Metahexestrol
Catalog No. A85324

Metahexestrol functions as an estrogen receptor (E2R) inhibitor, demonstrating significant antitumor activity. It effectively inhibits the proliferation of estrogen receptor-positive MCF-7 human breast cancer cells with an ED50 of 1.0 μM. Notably, Metahexestrol also shows inhibitory effects on estrogen receptor-negative MDA-MB-231 cells, indicating that its antiproliferative action may occur independently of the E2R pathway. This compound is valuable for research focused on estrogen-dependent breast cancer.
