Product Description
4,4'-Oxydiphenol (4,4'-Dihydroxydiphenyl ether) is an estrogen receptor inhibitor (IC50 = 60 μM).
4,4'-Oxydiphenol (4,4'-Dihydroxydiphenyl ether; CAS# 1965-09-9; C12H10O3; MW 202.21) is a diphenyl ether derivative containing two phenolic hydroxyl groups. It appears as a white to orange to green powder or crystal with a melting point of 163-170degC. This compound is used as an organic building block, a pharmaceutical intermediate, and a liquid crystal additive. It is also used in the synthesis of epoxy resins and liquid crystalline polymers.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
4,4'-Oxydiphenol has no defined biological target as a drug. It is an organic building block and a pharmaceutical intermediate. The phenolic hydroxyl groups can act as antioxidants by scavenging free radicals. As a diphenyl ether derivative, it may have weak estrogenic activity by binding to estrogen receptors, but this is not its primary use. It is not a drug; its primary applications are in materials science and organic synthesis. It is used as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals.
ln Vitro
4,4'-Oxydiphenol is not a drug and does not exhibit direct in vitro biological activity as a therapeutic agent. It is a chemical intermediate used in the synthesis of other bioactive compounds. In cell-free systems, it may be used as a substrate for laccase or peroxidase enzymes in polymerization reactions. No enzyme inhibition or cell-based activity is reported. Specific IC₅0 values are not available. It can be used as a monomer in the synthesis of polymers.
ln Vivo
4,4'-Oxydiphenol is not used in vivo as a drug. It is a chemical intermediate used in the production of pharmaceuticals, including anti-inflammatory drugs. No therapeutic in vivo activity is reported. For environmental toxicity studies, it may be used as a reference standard for the analysis of diphenyl ethers in environmental samples. The compound is not intended for systemic administration as a drug.
Enzyme Assay
Not applicable. 4,4'-Oxydiphenol is a chemical intermediate and is not evaluated in standard biological enzyme or receptor binding assays. Its purity (>98% by GC) is assessed by GC or HPLC. ¹H NMR and ¹3C NMR (in DMSO-d₆) confirm the structure, with characteristic signals for the aromatic protons (delta 6.8-7.3 ppm) and the phenolic OH protons (delta 9.5 ppm). Physicochemical properties: MW 202.21, LogP ~3-4, melting point 163-170degC, boiling point 379.2degC, soluble in organic solvents (methanol, DMSO), slightly soluble in water. No biological assays are applicable.
Cell Assay
Not applicable. 4,4'-Oxydiphenol is not used in standard cell-based assays for drug discovery. For toxicity screening, HepG2 or HEK293 cells are seeded in 96-well plates (1×10⁴ cells/well) and treated with 4,4'-Oxydiphenol (1-1000 uM) for 24-72 h. Cell viability is measured by MTT assay. The CC₅0 is expected to be >200 uM, indicating low to moderate cytotoxicity. This testing is for safety assessment only. For polymerization studies, it is used as a monomer.
Animal Protocol
No in vivo animal protocol for 4,4'-Oxydiphenol exists, as it is not a drug candidate. For acute toxicity testing (if required for safety classification), female Sprague-Dawley rats (n=3-5 per dose) are administered a single oral dose of 4,4'-Oxydiphenol in corn oil at 500, 1000, 2000, 5000 mg/kg and observed for 14 days for mortality and clinical signs. The LD₅0 is expected to be >2000 mg/kg (low acute toxicity). Dermal and ocular irritation tests may also be conducted for industrial safety classification.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
No specific PK data for 4,4'-Oxydiphenol is available. As a lipophilic molecule (LogP ~3-4), it would be absorbed if ingested. Metabolism would likely occur via Phase II conjugation (glucuronidation, sulfation) of the phenolic hydroxyl groups. The half-life is expected to be 2-6 hours. The compound is not intended for systemic administration. For research use, it is supplied as a solid (powder or crystalline).
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
For 4,4'-Oxydiphenol, GHS pictogram: Warning. Hazard statements: H315 (Causes skin irritation), H319 (Causes serious eye irritation). Precautionary statements: P264 (Wash skin thoroughly after handling), P280 (Wear protective gloves/ eye protection/ face protection), P302 + P352 (IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of water), P305 + P351 + P338 (IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes; remove contact lenses if present and easy to do; continue rinsing). Storage: at room temperature (recommended in a cool and dark place, <15degC) in a tightly sealed container.

  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • 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)
