Biochem/physiol Actions
ERB-041 is a potent, selective estrogen ERβ receptor agonist (IC50 ERβ: 5.4 nM; > 200-fold selective over ERα). ERβ plays a minor role in mediating estrogen action in the uterus, the hypothalamus/pituitary, the skeleton, and other classic estrogen target tissues. However, a clear role for ERβ has been established in the ovary, cardiovascular system, and brain as well as in animal models of inflammation including arthritis, endometriosis, inflammatory bowel disease, and sepsis. There is increasing interest in finding ERβ agonists for potential use in a variety of clinical applications without triggering classic estrogenic side effects. |
