Propylparaben sodium
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Propylparaben (Propyl parahydroxybenzoate) sodium is an antibacterial preservative that can be produced by plants and bacteria. Propylparaben sodium is an orally active weak estrogen receptor agonist. Propylparaben sodium regulates the PI3K-AKT and JNK signaling pathways, and induces oxidative stress. Propylparaben sodium is commonly used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and foods, and can be used in studies related to ovarian aging and myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Biological Activity
Propylparaben sodium shows weak estrogenic activity, with a potency approximately 30,000-fold less than 17β-estradiol[1].
Propylparaben sodium disrupts follicular growth and steroidogenic function by altering cell cycle, apoptosis and steroidogenic pathways[5].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Propylparaben (7.5 mg/kg; p.o.; daily for 8 months) sodium significantly alters the estrous cycle, hormone levels and ovarian reserve, and accelerated ovarian aging in mice[5].
