Tamoxifen-d5 is a deuterium labeled Tamoxifen. Tamoxifen is a selective modulator of estrogen receptor (SERM). Tamoxifen is a potent activator of Hsp90 and enhances the Hsp90 molecular chaperone ATPase activity.
Zearalenone-13C18is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of zearalenone by GC- or LC-MS. Zearalenone is a mycotoxin that has been found inFusariumand has estrogenic activities.1It binds to human estrogen receptor α (ERα) and ERβ (IC50s = 9 and 5.8 nM, respectively).2Zearalenone induces precocious development of mammary tissues in young female pigs and prepucial enlargement in young male pigs.3Zearalenone (1.5-5 mg/kg of diet) induces hyperestrogenism in pigs. It also induces degeneration of meiotic chromatin in oocytes and reduces fertility in pigs when administered at a dose of 200 μg/kg.4Zearalenone has been found as a contaminant in wheat, maize, and barley and livestock feeds.3,4
