| 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] |

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.
