TBHQ (Standard)

TBHQ (Standard) is the analytical standard of TBHQ. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. TBHQ (tert-Butylhydroquinone) is a widely used Nrf2 activator, protects against Doxorubicin (DOX) -induced cardiotoxicity through activation of Nrf2[1]. TBHQ (tert-Butylhydroquinone) is also an ERK activator; rescues Dehydrocorydaline (DHC) -induced cell proliferation inhibitionin melanoma[2].
