Product Information

• Name: 2,4-Di-tert-butylphenol
• Synonyms: 2,4-Bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)phenol1-Hydroxy-2,4-di-tert-butylbenzene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2,4-Di-tert-butylphenol (2,4-DBP) is a phenolic compound that can be synthesized from diphenols. It has been shown to have antimicrobial activity against human pathogens and to inhibit the infectivity of several viruses. 2,4-DBP has also been shown to inhibit the growth of tumor cells in mice by interfering with the production of effector proteins such as cytokines and chemokines. 2,4-DBP may act by inhibiting the activity of enzymes in its target cell line or by binding directly to its target protein. The molecular docking analysis suggests that 2,4-DBP binds to a pocket on the enzyme's surface that is involved in catalysis. This binding leads to a disturbance of the catalytic machinery and inhibits enzymatic activity.
