Description

6-tert-Butyl-2,4-xylenol is an analytical method for the detection of clinical drugs. It is used to measure levels of lung damage caused by allergens and to study chemical stability. 6-tert-Butyl-2,4-xylenol also has been shown to enhance reactions between nitrogen nucleophiles and fatty acids in rat liver microsomes. This chemical is not reactive with calcium stearate or magnetic resonance spectroscopy, but can react with fatty acids to form a variety of products that are detectable by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. 6-tert-Butyl-2,4-xylenol has been found to be a major allergen in some people and can cause allergic reactions in humans. It may also be metabolized into fatty acid metabolites through the cytochrome P450 system that may contribute to its toxicity.
