Description of Butylhydroxyanisole (Butylated hydroxyanisole)

Butylhydroxyanisole (Butylated hydroxyanisole) is a phenolic food additive with antioxidant properties[1]. Butylhydroxyanisole is a potential ERα ligand that possesses the structural elements necessary for interaction with the ERα binding domain, and the structural elements include a para-phenolic hydroxyl group, which mimics the structure of E2, and an aromatic ring, and the aromatic ring serves as a hydrogen bond donor to form a hydrogen bond with the carboxyl group of Glu353, and as a hydrogen bond acceptor to form a hydrogen bond with the guanidino group of Arg394, thereby exerting estrogenic activation effects[2]. Butylhydroxyanisole is usually applied in oils, fats and oleaginous foods to prevent oils and fats, especially ones with highly unsaturated fatty acids, from being oxidized[3].

In vitro, Butylhydroxyanisole dose- and time-dependently decreased the growth of A549 cells with IC50 values of 550μM, 400μM, and 300μM at 24, 48, and 72h, respectively[4]. 100μM Butylhydroxyanisole pretreatment for 30 minutes on L929sAhFas cells reduced TNF-α-induced cell necrosis and decreased ROS levels[5]. 200μM Butylhydroxyanisole treatment for 24 hours induced apoptosis in HeLa cells, accompanied by the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and activation of caspase[6].

In vivo, Butylhydroxyanisole treatment via oral administration at a dose of 500mg/kg/day for 7 weeks induced reproductive system dysfunction and developmental abnormalities, as well as histological lesions in the thyroid gland, in male Sprague-Dawley rats[7]. Oral administration of Butylhydroxyanisole at a dose of 200mg/kg/day for 3 weeks enhanced the levels of CD3 (T cells) and decreased the level of CD19 (B cells) in BALB/c mice[8].

Protocol of Butylhydroxyanisole (Butylated hydroxyanisole)

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

A549 cells

Preparation Method

A549 cells were cultivated in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 100μg/ml streptomycin, 100μg/ml penicillin and 10% fetal bovine serum at 37°C in an incubator with 5% CO2. A549 cells (2×103/well) were seeded in the 96-well plates and cultured overnight followed by treatment with different concentrations of Butylhydroxyanisole (0, 0.1, 1, 10, 100, and 1000μM) for 72h. Cells viability was measured.

Reaction Conditions

0, 0.1, 1, 10, 100, and 1000μM; 72h

Applications

Butylhydroxyanisole reduced cell viability of A549 cells in a dose-dependent manner.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Male BALB/c mice

Preparation Method

Male BALB/c mice (8 weeks old; 22-28g) were housed individually in specific cages and placed in a ventilated cabinet, temperature was kept relatively constant at 22°C (±3°C) and humidity between 50 and 70%, and the lighting was controlled to be 12h light and 12h dark. BALB/c mice were randomly divided into 3 groups to receive different treatments. Group I served as a control (n=10). Group II mice were treated with olive oil as vehicle (n=10). Group III mice were treated with BHA (200mg/kg) in olive oil (n=10). Butylhydroxyanisole was administered by oral gavage to the treatment groups daily for up to 3 weeks. At the end of treatment, the mice were weighed and blood was withdrawn, and spleen samples were isolated for analysis.

Dosage form

200mg/kg/day; 3 weeks; p.o.

Applications

Butylhydroxyanisole treatment promoted immune responses by increasing T cells and activating phagocytosis by macrophages in mice, without affecting the weight of the body and spleen.
