Description
Benzophenone-2 (2,2',4,4'-Tetrahydroxybenzophenone) is an endocrine disruptor targeting pregnane X receptor (PXR) and estrogen receptor α (ERα) . Benzophenone-2 regulates cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) expression by activating PXR. Benzophenone-2 is promising for research of UV filters[1][2].
