Biological Activity

Description Oxybenzone is a benzophenone derivative used as a sunscreen agent.
In vitro
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].
Cell Research Cell lines Human embryo palatal mesenchyme cells
Concentrations 0.01-50 μM
Incubation Time 24 h
Method

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.
In Vivo
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].

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
