Ferutinin (high purity)

Potent, naturally occuring non-steroid estrogenic compound. Agonist for estrogen receptor (ER) α and agonist/antagonist for ERβ with higher binding affinity than tamoxifen (Prod. No. ALX-550-095) for both ERs. Electrogenic Ca²⁺ ionophore inducing mitochondrial depolarisation which can be completely blocked by cyclosporin A (Prod. No. BML-A195), suggesting that ferutinin opens the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP). In a concentration range of 1-50µM ferutinin increases the permeability of thymocytes, mitochondria, sarcoplasmic reticulum, liposomes and bilayer lipid membranes for Ca²⁺.
