Product Introduction

Bioactivity
Description
TBHQ (tert-Butylhydroquinone) is an antioxidant that induces an antioxidant response through the redox-sensitive transcription factor Nrf2.
In vitro
HeLa cells treated with tBHQ showed preferential oxidation of mitochondrial thioredoxin-2 (Trx2), while cellular glutathione and cytosolic thioredoxin-1 were not affected. With tBHQ treatments, Trx2 overexpression suppressed Nrf2 accumulation and activity [1]. Pretreatment of Jurkat T cells with tBHQ, prior to activation with anti-CD3/anti-CD28, diminished the production of interleukin-2 (IL-2) at both the transcript and protein levels. Similarly, the expression of CD25 also diminished, albeit to a lesser degree than IL-2, after pretreatment with tBHQ [2].
In vivo
TBHQ treatment prevented left ventricular dilatation and cardiac dysfunction induced by TAC and decreased the prevalence of myocardial apoptosis. TBHQ-induced Akt activation was accompanied by increased phosphorylation of Bad, glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). Blockade of the Akt pathway in vivo accelerated cardiac dysfunction, and abrogated the protective effects of TBHQ. TBHQ also reduced the reactive aldehyde production and protein carbonylation in stressed myocardium [3].
Cell Research
Jurkat T cells were cultured in 96-well plates (1×10^5 cells/well) and treated as described, and cell supernatants were harvested 24h after activation with anti-CD3/anti-CD28. IL-2 was quantified from cell supernatants by the use of a commercially available kit per the manufacturer's protocol. Relative light intensity was quantified at 450nm by Bio-Tek μQuant microplate reader. The IL-2 concentrations of each sample were then calculated using a line ar standard curve on Microsoft Excel [2].
Animal Research
TBHQ powder was directly mixed with the animal food powder at a ratio of 1% (w/w) as described previously. The efficacy of this protocol for TBHQ treatment in vivo has also been validated by other groups. TBHQ treatment was continued for 4 weeks after the TAC surgery [3].

In Vivo Formulation Calculator (Clear solution)

Please enter your animal experiment information in the following box and click Calculate to obtain the mother liquor preparation method and in vivo formula preparation method:
TargetMol | Animal experimentsFor example, your dosage is 10 mg/kg Each animal weighs 20 g, and the dosage volume is 100 μL . TargetMol | Animal experiments A total of 10 animals were administered, and the formula you used is 5% TargetMol | reagent DMSO+30% PEG300+5% Tween 80+60% ddH2O. So your working solution concentration is 2 mg/mL。
Mother liquor preparation method: 2 mg of drug dissolved in 50 μL DMSOTargetMol | reagent (mother liquor concentration of 40 mg/mL), if you need to configure a concentration that exceeds the solubility of the product, please contact us first.
Preparation method for in vivo formula: Take 50 μL DMSOTargetMol | reagent main solution, add 300 μLPEG300TargetMol | reagent mix well and clarify, then add 50 more μL Tween 80, mix well and clarify, then add 600 more μLddH2OTargetMol | reagent mix well and clarify
