Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Ospemifene is an oral medication indicated for the treatment of dyspareunia – pain during sexual intercourse – encountered by some women, more often in those who are post-menopausal. Ospemifene is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) acting similarly to an estrogen on the vaginal epithelium, building vaginal wall thickness which in turn reduces the pain associated with dyspareunia. Dyspareunia is most commonly caused by "vulval and vaginal atrophy." The medication was approved by the FDA in February 2013. (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ospemifene)

Product Data
Biological target:
Ospemifene is a non-estrogen selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), with Kis of 380 and 410 nM for estrogen receptor α (ERα) and Erβ.
In vitro activity:
Osp (ospemifene), similar to Ral and Tam, decreased the number of proliferating cells in a concentration-dependent manner (at 100 nM, P < 0.01) and strongly opposed 10 nM E2-stimulated proliferation (P < 0.001). Corresponding effects were observed in the proportions of cells expressing ERα and TFF1 (P < 0.001). At 14 days apoptosis was increased by 100 nM SERMs (P < 0.01), but, notably, decreased by 1 nM Osp and Ral at day 7 (P < 0.05). Reference: Menopause. 2016 Jul;23(7):719-30. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27163517/
In vivo activity:
Ospemifene treatment reduced the loss of bone mineral content and density observed in untreated OVX rats, significantly increased distal femur bone mineral content at 51 weeks at 25 mg/kg dose compared with untreated OVX rats (p<0.01), and significantly increased trabecular bone mineral density of the distal femur and proximal tibia with 1, 5, or 25 mg/kg doses after 52 weeks. Ospemifene 5 and 25 mg/kg preserved distal femur trabecular structure; trabecular number was significantly increased, whereas trabecular separation and eroded surface values were significantly decreased (all p<0.01).

Note: There can be variations in solubility for the same chemical from different vendors or different batches from the same vendor. The following factors can affect the solubility of the same chemical: solvent used for crystallization, residual solvent content, polymorphism, salt versus free form, degree of hydration, solvent temperature. Please use the solubility data as a reference only. Warming and sonication will facilitate dissolving. Still have questions? Please contact our Technical Support scientists.
