Notes: DTPD-Q is an oxidized derivative of the antioxidant and methylphenyl substituted p-phenylenediamine DTPD.{68730} It is an inhibitor of dynamin 1 (IC50 = 273 µM) and reduces clathrin-mediated endocytosis in serum-starved U2OS cells (IC50 = 120 µM). DTPD-Q is less toxic to the aquatic bacterium V. fischeri than DTPD (EC50 = 1.98 mg/L).{72316} It increases intestinal permeability of, and production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in, C. elegans when used at concentrations of 1 or 10 µg/ml.{68731} DTPD-Q has been found in roadway runoff water and roadside soils, indoor dust, as well as consumer products made from recycled tire rubber.{68732,68733,72312}
