Product Description
2,4-Di-tert-butylphenol is an endogenously produced metabolite.
2,4-Di-tert-butylphenol (2,4-DTBP, CAS 96-76-4) is a bacterial metabolite, an antioxidant, and a marine metabolite. It is an orally active RXRα activator and a human estrogen receptor ligand with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities, which can induce apoptosis in tumor cells. The compound demonstrates potent bactericidal activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis (VRE). It also exhibits antiviral and antifungal activities and has potential to mitigate Aβ-induced neurotoxicity.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary targets of 2,4-Di-tert-butylphenol include RXRα (retinoid X receptor alpha), for which it acts as an activator. It also targets the human estrogen receptor as a ligand. The compound activates various RXRα-associated pathways, including LXRα/RXRα and PPARγ/RXRα. It demonstrates bactericidal activity against MRSA and VRE and induces apoptosis in tumor cells. These targets make it relevant for cancer, infectious disease, and neurodegenerative research.
ln Vitro
In vitro, 2,4-Di-tert-butylphenol demonstrates potent bactericidal activity against MRSA and VRE. It induces apoptosis in tumor cells and activates RXRα-associated pathways including LXRα/RXRα and PPARγ/RXRα. The compound exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. It also shows antiviral and antifungal activities and has potential to mitigate Aβ-induced neurotoxicity. These in vitro activities support its use in multiple research areas.
ln Vivo
In vivo, 2,4-Di-tert-butylphenol is orally active and has demonstrated RXRα activation. Its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities suggest potential therapeutic applications in inflammatory diseases. The compound's ability to induce apoptosis in tumor cells suggests anticancer potential. However, detailed in vivo efficacy data are limited. Further studies are needed to evaluate its therapeutic potential in animal models of cancer, infection, and neurodegenerative diseases.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for 2,4-Di-tert-butylphenol include RXRα and estrogen receptor binding studies. The compound is incubated with receptor preparations at concentrations ranging from 0.1-1000 μM, and binding affinity is determined using radioligand competition or fluorescence polarization assays. RXRα activation is assessed using reporter gene assays. Antibacterial activity is assessed using broth microdilution methods against MRSA and VRE. Antiviral and antifungal activities are evaluated using appropriate assays. All assays include appropriate controls.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays for 2,4-Di-tert-butylphenol are conducted using cancer cell lines for apoptosis studies, bacterial cultures for antibacterial studies, and neuronal cells for neurotoxicity studies. Cells are treated with compound concentrations ranging from 0.1-1000 μM for 24-72 hours. Cell viability is assessed using MTT assays. Apoptosis is evaluated by annexin V/PI staining and caspase activity assays. RXRα activation is assessed using reporter gene assays. Antibacterial activity is measured by MIC determination. Experiments include vehicle controls and positive controls.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies with 2,4-Di-tert-butylphenol are limited, as the compound is primarily used as a research tool. Anticancer studies may be conducted in mouse xenograft models. Anti-inflammatory studies may be conducted in models of inflammation. Neuroprotection studies may be conducted in models of Alzheimer's disease. The compound is administered via oral or intraperitoneal routes at doses ranging from 1-50 mg/kg. Each group consists of 6-10 animals with vehicle-treated controls.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of 2,4-Di-tert-butylphenol have not been extensively characterized. As a small, lipophilic molecule (MW 206.33, C14H22O), it is expected to have good oral bioavailability and tissue distribution. The compound is orally active and likely undergoes hepatic metabolism through oxidation and conjugation, with elimination via biliary and renal excretion. Detailed PK parameters such as half-life, Cmax, and AUC require further investigation.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for 2,4-Di-tert-butylphenol indicate that it is generally well-tolerated at concentrations used for research. The compound is a bacterial metabolite and antioxidant. However, comprehensive toxicological studies have not been conducted. As with all research chemicals, appropriate safety precautions should be taken during handling, and the compound should be used only for research purposes.

  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
