Product Description

Raloxifene HCl (also known as LY-156758; LY-139481; trade names: Evista; Keoxifene; RALOX), the hydrochloride salt of Raloxifene, is a selective estrogen antagonist or estrogen strogen receptor modulator (SERM) that has been approved as a medication to prevent and treat osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. It inhibits human cytosolic aldehyde oxidase-catalyzed phthalazine oxidation activity with an IC50 of 5.7 nM. Raloxifene belongs to the benzothiophene class of estrogen strogen receptor modulator (SERM). Raloxifene binds to estrogen receptors as a mixed estrogen agonist/antagonist; it displays both an ER-α-selective partial agonist/antagonist effect and a pure ER-ß-selective antagonist effect.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
At nanomolar concentrations, raloxifene fully agonistically activates the TGF beta 3 promoter. In transient transfection studies, raloxifene acts as a pure estrogen antagonist to suppress the expression of the vitellogenin promoter, which contains the estrogen response element[1]. With Ki values ranging from 0.87 to 1.4 nM, raloxifene is a strong uncompetitive inhibitor of the oxidation of phthalazine, vanillin, and nicotine by human liver aldehyde oxidase[2]. Raloxifene has a Ki value of 51 nM and is also a noncompetitive inhibitor of an aldehyde oxidase-catalyzed reduction process of a molecule containing hydroxamic acid[2]. Raloxifene (0-80 μM; 48 hours) dramatically reduced the viability of mouse mmmary carcinoma BJMC3879luc2 cells in a concentration-dependent manner[5].
ln Vivo
In ovariectomized (OVX) rats, raloxifene (3 mg/kg; once daily) has a limited effect on uterine wet weight and low estrogenic activity on bone resorption and serum cholesterol[3]. In the proximal tibia and distal femur, raloxifene (oral dosage; 0.1 mg/kg–10 mg/kg; 5 weeks) enhances bone mineral density. In ovariectomized (OVX) rats, it lowers serum cholesteroloral with an ED50 of 0.2 mg/kg[4]. Raloxifene (subcutaneously implanted mini-osmotic pumps; 18 or 27 mg/kg; once daily; 6 weeks) dramatically reduces the number of lymph node metastases in addition to dramatically suppressing tumor sizes in mice[5].

*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.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • 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
