Description

2-Methoxy estrone is a metabolite of estrone and is produced by the enzyme 2-hydroxylase. This compound has minimal toxicity and can be used as a marker for biological processes, such as cellular transformation. 2-Methoxy estrone has been shown to inhibit the activity of acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine, which is essential for neurotransmission. It has also been implicated in the regulation of angiogenic processes in vitro and in vivo. The role of 2-methoxy estrone in cancer cells is not fully understood but it may have potential as a biomarker for prostate cancer and breast cancer.
