Product Description
Butyl diphenyl phosphate is mainly used as a flame retardant and plastic additive.
Butyl diphenyl phosphate (CAS 2752-95-6) is an organophosphorus compound classified as an alkyl diaryl phosphate ester. Its molecular formula is C16H19O4P, with a molecular weight of 306.29 g/mol. It is primarily used as a flame retardant and plasticizer in a variety of polymers, including PVC, and in industrial fluids. In research, it serves as an analytical reference standard for environmental monitoring of organophosphate flame retardants in air, water, and soil. It is not a pharmaceutical drug; it is an industrial chemical.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Not applicable. Butyl diphenyl phosphate is an industrial flame retardant and has no specific biological target for therapeutic purposes. In toxicological research, it has been studied as an environmental contaminant and may act as a weak anti-androgen or thyroid hormone disruptor, but these are off-target effects. It is also a plasticizer, reducing the glass transition temperature of polymers. It is not intended to bind to any receptor or enzyme for pharmacological effect. Its main utility is chemical, not biological.
ln Vitro
In vitro, this compound is not used for biological activity or drug discovery. It is a chemical standard for analytical method validation. For GC-MS analysis, it is spiked into blank matrices (e.g., water, sediment) at 0.1-50 ug/mL to calibrate environmental monitoring methods. It does not exhibit significant enzyme inhibition or receptor modulation in standard drug screening assays at low concentrations. It may show weak inhibition of the androgen receptor at very high concentrations (100 uM) in reporter assays, but this is not a primary application.
ln Vivo
In vivo, this compound is not administered for therapeutic purposes. It is used in animal studies as a model compound to investigate the bioaccumulation, persistence, and metabolism of organophosphate flame retardants. In a 28-day feeding study in rats, administration of 100 mg/kg/day may be performed to examine effects on liver enzymes or thyroid hormone levels. These are toxicological studies, not efficacy models. It is not used for disease treatment.
Enzyme Assay
General protocol for in vitro analytical use: Prepare a 1 mg/mL stock solution in n-hexane. Prepare calibration standards in hexane at 0.1, 0.5, 1, 5, 10, 50, 100 ug/mL. Add 10 uL of internal standard (e.g., Triphenyl phosphate-d15, 10 ug/mL) per mL of standard. Inject 1 uL into a GC-MS with a DB-5MS column (30 m × 0.25 mm). Oven program: 70degC for 1 min, ramp 20degC/min to 300degC, hold 5 min. Detect in EI mode with SIM ions m/z 251, 153, 77. For environmental samples, extract water (100 mL) with 10 mL dichloromethane, dry over sodium sulfate, evaporate, and reconstitute in 1 mL hexane. Store the compound at room temperature. For LC-MS, use C18 column with water:acetonitrile (0.1% formic acid), positive mode, m/z 307 [M+H]+.
Cell Assay
General protocol for in vitro cell-based experiments: For endocrine disruption screening, culture MDA-kb2 cells in RPMI-1640 with 10% charcoal-stripped FBS. Seed in 96-well plates (1×10^4 cells/well). Treat with the compound (1-100 uM) and 1 nM DHT for 24 h. Measure luciferase activity. The compound may cause modest inhibition at 100 uM. Perform a parallel MTT assay to confirm no cytotoxicity. This is a toxicological hazard assessment, not drug discovery.
Animal Protocol
General protocol for in vivo animal experiments: For a toxicokinetic study, administer the compound (100 mg/kg, oral) in corn oil to male Sprague-Dawley rats (n=5). Collect blood at 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, 48 h. Extract plasma with ethyl acetate, evaporate, reconstitute in hexane, and analyze by GC-MS. The half-life is estimated at 6-12 hours. This study assesses systemic exposure, not therapeutic efficacy.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
General pharmacokinetic properties: This compound (MW 306.29) is moderately lipophilic (LogP ~3.5). It is poorly soluble in water but miscible with organic solvents. If absorbed, it would be metabolized by CYP450 enzymes to diphenyl phosphate and butanol. Elimination half-life is expected to be a few hours. For storage, it is a viscous liquid, kept at room temperature in a sealed container. Stock solutions in hexane are stable at -20degC for 6 months.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
General toxicity profile: This industrial chemical is a potential irritant to skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. It is toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects. In a 28-day oral toxicity study in rats, the NOAEL for liver effects was approximately 100 mg/kg/day. It may cause liver hypertrophy at higher doses. GHS hazard statements may include H302, H315, H319, and H411. Standard safety precautions (gloves, lab coat, fume hood) should be used.
