transverse aortic constriction (TAC), and decreases the prevalence of myocardial apoptosis. The beneficial effects of this chemical are associated with an increase in Akt activation, but not related to activations of Nrf2 or AMP-activated protein kinase. This compound-induced Akt activation is accompanied by increased phosphorylation of Bad, glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR).
HeLa cells are grown until confluent and loaded with 100 µM DCF in loading medium (DMEM with 1% FBS) for 30 min. Cells are washed and then treated with tBHQ (0-15 μM in DMSO) for 1 h. DCF fluorescence is followed in a fluorometer at 488-nm excitation and 520-nm emission.
