General description
The voltammetric behavior of 3-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole at a polymer electrode modified with nickel phthalocyanine (as electron mediator) was studied.
Application
- Regulation of Smad signaling in mesenchymal stem cells: 3-tert-Butyl-4-hydroxyanisole disrupts the differentiation of C3H10T1/2 mesenchymal stem cells into brown adipocytes by modulating Smad signaling pathways, with potential implications for obesity and metabolic syndrome research (Wang et al., 2023).

3-Tert-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole (3-BHA) was metabolized in the presence of horseradish peroxidase and hydrogen peroxide to 2-tert-butyl-p-benzoquinone (TBQ), 2,3-epoxy-5-tert-butyl-1,4-benzoquinone (TBQ-epoxide), and two known dimers. The formation of TBQ from 3-BHA required both horseradish peroxidase and hydrogen peroxide. When 2.5 mM 3-BHA was
