Estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) (Relative Binding Affinity (RBA) = 0.25% compared to estradiol)
Estrogen receptor beta (ERβ) (RBA = 18% compared to estradiol; β/α selectivity = 72-fold; Transcriptional EC50 for ERβ = 0.85 nM, for ERα = 66 nM; β/α potency selectivity = 78-fold) [1] |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
DPN is a full ERα agonist with 78-fold selectivity for ERα potency (EC50 for ERβ=0.85 nM; EC50 for ERα=66 nM) and a 70-fold relative binding affinity selectivity for ERα [1]. In cultured cortical neurons, Aβ1-42 (10 μM)-induced toxicity is prevented from causing morphological changes by DPN (10 nM) [2]. ROS levels are lowered by DPN (0.1–100 nM) in a non-dose-responsive way [2]. In a dose-independent manner, DPN (0.1-100 nM) significantly reduces Aβ1-42-stimulated Bax expression [2]. In cultured cortical neurons, DPN (0.1-100 nM) lowers activated IL-1 levels induced by Aβ1-42 treatment [2]. Aβ1-42-upregulated JNK and p38 phosphorylation are inhibited by DPN (0.1-100 nM) [2].
DPN acts as a full agonist on both ERα and ERβ but shows strong selectivity for ERβ, with a 70-fold higher relative binding affinity and 170-fold higher relative potency in transcription assays compared to ERα. It demonstrates higher affinity and potency for ERβ than the phytoestrogen genistein. [1] |
| ln Vivo |
In an 11-day period, DPN (10 μg) administered subcutaneously improved swimming capacity, decreased FST immobility, and elevated TPH protein expression in the dorsal raphe nucleus (DR) in a rat model [3].
|
| Enzyme Assay |
A competitive radiometric binding assay was used to determine the binding affinities of DPN for purified, recombinant full-length human ERα and ERβ. The assay was performed using 10 nM [³H]estradiol as the tracer. Incubations were carried out at 0°C for 18–24 hours, and hydroxyapatite was used to absorb the purified receptor-ligand complexes. Binding affinities are expressed as relative binding affinity (RBA) values, with the RBA of estradiol set at 100%. [1]

| Cell Assay |
Transcriptional activation was assessed in human endometrial cancer (HEC-1) cells transfected with expression plasmids for ERα and ERβ and an estrogen-responsive reporter gene (chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) or luciferase (Luc)). For the CAT assay, cells in 60 mm dishes were transfected with a calcium phosphate precipitate containing the reporter plasmid, ER expression vector, and internal control (pCMVβGal). After 24 hours of ligand treatment, CAT activity was measured and normalized to β-galactosidase activity. For the Luc assay, HEC-1 cells in 24-well plates were transfected using lipofectin-transferrin with the reporter plasmid, ER expression vector, and internal control (pRL-CMV). After 6 hours, the medium was replaced with media containing ligands, and incubation continued for 24 hours. Luciferase activity was measured using a dual-luciferase reporter assay system, normalized to transfection efficiency, and expressed as a percentage of the activity induced by 10⁻⁸ M estradiol. [1]

| Additional Infomation |
2,3-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionitrile is a nitrile compound with the structure of acetonitrile, in which one hydrogen atom is replaced by 4-hydroxyphenyl and the other hydrogen atom is replaced by 4-hydroxybenzyl. It is a specific agonist of estrogen receptor β (ERβ). It has the function of an estrogen receptor agonist. It belongs to the phenol and nitrile classes.
DPN (2,3-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionitrile) is a diarylpropionitrile that has been identified as a potent and selective ERβ agonist. Its nitrile functional group is crucial for ERβ selectivity, providing an optimal combination of linear geometry and polarity. Structural modifications, such as the addition of a second nitrile group or ortho-methyl group to the β-aryl ring, can enhance its affinity and selectivity for ERβ. DPN and its analogues are useful tools for studying the structural and functional differences between ERα and ERβ. [1] |

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
