    Description

    PHTPP is a selective estrogen receptor β (ERβ) antagonist with 36-fold selectivity over ERα[1].

    IC50 & Target

    ERβ[1]

    In Vitro

    PHTPP is a selective ERβ antagonist. PHTPP reduces FSH-mediated cAMP production by 80% (p<0.01) while it has no effect on basal cAMP[1]. PHTPP (10-6 M) inhibits E2-stimulated ERβ activity, but does not suppress E2-stimulated ERα activity. A high dose of PHTPP (10-6 M) slightly increases class 1 Igf1 mRNA expression, and facilitates the DPN-induced increase in class 1 Igf1 mRNA expression[2].

    In Vivo:

    Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

    For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
    To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
    The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

    • Protocol 1

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.91 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

      Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
    • Protocol 2

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.91 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

    For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
    The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

    Cell Assay
    [1]

    Cells are plated at a density of 3 to 4×105 in 1 mL of medium per well in a 24-well plate for cell viability and cAMP analysis. Cells are cultured in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium with PHTPP (1 μM), or ethanol (0.1%) as the vehicle. The incubator is set to an atmosphere of 5% CO2 in air at 37°C, and cultures are allowed to acclimate for at least 24 h. The culture medium is then aspirated and replaced with serum-free DMEM/F12 containing 0.1 μM androstenedione. The cells are collected for intracellular cAMP and to test cell viability[1].

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
