Phytochemicals

Stability Hygroscopic Applications An oxidative metabolite of Bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) (B433850), as biomarker for human exposure assessment. References Gray, T., et al.: Toxicol. Lett., 11, 141 (1982), Albro, P., et al.: Drug Metab. Rev., 21, 13 (1989), Gray, L., et al.: Toxicol. Sci., 58, 350 (2000),

Carboxyatractyloside poisoning causes multiple organ dysfunction and can be fatal, the signs of a poor prognosis including coagulation abnormalities, hyponatraemia, marked hypoglycaemia, icterus and hepatic and renal failure, without antidote. Carboxyatractyloside can induce permeability transition, and that ageing induced mitochondrial DNA disruption and release of cytochrome c; it induces the inhibitory effect of tamoxifen on nonspecific membrane permeability.

Applications 3-O-Acetyl-beta-boswellic acid possesses anti-inflammatory potential on key inflammatory mediators, TNF-α and IL-6. Main bioactive components of frankincense which is a fragrant resin obtained from plants of the genus Boswellia, acts as a cytotoxic agents. It is also a non-competitive 5-lipoxygenase and topoisomerase I and IIa. References Sharma, S., et al.: Bioorg. Med. Chem.

Stability Moisture Sensitive Applications Dibutyl 4-Hydroxybutyl Phosphate is derived from 4-Tetrahydropyranyloxy-butan-1-ol (T295445), which is a useful building block. It is also a metabolite of Phosphoric Acid Tributyl Ester (P359445), which is used as a solvent in the solvent-detergent method for production of immunoglobulin for inactivation of viruses with lipid envelope on the model of duck hepatitis B virus. It is also used as a ligand in the extraction of lanthanide ions from solid and liquid materials by supercritical CO2. References Zubkova, N., et al.: Bull. Exp. Biol.
