    Product Description

    (−)-8-Prenylnaringenin is a prenylated flavonoid and phytoestrogen that has been found in H. lupulus and has estrogenic activity.1 It binds to recombinant human estrogen receptor α (ERα) and ERβ in cell-free assays and induces ER activation in a reporter assay using yeast expressing human ER in a concentration-dependent manner. (−)-8-Prenylnaringenin increases uterine vascular permeability in ovariectomized mice in a dose-dependent manner.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
