Biological Activity

1,4-Dichlorobenzene is a chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbon widely used as a disinfectant, pesticide, and deodorant. In preclinical toxicological studies, 1,4-dichlorobenzene exposure induces specific nephrotoxicity in male rodents characterized by the excessive accumulation of alpha 2u-globulin within renal proximal tubule cells. This protein accumulation promotes sustained cellular damage and enhanced tubular epithelial cell proliferation. [1]

Solubility

Batch:
All in vitro solubility values are batch-tested experimental data (non-literature values).
Solvent Solubility & Note
DMSO 29 mg/mL (197.27 mM)
(Moisture-contaminated DMSO may reduce solubility. Use fresh, anhydrous DMSO. The recommended stock concentration is 10 mM in DMSO.)
FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
