Butylhydroxyanisole
Antioxidant
Butylhydroxyanisole (BHA) is a synthetic antioxidant primarily used as a food additive preservative. It plays a significant role in mitigating oxidative stress and has been implicated in various biological activities, including the modulation of liver toxicity and effects on reproductive organ development. Research indicates that BHA can induce ferroptosis, a form of regulated cell death, and may influence neurodevelopmental processes. Its diverse applications in chemical and biological research make it a valuable reagent for studying oxidative stress and related pathways.
