Biological Activity

Description Butylparaben (Butyl parahydroxybenzoate, Butyl 4-hydroxybenzoate) is a chemical compound commonly used as an antifungal preservative in cosmetic products.
In vitro
In vitro After butylparaben treatment, vimentin filaments in Sertolicells are disrupted. Sertoli cell cytoskeleton responds to butylparaben by exhibiting a marked collapse in vimentin filaments distribution[1].
Cell Research Cell lines Primary Sertoli cell
Concentrations 0, 1, 100 and 1000 nmol/ml
Incubation Time 6, 24h
Method

Mixed cultures of Sertoli and spermatogenic cells are prepared from three-week-old SD rats. Single cells are obtained by gravity sedimentation and use of 50% trypsin-EDTA. Cells are finally suspended at a concentration of 1 × 108cell/ml and maintained for 24 h in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle medium supplemented with 100 U/ml penicillin, 100 μg/ml streptomycin, and 10% fetal bovineserum. Thereafter, cells are maintained in serum-freemedium, which is changed every 24 h. At 72 h, spermatogenic cells are removed by treatment with hypotonic Tris buffer (20 mMTris–HCl, pH 7.4) for 5 min. The Sertoli cell-enriched cultures obtained are then maintained in serum-free medium for 24 h before being reseeded onto chamber slides. The samples are cultured for a further 5 days. Subsequently, they are exposed to 0, 1, 100 and 1000 nmol/ml butylparaben for 6 and 24 h. Some slides are stained with 0.5% toluidine blue for light microscopic observations, whereas the rest are used for vimentin immuno-histochemical analysis.
In Vivo
In vivo Butylparaben induces collapse of Sertoli cell vimentin filaments in vivo[1]. Exposure of a postweaning mammal to butylparaben had an adverse effect on the secretion of testosterone and in the functions of the male reproductive system[2].
Animal Research Animal Models Male Sprague–Dawley rats
Dosages 1000 mg/kg
Administration oral administration

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
