• Synonyms: Coumestrol-3,9-dimethyl ether
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3,9-Di-O-methylcoumestrol is a synthetic coumestan derivative, which is primarily derived or synthesized from various plant sources that produce isoflavonoids and related compounds. As a type of phytoestrogen, it exhibits selective estrogen receptor modulating activity, interacting with estrogen receptors in a manner similar to endogenous hormones but with distinctive affinity and specificity. This mode of action suggests it could influence estrogen-responsive pathways, making it of particular interest in fields like endocrinology and pharmacology.
