Description

(R)-Equol is an agonist of both ERα and ERβ with Kis of 27.4 and 15.4 nM, respectively.

IC50 & Target

Ki: 27.4 nM (ERα), 15.4 nM (ERβ)[1]
In Vitro

(R)-Equol is an agonist of both ERα and ERβ with Kis of 27.4 and 15.4 nM, respectively[1]. (R)-Equol induces a dose-dependent inhibitory effect on the invasive capacity of MDA-MB-231 cells that is significant at the highest concentration tested (50 μM). Following 48-h exposure to (R)-Equol, invasion is reduced by 62% (p=0.009, versus untreated cells) with 50 μM (R)-Equol. Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) expression is significantly down-regulated following treatment with 50 μM (R)-Equol (p=0.035)[2].

(R)-Equol Related Antibodies
In Vivo

Animals fed (R)-Equol have a significantly reduced number of palpable tumors over time when compare with Controls (P=0.002). Furthermore, the number of palpable tumors formed per rat in the (R)-Equol-fed group is significantly lower than that of rats treated with S-(-)equol (P=0.008). (R)-Equol-fed animals have 43% fewer tumors than the control group and this difference is highly statistically significant (P=0.004). The number of tumors/tumor-bearing animal is significantly lower in the animals fed (R)-Equol compare with Controls (3.3±0.4 versus 5.5±0.5, P=0.004). At necropsy, the mean (±SEM) tumor weight per animal for (R)-Equol fed rats (5.3±1.1 mg) is significantly reduced (P=0.04) when compare with Controls (9.9±1.4 mg). Feeding the (R)-Equol diet results in significantly increased tumor latency (P=0.003)[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:  50% PEG400    50% Saline

    Solubility: 10 mg/mL (41.28 mM); Clear solution; Need ultrasonic

  • Protocol 2

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

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (10.32 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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.

Cell Assay
[2]

Cell viability is determined using the well-established MTT assay. Cells are seeded (1.25×105 cells/mL) in 96-well plates in experimental medium (100 μL/well) and incubated for 48 h at 37°C in a 95 % air/5 % CO2 humidified atmosphere. Medium is then replaced with fresh medium containing (R)-Equol (R-equol) (2.5, 10 or 50 μM) or DMSO only as a control. Following 48-h incubation, cell viability is assessed[2].

MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Animal Administration
[3]

To investigate the chemopreventive effects of dietary (R)-Equol against chemically induced mammary cancer, female Sprague-Dawley rats bred in-house are fed a soy-free AIN-93G diet from birth to 35 days of age, then separated into different groups. Group 1 (Control group, n=40) continues on this diet, whereas the other group of animals are fed the AIN-93G diet supplemented with 250 mg/kg of (R)-Equol (Group 3, n=41) beginning on day 35 until killing on day 190[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.
