Product Description

Acolbifene (also known as EM-652 and SCH-57068) is a novel, potent and selective estrogen receptor modulator/antatonist (SERM) with a IC50 value of 22±3 nM. Research is currently being done on acolbifene's potential to prevent breast cancer in women who are at high risk of developing the disease. EM-800 (SCH57050) and EM-652 (SCH 57068), the prodrug, which together have the highest known antiestrogen potency. The substance that has the strongest affinity for the estrogen receptor—including estradiol—is EM-652. Compared to ICI 182780, hydroxytamoxifen, raloxifene, droloxifene, and hydroxytoremifene, it has a higher affinity for the ER. Out of all the antiestrogens tested, EM-652 exhibited the strongest inhibitory activity on both ER alpha and ER beta. Additionally, EM-652 was the most effective inhibitor of the percentage of cancer cells that cycled.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)

Targets	ERα (IC50 = 2 nM); ERβ (IC50 =0.4 nM)
ln Vitro	Acolbifene (ACOL) does not alter the pathways through which cholesterol is synthesised, indicating that its hypocholesterolemic action is mediated by clearance-related receptors[2]. Acolbifene (EM-652) exhibits no agonistic activity on the transcriptional function of ERα and ERβ and inhibits the activation of both ERα and ERβ mediated by estradiol (E2)[3]. Acolbifene (EM-652) is devoid of intrinsic estrogenic activity and exhibits the strongest suppression of estradiol-stimulated cell proliferation in human breast cancer cells (ZR-75-1, MCF-7, T-47D)[4].
ln Vivo	Acolbifene (ACOL) decreases food consumption and dramatically lowers cholesterol in rats given a cholesterol-free diet[2]. Acolbifene (ACOL) decreases food consumption (16%) and weight gain (45%, mostly fat) in both dietary cohorts in a comparable way[2].
Animal Protocol	Female Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 42) initially weighing 175-200 g[2]. 2.5 mg/kg. Oral gavage, once daily for 21 d.
