4-Methylbenzylidene camphor (Standard)

4-Methylbenzylidene camphor (Standard) is the analytical standard of 4-Methylbenzylidene camphor. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. 4-Methylbenzylidene camphor (4-MBC) is an endocrine disrupter that produces estrogen-like effects. 4-Methylbenzylidene camphor decreases the proliferation of human trophoblast cells and induces apoptosis. 4-Methylbenzylidene camphor activates PI3K/AKT and ERK1/2 signaling pathways and elevates intracellular ROS production. 4-Methylbenzylidene camphor is a ultraviolet (UV) filter and may hamper normal placental formation during early pregnancy[1][2].
