Description

4-Hydroxytamoxifen ((Z)-4-Hydroxytamoxifen) is an orally active, selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM). 4-Hydroxytamoxifen ((Z)-4-Hydroxytamoxifen) induces CRISPR/Cas9 systems based on ER mediated nucleus translocation[1][2][3][4].

IC50 & Target[1][2]

Estrogen receptor

3.3 nM (IC50)

CRISPR/Cas9

 

In Vitro

4-Hydroxytamoxifen (Monohydroxytamoxifen) is a selective ostrogen receptor antagonist, with an IC50 of 3.3 nM for the [3H]oestradiol binding to oestrogen receptor. 4-Hydroxytamoxifen (10, 100 nM) enables to inhibit the binding of [3H]oestradiol to the human 8 S oestrogen receptor[1].
4-Hydroxytamoxifen activates intein-linked inactive Cas9, reduces off-target CRISPR-mediated gene editing. In human cells, conditionally active Cas9s modify target genomic sites with up to 25-fold higher specificity than wild-type Cas9[2].

In Vivo

4-Hydroxytamoxifen (0.2, 1 and 5 μg/day, p.o.) causes a dose-related decrease in uterine wet weight of immature rats[1].
4-Hydroxytamoxifen (6 μg/0.1 mL sesame oil/day, s.c.) effectively attenuates methamphetamine-induced nigrostriatal dopamine depletions in bothsexes of intact and gonadectomized C57BL/6 J mice. 4-Hydroxytamoxifen does not alter the dopamine content levels in the striatum[3].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (5.37 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (5.37 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  50% PEG300    50% Saline

    Solubility: 5 mg/mL (12.90 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

Kinase Assay
[1]

Cytosol (200 μL) is incubated for 30 min at 4°C with different concentrations of oestradiol, tamoxifen and (4-Hydroxytamoxifen) or dihydroxytamoxifen administered in 10 μL methanol. Control tubes are incubated with 10 μL methanol alone and non-specific binding is determined in a parallel incubation of cytosol (200 μL) with methanol (10 μL) containing DES (5 × 106 M). [2,4,6,7-3H]Oestradiol solution (50 μL) in TED buffer is added to each tube to give a final concentration of 2 × 10-9 M. Incubation is continued for 4 h (4°C) and then 400 μL of a suspension of dextran-coated charcoal (250 mg % Norit A, 2.5 mg % dextran) in TED buffer are added and allowed to stand for 20 min. Tubes are centrifuged at 800 g for 10 min (4°C) and 400 μL samples of the supernatant are added to 10 mL tritium scintillator (6 g butyl PBD, 135 mL toluene, 720 ml dioxan, 100 g naphthalene, 45 mL absolute methanol). Samples are counted for 10 min in a liquid scintillation spectrometer. Counting efficiency is determined by external standardization (35-36 %). Results are represented as a percentage of the specifically bound radioactivity (c.p.m.) in the control tubes[1].

Animal Administration
[3]

Mice[3]
Animals of each sex are divided into two groups: one group receives 4-Hydroxytamoxifen [6 μg/0.1 mL sesame oil/day, subcutaneously (s.c.) starting at 06.00 h] injections for three consecutive days, while the other group receives an equivalent amount of sesame oil injection for 3 days. Four hours following the third injection, each group is then subdivided into two groups: one receives four cumulative doses of methamphetamine hydrochloride (10 mg/kg, s.c.), and the other receives a comparable volume of saline at 2-h intervals. Bilateral gonadectomy is performed under pentobarbital anesthesia (50 mg/kg, intraperitoneally). Five weeks after surgery,gonadectomized mice of each sex are randomly divided into six groups. Five groups of each sex receive three daily injections ofvarious concentrations of 4-Hydroxytamoxifen (0, 1.5, 3.0, 6.0, and 12.0 μg/0.1 mL sesame oil/day). Four hours following the third injection, mice receive four doses of methamphetamine (MA, 10 mg/kg) at 2-h intervals. The remaining group of each sex receives sesame oil pretreatment for three consecutive days, followed by saline injections, and serves as the control group[3].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
