16-Epiestriol (16-epi-Estriol; 16β,17β-Estriol) is a natural stereoisomer of estriol and an anti-inflammatory agent that targets UGT. The Ki values of 16-Epiestriol against human UGT1A10 and UGT2B7 are 98.1 μM and 162 μM, respectively. As a glucuronidation substrate, 16-Epiestriol can be modified at the 3-OH, 16-OH and 17-OH sites by various UGT enzymes; in liver microsomes, the modification mainly occurs at the 16-OH and 17-OH sites, while reactions take place at all three sites in intestinal microsomes. 16-Epiestriol acts on the phase II inflammatory process by blocking edema mediated by prostaglandins and leukocyte infiltration. It lacks glycogenic activity or any effect on blood glucose levels, and serves as an important candidate molecule in the research of inflammatory diseases .
Cat. No.: HY-141764S
CAS No.: 1794780-53-2
Research Areas:
2,2-Bis(p-hydroxyphenyl)-1,1,1-trichloroethane-d8 is the deuterated-labeled HPTE (HY-W490804). HPTE is the active in vivo metabolite of Methoxychlor (HY-B1873), and acts as an inhibitor of 3β‑HSD and 17β‑HSD3. HPTE binds to the substrate-binding pocket of 3β‑HSD in a non-competitive manner, but competitively occupies the coenzyme NAD +-binding site, thereby inhibiting the conversion of pregnenolone to progesterone. HPTE binds to the androstenedione-binding pocket (the substrate pocket) of 17β‑HSD3 in a non-competitive manner, and competitively occupies the coenzyme NADPH-binding site, thus blocking the conversion of androstenedione to testosterone. HPTE interferes with androgen biosynthesis in Leydig cells by inhibiting the activities of these two key steroidogenic enzymes. HPTE can be used in studies related to androgen biosynthesis .

Hormones are a class of biologically active substances secreted by endocrine gland cells, which are transported through the circulatory system to various parts of the body, and precisely act on specific target organs or cells, playing a crucial role in regulating the growth, development, metabolism, and reproduction of organisms. The mechanisms of hormone action are diverse and complex. Some hormones (such as corticosteroids, vitamin D, and thyroid hormones) can enter the cell interior and interact with receptors in the nucleus, thereby regulating gene expression and affecting cell function. Other hormones (such as growth hormone and thyrotropin-releasing hormone) bind directly to receptors on the cell surface, exerting their effects by regulating enzyme activity or influencing the state of ion channels. Additionally, hormones play a key role in the study of endocrine and metabolic diseases, and are closely related to the development of diseases such as diabetes and thyroid diseases.
MCE has included 86 human hormone compounds, which is of great significance for the study of human metabolic pathways, and can also be used to build a metabonomics database.

Bile acids are a class of amphiphilic molecules derived from the metabolic breakdown of cholesterol, primarily synthesized in the liver, and play a crucial role in the intestines. Based on their structural characteristics, bile acids are mainly divided into two categories: free bile acids (including Cholic acid, Deoxycholic acid, Chenodeoxycholic acid) and conjugated bile acids (including Glycocholic acid, Glycochenodeoxycholic acid, Taurocholic acid, etc.). Bile acids play a significant role in the pathophysiological research of liver and gastrointestinal diseases and are closely associated with the occurrence of metabolic diseases such as obesity, type II diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and atherosclerosis. Bile acids maintain metabolic balance within the body by regulating sugar metabolism, lipid metabolism, and amino acid metabolism, and they influence the activity of metabolism-related enzymes and transporters. In addition, Bile acids can also be used to construct a bile acid metabolism research platform, which helps to delve into the metabolic pathways and dynamic changes of bile acids in living organisms and aids in identifying new biomarkers for certain diseases.
MCE included 62 bile acids, including Cholic acid, Deoxycholic acid, Glycocholic acid, etc., which are effective tools for the study of liver and gallbladder diseases.

Unnatural amino acids (UAAs), also referred to as non-canonical amino acids (ncAAs) or non-proteinogenic amino acids, are a class of amino acids that are distinct from the 20 standard natural amino acids. They can be obtained through chemical synthesis, biosynthesis, and other approaches, with structural diversity far exceeding that of natural amino acids. UAAs are mainly including naturally occurring non-canonical amino acids, chemically synthesized amino acids, and biosynthetic amino acids, which provide a molecular basis for protein function design.
UAAs exhibit significant value in multiple fields. They can optimize the pharmacokinetic properties of peptide drugs and peptidomimetics, modify enzyme functions and endow them with new biological activities, thereby overcoming the limitations of traditional peptide drugs and expanding the chemical space . Meanwhile, UAAs can serve as molecular probes to analyze protein-protein interactions and investigate the regulatory mechanisms of protein functions.
MCE has compiled a UAAs Fragment Library comprising nearly a thousand unnatural amino acid fragments with extensive coverage of chemical space and enhanced structural diversity. This compound library can be widely applied in peptide synthesis, drug design, and protein engineering.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a hepatotropic enveloped positive- strand RNA virus (family Flaviviridae) that infects the parenchymal cells of the liver. HCV infection is a significant public health burden. Globally, an estimated 71 million people have chronic hepatitis C virus infection. A significant number of those who are chronically infected will develop cirrhosis or liver cancer. To date, there is no vaccine against HCV, and combination pegylated alpha interferon (pIFN-) and ribavirin, the main standard-of-care treatment for HCV, is effective in only a subset of patients and is associated with a wide spectrum of toxic side effects and complications. More recently, new therapeutic approaches that target essential components of the HCV life cycle have been developed, including direct-acting antiviral (DAA) that specifically block a viral enzyme or functional protein and host-targeted agents (HTA) that block interactions between host proteins and viral components that are essential to the viral life cycle. However, the genetic diversity of HCV viruses and the stage of liver disease (i.e., cirrhosis) are revealing themselves as obstacles for effective, pan-genotypic treatments. There still exists a need for the discovery and development of new HCV inhibitors. In particular, since the future of HCV therapy will likely consist of a cocktail approach using multiple inhibitors that target different steps of infection, new antivirals targeting all steps of the viral infection cycle.
MCE offers a unique collection of 394 compounds with identified and potential anti-HCV activity. MCE Anti- Hepatitis C Virus Compound Library is a useful tool for discovery new anti-HCV drugs and other anti-infection research.
