エストロン

化学的特性Estrone is an odorless white crystalline powder.Estrone is supplied as a crystalline solid. A stock solution may be made by dissolving the estrone in an organic solvent purged with an inert gas. Estrone is soluble in organic solvents such as DMSO and dimethyl formamide (DMF). The solubility of estrone in these solvents is approximately 20 mg/ml.Estrone is sparingly soluble in aqueous buffers. For maximum solubility in aqueous buffers, estrone should first be dissolved in DMF and then diluted with the aqueous buffer of choice. Estrone has a solubility of approximately 0.15 mg/ml in a1:5 solution of DMF:PBS (pH 7.2) using this method. We do not recommend storing the aqueous solution for more than one day.

説明Estrone is one of the three naturally occurring estrogens, the others being estradiol and estriol. Estrone is synthesized from androstenedione by the aromatase enzyme system in the ovaries and placenta, and is also synthesized from estradiol by 17-hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase in the liver.Serum concentrations of estrone in premenopausal women fluctuate according to the menstrual cycle and becomes the most predominant estrogen in postmenopausal women.The binding affinities of estrone to the estrogen receptors α and β are approximately 60% and 37% relative to estradiol.

使用Estrone is a metabolite of 17β-Estradiol (E888000). During the metabolism, it is in rapid equilibrium with Estriol (E888960) and 17β-Estradiol (E888000) (1). Causes the feminization of male fish at human and animal waste sites (2). This compound is a contaminant of emerging concern (CECs). Drinking water contaminant candidate list 3 (CCL 3) compound as per United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), environmental, and food contaminants.

一般的な説明Estrone, 3-hydroxyestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-one, is less active than estradiol but more active than itsmetabolite, estriol. As the salt of its 3-sulfate ester, estroneis the primary ingredient in conjugated estrogens, USP, andesterified estrogens, USP. Although originally obtainedfrom the urine of pregnant mares (about 10 mg/L), estroneis now prepared synthetically. Estrone itself is not availablein commercial oral formulations, but can be obtained at compounding pharmacies as a topical formulation. Oleoylestrone,the C3 ester of estrone with oleic acid, is in phase IIclinical trials for the treatment of obesity. This acyl estronederivative reduces fat stores by a mechanism not involvingthe ER, although some of the oleoyl-estrone is hydrolyzedto estrone in vivo.

純化方法Purify estrone by chromatography on silica gel, eluting with 2:1 hexane/EtOAc and recrystallising from EtOH or Et2O/EtOH. [Danishefsky & Cain J Am Chem Soc 98 4975 1976.] The acetate [901-93-9] crystallises from EtOH with m 125-127o. [Beilstein 8 III 1171.]
