Informação sobre produto

• Nome: Estrone enol diacetate
• Marca: Biosynth
• Descrição: Estrone enol diacetate (E2D) is a labeled estrogen that is used in prostate cancer therapy. E2D binds to the estrogen receptors, which are found on the surface of cells and regulate gene transcription. The labeling agent aziridine allows for localization of the tumor tissue and provides a means for distinguishing between tumor cells and normal cells in PET scans. The most common type of imaging technique used with this drug is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which has been shown to be more accurate than other imaging techniques in pinpointing tumor size. E2D also has affinity for steroid receptors, which are found in both normal cells and cancer cells. This drug can inhibit the growth of cancerous cells by binding to these receptors, leading to cell death.
