General description
tert-Butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) is a phenolic antioxidant. TBHQ is frequently used as a food preservative. In low concentrations it shows cytoprotective qualities while at higher concentrations it exhibits cytotoxic behavior.
Application
TBHQ was used to study the inactivation of barotolerant strains of Listeria monocytogenes and Escherichia coli. Environment friendly electrode materials for supercapacitors were attained by decorating the surface of graphene nanosheets with TBHQ.

Antimicrobial efficacy of ultra-high-pressure (UHP) can be enhanced by application of additional hurdles. The objective of this study was to systematically assess the enhancement in pressure lethality by TBHQ treatment, against barotolerant strains of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Listeria monocytogenes.

Radiotherapy and chemotherapeutic agents can effectively induce apoptosis through generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Cancer cells frequently express high levels of ROS-scavenging enzymes, which confer resistance to ROS-mediated cell death. Keap1 (Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1) sequesters and promotes the
