Single oral doses of the haemorrhagic antioxidant 2,4,6-tri-t-butylphenol (260 mg/kg) were well absorbed in the rat. Peak blood levels of this compound were reached in 15-60 min. The blood elimination half-lives were 18.2 min for the alpha-phase and 11.8 h

An analytical method has been developed for the determination of 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenol (TTBP) in foods. TTBP was determined by GC/MS (SIM) after extraction from food samples using a steam distillation technique. The developed method was able to determine simultaneously 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol (2,4-DTBP)

Lipoxygenases are mononuclear non-heme iron enzymes that regio- and stereospecifcally convert 1,4-pentadiene subunit-containing fatty acids into alkyl peroxides. The rate-determining step is generally accepted to be hydrogen atom abstraction from the pentadiene subunit of the substrate by an active ferric

To clarify the mechanism of phenol toxicity, the radical-scavenging activity of 2- or 2,6-di-tert-butyl- and 2-methoxy-substituted phenols was investigated by combining two distinct approaches: first, the induction period method for methacrylate polymerization initiated by benzoyl peroxide or 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile; and secondly

13-Hydroperoxyoctadeca-9,11,15-trienoic acid was reacted with a catalytic amount of 5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-21H,23H-porphyrin iron(III) chloride in dichloromethane containing 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenol. The principal products were identified as 13-oxooctadeca-9,11,15-trienoic acid, 13-oxotrideca-9,11-dienoic acid, and a series of isomeric epoxyaryl ethers [9-(2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenoxy)-12,13-epoxyoctadec-10-enoic acids and 11-(2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenoxy)-12,13-epoxyoctadec-9-enoic acids].
