Description

• General description: Butylated hydroxytoluene is a synthetic phenolic compound mainly used as an antioxidant and preservative in the food industry.[1][2] It is used to prevent the lipid oxidation in oils and fat-containing foods.[3]
• Application: Role of odorant binding protein C12 in the response of Tribolium castaneum to chemical agents.: This article explores the impact of BHT on insect biochemistry, specifically how it affects the binding affinity of odorant-binding proteins in pests, providing insights into developing more effective pest control strategies (Wang et al., 2024). A novel arylpiperazine derivative (LQFM181) protects against neurotoxicity induced by 3-nitropropionic acid in in vitro and in vivo models.: Research includes BHT as a comparative standard in studying neuroprotective agents, underscoring its role in biochemical pathways related to oxidative stress and neuroprotection (Campos et al., 2024). Simultaneous Determination of Fipronil, Permethrin and their Key Related Substances in a Topical Drug Product by a Single Stability Indicating High Performance Liquid Chromatography Method.: BHT is used as an internal standard to assess the stability and integrity of pharmaceutical products, demonstrating its utility in pharmaceutical analysis (Rathnasekara et al., 2024). Pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole fused spirooxindole-linked 1,2,3-triazoles as antioxidant agents: Exploring their utility in the development of antidiabetic drugs via inhibition of a-amylase and DPP4 activity.: This study utilizes BHT as a reference antioxidant to compare the efficacy of newly synthesized compounds, providing a benchmark in antioxidant research for diabetes treatment (Chahal et al., 2024).
