Product Description

Estradiol Benzoate, the 3-benzoylated form of Estradiol, is a prodrug of estradiol that increases blood coagulability, has mild anabolic and metabolic effects, and functions as a steroid sex hormone.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
mERα (IC50 = 2.3 nM); hERα (IC50 =28 nM)
ln Vitro
Estradiol benzoate is an asynthetic ester of the natural estrogen estradiol, more precisely its 3-benzoyl ester. The development of the female genotype during embryogenesis and puberty is regulated by estrogens. The primary estrogen that the premenopausal ovary secretes is estradiol. In order to induce estrus in domestic livestock, estradiol benzoate, an estradiol analog with a benzyl ester at the C-3 position, is frequently used in conjunction with a progestin. With IC50 values between 22 and 28 nM, this compound binds to the estrogen receptor α (ERα) in humans, mice, and chickens. When compared to estradiol, this indicates a binding affinity reduction of 6–10 fold.[1]
ln Vivo
In the Ovx female model, estradiol benzoate (20–100 μg/kg, subcutaneous injection, once daily for 4-5 weeks) enhances learning and memory behavior [1]. Estradiol benzoate (subcutaneous injection, single dose, 0.015–15000 μg/kg)
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Ovx mouse [1]
Doses: 20, 100 or 200 μg/kg
Route of Administration: subcutaneous injection
Experimental Results: Significant It reverses Ovx-induced decrease in uterine weight. There was no significant effect on the locomotor activity of Ovx mice. Effectively reverses Ovx-induced changes in synaptic cleft enlargement and PSD thickness reduction. Replacement with EB (100 μg/kg) for 4 weeks increased the number and density of synaptic vesicles.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: 19~100 mg/mL (265.61~50.5 mM)
H2O: ~0.1 mg/mL (~0.3 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.64 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 2.6561 mL 13.2806 mL 26.5611 mL
5 mM 0.5312 mL 2.6561 mL 5.3122 mL
10 mM 0.2656 mL 1.3281 mL 2.6561 mL

*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.

  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
