Product Description
2-Hydroxyestrone-d4 is the deuterium labelled form of 2-Hydroxyestrone. 2-Hydroxyestrone (Catecholestrone) is a specific receptor-mediated antiestrogen. 2-Hydroxyestrone has anti-cancer effects.
2-Hydroxyestrone-d4 (CAS 81586-97-2) is the deuterium-labeled form of 2-hydroxyestrone, a catechol estrogen metabolite of 17β-estradiol. Its molecular formula is C₁₈H₁₈D₄O₃ with a molecular weight of approximately 290.39. The compound contains four deuterium atoms at positions 1, 4, 16, and 16 on the steroid nucleus. 2-Hydroxyestrone is a specific receptor-mediated antiestrogenic agent with anticarcinogenic properties. The labeled compound is used as an internal standard in studies of estrogen metabolism, hormone regulation, and metabolic pathway analysis.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
2-Hydroxyestrone-d4 shares the same molecular target profile as its non-deuterated form, 2-hydroxyestrone. 2-Hydroxyestrone is a catechol estrogen that acts as a specific receptor-mediated antiestrogenic agent. It binds to estrogen receptors with lower affinity than estradiol but can modulate estrogen signaling. 2-Hydroxyestrone is also a precursor to quinone and semiquinone metabolites that can form DNA adducts, contributing to its anticarcinogenic properties. The labeled compound is used as a tracer to study the metabolism and biological activity of catechol estrogens.
ln Vitro
Drug compounds have included stable heavy isotopes of carbon, hydrogen, and other elements, mostly as quantitative tracers while the drugs were being developed. Because deuteration may have an effect on a drug's pharmacokinetics and metabolic properties, it is a cause for concern [1].
The deuterated compound itself does not possess intrinsic pharmacological activity in vitro; its biological activity is identical to that of 2-hydroxyestrone. 2-Hydroxyestrone has been shown to inhibit the proliferation of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cells and to induce apoptosis. It also acts as an antioxidant and may protect against oxidative DNA damage. In vitro studies have demonstrated that 2-hydroxyestrone can inhibit the activity of enzymes involved in estrogen biosynthesis, such as aromatase. The labeled compound is used as an internal standard for quantifying catechol estrogens in biological samples.
ln Vivo
2-Hydroxyestrone-d4 is not used as a therapeutic agent; its non-deuterated form, 2-hydroxyestrone, is a naturally occurring estrogen metabolite with anticarcinogenic properties. In vivo, 2-hydroxyestrone is produced from estradiol by cytochrome P450 1A1/1A2-mediated hydroxylation. It is further metabolized by catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) to 2-methoxyestrone. The labeled compound is used in pharmacokinetic and metabolic studies to accurately measure 2-hydroxyestrone levels in plasma, urine, and tissue samples.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro assays for 2-hydroxyestrone-d4 focus on its use as an analytical standard rather than a receptor-binding agent. A standard protocol for estrogen metabolite analysis involves preparing a solution of the compound in an appropriate solvent (e.g., methanol) and using it as an internal standard for LC-MS/MS or GC-MS analysis. The compound is added to biological samples (e.g., serum, urine, or tissue homogenates) before extraction and derivatization procedures. Quantification is performed by monitoring specific mass transitions for the labeled and unlabeled compounds. Quality control includes purity analysis (>95%) and calibration with standard solutions.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell culture experiments are not performed with 2-hydroxyestrone-d4. When studying the effects of catechol estrogens in cellular systems, the non-labeled compound is used. Estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cells (e.g., MCF-7) are treated with 2-hydroxyestrone at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 100 µM, and cell proliferation, apoptosis, and gene expression are measured. The labeled compound is used as an internal standard for LC-MS/MS analysis of catechol estrogen concentrations in cell culture media or lysates.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies are not conducted with 2-hydroxyestrone-d4. When used in pharmacokinetic studies, the labeled compound serves as an internal standard for the quantification of 2-hydroxyestrone in animal plasma or tissue samples. In typical protocols, animals are administered estradiol, and blood and urine samples are collected at various time points. The labeled internal standard is added to the samples before analysis by LC-MS/MS to ensure accurate and precise quantification.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of 2-hydroxyestrone-d4 itself are not characterized, as it is not a drug substance. 2-Hydroxyestrone is a metabolite of estradiol with a short half-life in circulation. It is rapidly metabolized by catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) to 2-methoxyestrone and by sulfotransferases and glucuronidases to conjugated metabolites. The labeled compound is used as an internal standard to accurately quantify 2-hydroxyestrone in pharmacokinetic and metabolic studies.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
2-Hydroxyestrone-d4 is not a therapeutic agent and has not been evaluated for toxicity in humans. Its non-deuterated form, 2-hydroxyestrone, is a naturally occurring estrogen metabolite. High levels of catechol estrogens have been associated with an increased risk of estrogen-related cancers due to the formation of DNA-reactive quinone metabolites. The deuterated compound is for research use only and should be handled with standard laboratory precautions, including the use of gloves and safety glasses.
