Quinestrol is a synthetic estrogen that is effective in hormone replacement therapy after the menopause [1][2].
Estrogen has extraordinarily complex biological effects in diverse tissues such as skeletal, urogenital, digestive, cardiovascular, ocular and nervous systems. Apart from estrogens, selective estrogen receptor modulators may be used for prevention of some of the long-term consequences of estrogen deficiency [2].
Quinestrol is 3-cyclopentyl ether of ethynyl estradiol. After gastrointestinal absorption, Quinestrol is stored in adipose tissue, where it is slowly released and metabolized in the liver to its active form, ethinyl estradiol.
In adult male mice, quinestrol reduced sperm counts and increased the number of abnormal spermatozoa. Quinestrol stimulated oxidative stress to induce apoptosis in spermatogenic cells through the mitochondrial and death receptor pathways [3]. In adult male rat, quinestrol significantly increased the number of germ cells expressing caspase-3, Bax, Fas and FasL, and reduced the number of cells expressing Bcl-2 and PCNA. These results suggested that quinestrol induced abnormal spermatogenesis through the mitochondrial- and Fas-L-mediated pathways [4].

Calculation results:
Working concentration: mg/ml;
Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )
Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.
Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.
Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
