Bioactivity Oxybenzone (Benzophenone 3) is a commonly used UV filter in sun tans and skin protectants. Oxybenzone act as endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and can pass through the placental and blood-brain barriers. Benzophenone-3 impairs autophagy, alters epigenetic status, and disrupts retinoid X receptor signaling in apoptotic neuronal cells[1][2][3].
Invitro Oxybenzone (Benzophenone 3) (25 μM; 24 hours) decreases the relative RXRβ and RXRγ protein levels by 61 and 56%, respectively and increases the relative RXRα protein level by 49%[3].Oxybenzone (25-100 μM; 24 hours) induces an increase in caspase-3 levels in primary cultures of mouse neocortical cells at 7 DIV. Oxybenzone-induced apoptosis involves the activation of RXRα signaling and the impairment of RXRβ/RXRγ signaling. Oxybenzone (25 μM; 24 hours) inhibits global DNA methylation as well as reduced HDAC and HAT activities in mouse embryonic neuronal cells[3]. Western Blot Analysis[3] Cell Line:
