General description

A cell-permeable stilbene derivative that serves as an aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) ligand and acts as a highly specific and potent inducer of paraoxonase 1 (PON1). Shown to be a better activator of PON1 mRNA (EC₅₀ = 1 µM) and inducer of PON1 enzymatic activity (>3 fold at 5 µM) when compared to resveratrol (Cat. No. 554325). However, it is devoid of any activity against estrogen receptors and is not shown to inhibit activity of tyrosine kinases. Also shown to antagonize the effects of 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-Dioxin (TCDD) on cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1).
