Description: Nonylphenols are a family of closely related organic compounds composed of phenol bearing a 9 carbon-tail. Nonylphenols can come in numerous structures, all of which may be considered alkylphenols. They are used in manufacturing antioxidants, lubricating oil additives, laundry and dish detergents, emulsifiers, and solubilizers. They are used extensively in epoxy formulation in North America but its use has been phased out in Europe. These compounds are also precursors to the commercially important non-ionic surfactants alkylphenol ethoxylates and nonylphenol ethoxylates, which are used in detergents, paints, pesticides, personal care products, and plastics. Nonylphenol has attracted attention due to its prevalence in the environment and its potential role as an endocrine disruptor and xenoestrogen, due to its ability to act with estrogen-like activity. The estrogenicity and biodegradation heavily depends on the branching of the nonyl sidechain. Nonylphenol has been found to act as an agonist of the GPER (GPR30).

Safety Data Sheet (SDS):
Biological target: Nonylphenol has been found to act as an agonist of the GPER (GPR30).
In vitro activity: In this study, the effects of NPEO, VAEO, 4-n-NP and Vanillin on the estrogen receptor α (ERα), androgen receptor (AR), thyroid hormone receptor (TR), retinoic X receptor β (RXRβ) and estrogen-related receptor γ (ERRγ) were determined and compared using a battery of recombined yeast strains expressing β-galactosidase. The results showed that NPEO and 4-n-NP acted as significant antagonists of ER, AR, TR and ERRγ. In addition, 4-n-NP also had antagonistic activity toward RXRβ. The in vitro data indicated that NPEO, 4-n-NP and VAEO have the potential to act as endocrine disruptors involving more than one nuclear hormone receptor. Reference: Ecotoxicol Environ Saf. 2019 Jul 15;175:208-214. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30901638/
In vivo activity: After a 20-week 4-n-NP treatment orally at the dosage of 10 and 50 muM in the drinking water, phenylephrine- and potassium chloride-induced concentration-dependent responsiveness assessed by wire myograph were both significantly higher in aorta isolated from 4-n-NP-treated rats compared with control rats, but acetylcholine-induced vasorelaxation was similar between these two groups. In addition, systemic oxidative stress and vascular, but not intestinal, oxidant enzyme activities assessed by lucigenin-amplified chemiluminescence were all markedly higher in 4-n-NP-treated rats. In conclusion, the results suggested that chronic in vivo 4-n-NP exposure augments vascular contractile responsiveness through enhanced vascular oxidant enzyme activity.
