Tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ; CAS 1948-33-0) is a synthetic aromatic compound structurally characterized by a phenylpropanoid framework. TBHQ functions primarily as an antioxidant, where it inhibits the peroxidation of lipids by scavenging free radicals and stabilizing cell membranes. Beyond its established role in food preservation, TBHQ is widely utilized in biomedical research to investigate oxidative stress responses and cellular defense mechanisms. Its modulatory effects on signaling pathways, such as Nrf2-mediated transcription, underscore its value in studies related to redox biology and cytoprotection.
