Oxybenzone is a UV filter commonly used in tanning and skin protection agents. It is a derivative of benzophenone and is used as an endocrine disrupting chemical that penetrates the placental and blood-brain barriers. It impairs autophagy, alters epigenetic status and disrupts vitamin X-like receptor signaling in apoptotic neuronal cells.

Product Introduction

Bioactivity

Description	Oxybenzone is a UV filter commonly used in tanning and skin protection agents. It is a derivative of benzophenone and is used as an endocrine disrupting chemical that penetrates the placental and blood-brain barriers. It impairs autophagy, alters epigenetic status and disrupts vitamin X-like receptor signaling in apoptotic neuronal cells.
In vitro	A dose-dependent inhibition of PGE2-production is found in the HEPM cell culture following oxybenzone exposure[1]. Benzophenones, including oxybenzone(BP-3) are documented mutagens that increase the rate of damage to DNA, especially when exposed to sunlight. It either can act directly as genotoxicants or become genotoxicants by bioactivation via cytochrome P450 enzymes. Oxybenzone can generate reactive oxygen species, which are potential mutagens, when applied topically to the skin followed by UV light exposure[2].
In vivo	In mice studies, oxybenzone(BP-3) exposure significantly affects fecundity, as well as inducing unexplained mortality in lactating mothers. Studies in both mice and rats demonstrate that generational exposure to oxybenzone(BP-3) reduces body weight, increases liver ([50 %) and kidney weights, induces a 30 % increase in prostate weight, a reduction in immunocompetence, and significantly increases uterine weight in juveniles. In mammals, oxybenzone(BP-3) is renowned for having estrogenic and anti-androgenic activities, causing activation of estrogen receptor proteins and inhibition of androgen receptors[2].
Cell Research	Cells are grown at 37℃ with 100% humidity and 10% CO2. Prior to analyses, cells are subcultured onto 24-well plates and allowed to become 70-90% confluent. On day 1 of the experiment, cells are washed three times with serum-free media containing 0.5% bovine serum albumin (BSA), followed by replacement with the same media that also contained 1 ng/ml of IL-1β with or without oxybenzone. After an exposure time of 24 h, the media are removed, the pH adjusted to 3.5 with HCl, and finally assayed for PGE2-production. (Only for Reference)

In Vivo Formulation Calculator (Clear solution)

Please enter your animal experiment information in the following box and click Calculate to obtain the stock solution preparation method and in vivo formula preparation method:

For example, if the intended dosage is 10 mg/kg for animals weighing 20 g , with a dosing volume of 100 μL per animal, TargetMol | Animal experiments

and a total of 10 animals are to be administered, using a formulation of TargetMol | reagent

10% DMSO+ 40% PEG300+ 5% Tween 80+ 45% Saline/PBS/ddH₂O , the resulting working solution concentration would be 2 mg/mL.

Stock Solution Preparation:

Dissolve 2 mg of the compound in 100 μL DMSO TargetMol | reagent to obtain a stock solution at a concentration of 20 mg/mL . If the required concentration exceeds the compound's known solubility, please contact us for technical support before proceeding.

Preparation of the In Vivo Formulation:

1) Add 100 μL of the DMSO TargetMol | reagent stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix thoroughly until the solution becomes clear.

2) Add 50 μL Tween 80 and mix well until fully clarified.

3) Add 450 μL Saline,PBS or ddH₂O TargetMol | reagent and mix thoroughly until a homogeneous solution is obtained.
