The higher yields of the nine title compounds were achieved due to adding p-t-butylphenol in the reaction system which could significantly avoid formation of anthraquinone, the main by-product of the reaction, leading a troublesome procedure for product purification.展开更多

The nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 （Nrf2） is a pivotal coordinator of cellular defensive responses against chemical insults in many tissues including bone marrow. In the present study, the effects of tert-butylhydroquinone （tBHQ） on the expression of Nrf2-regulated genes in peripheral blood cells and cyclophosphamide （CTX）-induced hematotoxicity in mice were investigated. CTX induced apoptosis of peripheral blood nucleated cells and leukopenia in mice, accompanied by mobilization of bone marrow hematopoietic cells, tBHQ treatment induced the expression of Nrf2-regulated genes such as heine oxygenase 1 （HO1） and glutamate-cysteine ligase catalytic subtmit （GCLC） in RAW264.7 mouse macrophage cells and peripheral blood cells both in vitro and in vivo. Interestingly, pretreatment with tBHQ alleviated CTX-induced mouse peripheral blood cell apoptosis and leukopenia in vivo, indicating possible involvement of Nrf2 in the protection against CTX-induced hematotoxicity. This study provides new information on the chemotherapy-induced hematotoxicity, and suggests Nrf2 could serve as a target for the development of chemoprotectants against hematotoxicity.展开更多
