Equilin-d4
Equilin-d4 is the deuterium labeled Equilin. Equilin (7-Dehydroestrone) is an important member of the large group of oestrogenic substances and is chemically related to menformon (oestrone). Equilin increases the growth of cortical neurons via an NMDA receptor-dependent mechanism.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements have been incorporated into drug molecules, largely as tracers for quantitation during the drug development process. Deuteration has gained attention because of its potential to affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only. Further protocols information, click here.
Application
1. This compound can be used as a tracer
2. This compound can be used as an internal standard for quantitative analysis by NMR, GC-MS, or LC-MS.

Protocols

Primary Embryonic Cortical Neuron Culture
Primary embryonic cortical neuron culture isolates cortical tissue from prenatal rodents, dissociates it into single cells, and maintains neurons in vitro so that neurite extension, neuronal marker expression, synapse formation, survival, and treatment responses can be examined outside the intact brain.
