Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Butylphthalide, also known as 3-n-butylphthalide or NBP, is an antioxidant and one of the chemical constituents in celery oil, along with sedanolide, which is primarily responsible for the aroma and taste of celery. Butylphthalide may be useful for the treatment of hypertension and may have neuroprotective effects. In 2004, NBP was approved in China for the treatment of cerebral ischemia. Minor side effects were observed in preclinical and clinical studies. The minor bioactivation pathway of NBP was proved to be medicated via sulfation of 3-OH-NBP.

Product Data
Biological target:
Butylphthalide(3-n-Butylphthalide) is an anti-cerebral-ischemia drug; first isolated from the seeds of celery, showed efficacy in animal models of stroke.
In vitro activity:
The viability of H9c2 cells treated with different NBP (n-butylphthalide) doses was examined via the CCK-8 colorimetric assay. Compared with the MIRI group, 100 µM NBP increased cell viability (P<0.05; Fig. 1A). Reference: Exp Ther Med. 2021 Sep;22(3):1008. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8311253/
In vivo activity:
Butylphthalide represents a neuroprotective effect after CIRI in rats and used within 24 h of early onset contributes to better prognosis. Reference: Folia Neuropathol. 2021;59(2):131-142. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34284541/
