Mestranol is an inactive proagent and becomes biologically active on conversion to ethinyl estradiol (EE). Mestranol acts as an estrogen receptor agonist. Mestranol combines with a progestin in vivo and can be used for the research of menopausal hormone or menstrual disorders. Mestranol is a click chemistry reagent, it contains an Alkyne group and can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) with molecules containing Azide groups.

Description

Mestranol is an inactive proagent and becomes biologically active on conversion to ethinyl estradiol (EE). Mestranol acts as an estrogen receptor agonist. Mestranol combines with a progestin in vivo and can be used for the research of menopausal hormone or menstrual disorders. Mestranol is a click chemistry reagent, it contains an Alkyne group and can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) with molecules containing Azide groups.

In Vitro

Mestranol is a low potency synthetic estrogen that has been shown to be much more stable than 17β-Estradiol(HY-B0141) in hepatoma cell culture[3].
Mestranol (10 μM; 6 days) stimulates the growth of ERpositive MCF-7 WS8 cells up to 250% of control levels, growth stimulation could be partially reversed by tamoxifen[3].
However, in Hep G2 hepatoma cells, Mestranol (10 μM; 6 days) inhibits the growth of Hep 3B cells by 40% compared to control cells. Mestranol alone or cotreatment with tamoxifen both can inhibit cell growth. And cotreatment exhibits an additive effect with tamoxifen on growth inhibition[2].

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    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (6.70 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.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (6.70 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

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.
