| In vitro |
Hexestrol binds to ERα with EC50 of 0.07 nM and to ERβ with EC50 of 0.175 nM. [1] Hexestrol inhibits activity of AKR1B13 with IC50 of 3.2 μM. [2] Hexestrol inhibits the d-galactose dehydrogenase activity of thermophilus aldose 1-dehydrogenase with IC50 of 0.063 mM. [3] Hexestrol inhibits the dehydrogenase activity of AKR1C20 towards 10 μM 4-androsten-3α-o1-17-one with IC50 values of 2.7 μM. [4] Hexestrol inhibits 17HSD5 with IC50 of 30 μM, and inhibits TBER1 with IC50 of 0.8 μM. [5] Hexestrol reacts with DNA through the catechol quinone, thus can be a carcinogen. [6] |

| In vivo | Hexestrol administered intraperitoneally at dose of 6 mg/kg may decrease ovulation in mice, as evident by smaller ovaries and decreased luteal bodies and oocytes. [7] |

1.Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2.Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
Bio Calculators
Molarity Calculator
Calculate the mass, volume or concentration required for a solution. The Selleck molarity calculator is based on the following equation:
Mass (mg) = Concentration (mM) × Volume (mL) × Molecular Weight (g/mol)
*When preparing stock solutions, please always use the batch-specific molecular weight of the product found on the via label and MSDS / COA (available on product pages).
Dilution Calculator
Calculate the dilution required to prepare a stock solution. The Selleck dilution calculator is based on the following equation:
Concentration (start) x Volume (start) = Concentration (final) x Volume (final)
This equation is commonly abbreviated as: C1V1 = C2V2 ( Input Output )
* When preparing stock solutions always use the batch-specific molecular weight of the product found on the vial label and MSDS / COA (available online).

Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
Molecular mass (molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
