Product Description: Oxybenzone-d5 is the deuterium labeled Oxybenzone[1]. 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[2][3][4].
Applications: Neuroscience-Neurodegeneration
Formula: C14H7D5O3
