Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH₂O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 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.

Mechanism of Action

Features	Much higher ERβ binding selectivity than Erα.
Targets/IC₅₀/Ki	ERα ^[1] 0.07 nM(EC50) ERβ ^[1] 0.175 nM(EC50)
In vitro	Hexestrol binds to ERα with EC50 of 0.07 nM and to ERβ with EC50 of 0.175 nM. ^[1] This compound inhibits activity of AKR1B13 with IC50 of 3.2 μM. ^[2] It inhibits the d-galactose dehydrogenase activity of thermophilus aldose 1-dehydrogenase with IC50 of 0.063 mM. ^[3] This chemical inhibits the dehydrogenase activity of AKR1C20 towards 10 μM 4-androsten-3α-o1-17-one with IC50 values of 2.7 μM. ^[4] It inhibits 17HSD5 with IC50 of 30 μM, and inhibits TBER1 with IC50 of 0.8 μM. ^[5] This compound reacts with DNA through the catechol quinone, thus can be a carcinogen. ^[6]
In vivo	Hexestrol administered intraperitoneally at a dose of 6 mg/kg may decrease ovulation in mice, as evident by smaller ovaries and decreased luteal bodies and oocytes. ^[7]
