Product Information
| Description: | 2-methoxyestradiol (2-ME2), an endogenous metabolite of 17β -estradiol (E2) with oral activity, is an apoptosis inducer and angiogenesis inhibitor with effective antitumor activity. Methoxyestradiol can also destabilize microtubules. Methoxyestradiol is a potent inhibitor of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can induce autophagy in transformed cell line HEK293, cancer cell line U87 and HeLa. |
| Stability and Solubility Advice: | Information concerning product stability, particularly in solution, has rarely been reported and in most cases we can only offer a general guide. We recommend that stock solutions, once prepared, are stored aliquoted in tightly sealed vials and used within 1 month. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Storage conditions for some special products should refer to their storage details. |
