4-Hydroxyestradiol-2-glutathione

Description:

4-Hydroxyestradiol-2-glutathione is a conjugate formed from the interaction of 4-hydroxyestradiol, a metabolite of estradiol, and glutathione, a tripeptide that plays a crucial role in cellular antioxidant defense. This compound is characterized by its structure, which includes a hydroxy group and a glutathione moiety, contributing to its biochemical properties. It is primarily studied in the context of estrogen metabolism and its potential role in cellular signaling and detoxification processes. The presence of the glutathione component suggests that it may participate in redox reactions and help mitigate oxidative stress. Additionally, this compound may be involved in the modulation of estrogen-related biological activities, including those linked to cancer and other hormone-related conditions. Its CAS number, 209523-07-9, allows for precise identification in chemical databases and literature. Overall, 4-Hydroxyestradiol-2-glutathione exemplifies the complex interplay between hormones and cellular protective mechanisms.
