Acetylhydroquinone

SKU: orb1222180

Description

2, 5-Dihydroxyacetophenone possess anti-anxiety, and neuroprotective qualities. 2, 5-Dihydroxyacetophenone treatment can induce a sustained activation of JNK, ERK1/2, and p38 MAPKs, it also can potentiate the pro-apoptotic and anti-proliferative effects of bortezomib in U266 cells. 2, 5-Dihydroxyacetophenone has anti-inflammatory activity in activated macrophages, raising the possibility that this compound has a therapeutic potential for inflammatory conditions. 2, 5-Dihydroxyacetophenone is an uncompetitive inhibitor of murine tyrosinase (K(I) 0.28mm), it strongly inhibits both melanogenesis and cellular tyrosinase activity in vitro in 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthin-stimulated B16 mouse melanoma cells or in vivo in zebrafish and mouse models.

Bioactivity

• In Vitro:
  2, 5-Dihydroxyacetophenone significantly inhibits NO production via the suppression of iNOS expression and significantly decreases levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-6 via the down-regulation of their mRNA expression in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. 2, 5-Dihydroxyacetophenone potently inhibits the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK) 1/2 and the nuclear translocation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) p65 in LPS-stimulated cells.
