Hodoodo CAT#: H561320

CAS#: 138090-06-9

Description: R,R-THC is a estrogen receptor-β selective antagonist. R,R-THC also inhibits DHEA and DHEA metabolite transcriptional activity in ERβ-transfected cells. R,R-THC has also been shown to have neuroprotective effects against glutamate-induced death in primary rat cortical cells and mouse N29/4 hypothalamic cells.
