Description

(-)-(S)-Equol is a high affinity ligand for estrogen receptor β with a Ki of 0.73 nM.


Solid


Equol is a member of hydroxyisoflavans.|Equol has been used in trials studying the treatment of Breast Cancer.|S-equol is an orally bioavailable, non-steroidal estrogen naturally produced by the metabolism of the isoflavonoid daidzein by human intestinal microflora, with potential chemoprotective and estrogen receptor (ER) modulating activities. S-equol preferentially binds to and activates the beta isoform of ER in certain target tissues, while having an antagonistic effect in other tissues. This modulates the expression of ER-responsive genes in a tissue-specific manner. This agent may increase bone mineral density, affect vasomotor symptoms, and may decrease the proliferation rate of susceptible cancer cells. In addition, this agent interferes with the activity of enzymes involved in steroid biosynthesis. S-equol inhibits dihydrotestosterone (DHT) production and may inhibit the proliferation of androgen-driven prostate cancer. S-equol is the biologically active enantiomer while R-equol is essentially inactive and has a weak affinity for alpha-ER.|A non-steroidal ESTROGEN generated when soybean products are metabolized by certain bacteria in the intestines.

Equol Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

Deprotecting the bis-MOM-S-equol to S-Equol ((S)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-chroman-7-ol); A solution of 42.17 g (0.128 mol) of (S)-bis-MOM-equol in 200 mL of 1:1 mixture of CHA mixture of phenol 6 (259 mg, 0.8 mmol) and KThe dimethoxy chromane (−)-23 (18g, 66.7mmol) was dissolved in pyridine hydrochloride (192g, 148mL, 1.67mol), heated overnight at 150°C and cooled to room temperature. After neutralizing with excessive NaHCOTo a suspension Of LiAlHTo a mixture of alcohol of formula (9) (50 g) and triphenyl phosphine (151 g) in THF (2.5 L) diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (1 16.5 g) in THF (500 mL) was added at 15-20 °C and maintained at that temperature for 1 -2 hours. About 5percent lithium hydroxide solution (1000 mL) was added into the reaction mass and extracted with MTBE (3 x 750 mL) to remove the organic impurities. The pH of the aqueous layer was adjusted to 1 -4 by dilute hydrochloric acid (250 mL). The reaction mass was maintained at RT for 5-6 hours and the product was filtered off. The crude product was taken with I PA (7.5 vol) and added water (22.5 vol). The reaction mass was then maintained at RT for 12-14 hours. The solid was filtered and dried at 50-55 for 10-12 hours to afford the title compound. Yield: 36 g Chemical purity (by HPLC): 98.9percent. Chiral purity (by HPLC): 99.7percent e.e. To a mixture of alcohol of formula (9) (50 g) and triphenyl phosphine (151 g) in THF (2.5 L) diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (116.5 g) in THF (500 mL) was added at 15-20° C. and maintained at that temperature for 1-2 hours.
