Equol (R,S)

SKU: orb1303344

Description

(±)-Equol is a non-steroidal estrogen metabolite of daidzein with selective affinity for ERβ over ERα. Its (S)-enantiomer acts as a potent ER agonist, while the racemate also functions as a dihydrotestosterone antagonist. This dual activity makes it a valuable research tool for studying hormone-dependent cancers and endocrine pathways in vitro and in vivo.
