Description

2,5-Di-tert-butylhydroquinone is a potent inhibitor of the two major phospholipases that regulate intracellular Ca2+ levels. It also inhibits epidermal growth factor (EGF) production in rat liver microsomes, and has been shown to inhibit the activity of cytosolic Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CAMKII), which regulates cell proliferation. 2,5-Di-tert-butylhydroquinone has also been shown to be a potent inducer of monoclonal antibody production in mice and is used as an adjuvant for the treatment of prostate cancer cells. This compound is metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes in liver cells and cardiac cells.
