Description

2-tert-Butyl-1H-1,3-benzodiazole (2TBDB) is a methylating agent that belongs to the group of imidazoles. It has been shown to be reactive with both inorganic and organic compounds. 2TBDB can be given orally and has been shown to cause structural changes in the conformation of proteins. Reactive forms of 2TBDB are converted by cytochrome P450 enzymes into pyrazoles, which have been found to inhibit the production of TNF-α induced by lipopolysaccharides (LPS). Pyrazoles such as 2TBDB may also act as hydroxamic acid analogues and act as bond cleavage agents. This mechanism may be responsible for their anti-inflammatory properties. 2TBDB has also been shown to inhibit the production of TNF-α in response to LPS in mice, which may be due to its ability to inhibit TNF-α binding to
