Reaction Steps

Approximately 20 to 40 mg of the test material was weighed into pre-tared sterile glass vials and the precise weight was recorded. Vehicle volume was then calculated to give a 50% w/v solution, and the vehicle was added. Two different vehicles were used, as indicated in Examples. DMSO vehicle was prepared from 100% DMSO (EMD Biosciences Cat. #MX1458-6, Lot #42364321). Transcutol vehicle was prepared from 100% transcutol (Gattefosse a.s.a., Cedex, France). Samples were then vortexed vigorously until the dry powder was visually brought into solution. In some cases, samples need to be briefly warmed to 37° C. Stock solution aliquots can be frozen in small aliquots and maintained at approximately −20° C., or used immediately after preparation. Racemic mixtures of equol were prepared for testing at concentrations of 0 (control), 0.3, 1.0, and 5.0%. A positive control was prepared using ascorbic acid at a concentration of 50 μg/ml in DMEM/F-12. After stock solutions were diluted for use they were then discarded.
