Product Data
Biological target:
Estradiol Benzoate (β-Estradiol 3-benzoate), a prodrug of estradiol, acts as a steroid sex hormone.
In vitro activity:
Estradiol benzoate stimulated cell growth in a time- and dose-dependent manner and the effect was attenuated by the antiestrogen ICI 182780. Reference: Zhonghua Fu Chan Ke Za Zhi. 2005 Nov;40(11):747-51. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16324248/
In vivo activity:
The EB treatment showed protection against neurotoxicity induced with MPP+, this could be due to EB capacity to prevent the increase in the expression level of proinflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-1 and IL-6 induced by MPP+. While, TGF-β1 and TGF-β3 expression was reduced in the rats treated only with MPP+, in the rats of EB/M group the expression of both cytokines was increased. EB protective effect against MPP+ neurotoxicity is related to antioxidant effect of PON2, pro-inflammatory cytokines and GSHR but not to SOD2, catalase, GPX1 or GPX4.
