Improved profiling of estrogen metabolites by orbitrap LC/MS.

Steroids 99 , 84-90, (2015)

Estrogen metabolites are important biomarkers to evaluate cancer risks and metabolic diseases. Due to their low physiological levels, a sensitive and accurate method is required, especially for the quantitation of unconjugated forms of endogenous steroids and...

Redox cycling of catechol estrogens generating apurinic/apyrimidinic sites and 8-oxo-deoxyguanosine via reactive oxygen species differentiates equine and human estrogens.

Chem. Res. Toxicol. 23(8) , 1365-73, (2010)

Metabolic activation of estrogens to catechols and further oxidation to highly reactive o-quinones generates DNA damage including apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) sites. 4-Hydroxyequilenin (4-OHEN) is the major catechol metabolite of equine estrogens present in est...

Menstrual cycle effects on urinary estrogen metabolites.

J. Clin. Endocrinol. Metab. 84(11) , 3914-8, (1999)

Endogenous estrogen metabolism may play an important role in the pathogenesis of hormone-related cancers, most notably breast cancer. Despite the importance of estrogen metabolism, little is known about estrogen metabolite profiles during different phases of ...

The effects of steroidal estrogens in ACI rat mammary carcinogenesis: 17beta-estradiol, 2-hydroxyestradiol, 4-hydroxyestradiol, 16alpha-hydroxyestradiol, and 4-hydroxyestrone.

J. Endocrinol. 183(1) , 91-9, (2004)

Several investigators have suggested that certain hydroxylated metabolites of 17beta-estradiol (E2) are the proximate carcinogens that induce mammary carcinomas in estrogen-sensitive rodent models. The studies reported here were designed to examine the carcin...

Synthesis of N-acetylcysteine conjugates of catechol estrogens.

Steroids 61(5) , 296-301, (1996)

The synthesis of N-acetylcysteine conjugates of 2-hydroxyestrone (2-OHE1) and 4-hydroxyestrone (4-OHE1) is described. The reaction of estrone 2,3-quinone with N-acetylcysteine provided 2-OHE1 and its C-4 and C-1 thioether conjugates in a ratio of 1:1, while e...

In vitro generation of peroxynitrite by 2- and 4-hydroxyestrogens in the presence of nitric oxide.

Chem. Res. Toxicol. 14(5) , 547-54, (2001)

Estrogen metabolism is altered in most, if not all, breast cancer tumors. These alterations primarily lead to the formation of the catechol estrogen metabolites, 2- and 4-hydroxyestrogens, which can generate superoxide anion radicals (O(2)(*)(-)) through the ...

The ability of four catechol estrogens of 17beta-estradiol and estrone to induce DNA adducts in Syrian hamster embryo fibroblasts.

Carcinogenesis 22(9) , 1505-10, (2001)

Catechol estrogens are considered critical intermediates in estrogen-induced carcinogenesis. We demonstrated previously that 17beta-estradiol (E(2)), estrone (E(1)) and four of their catechol estrogens, 2- and 4-hydroxyestradiols (2- and 4-OHE(2)), and 2- and...

Estrogen receptor-independent catechol estrogen binding activity: protein binding studies in wild-type, Estrogen receptor-alpha KO, and aromatase KO mice tissues.

Biochemistry 43(21) , 6698-708, (2004)

Primary evidence for novel estrogen signaling pathways is based upon well-documented estrogenic responses not inhibited by estrogen receptor antagonists. In addition to 17beta-E2, the catechol estrogen 4-hydroxyestradiol (4OHE2) has been shown to elicit biolo...

The catechol estrogen, 4-hydroxyestrone, has tissue-specific estrogen actions.

J. Endocrinol. 167(2) , 281-7, (2000)

Recent data indicate that the catechol estrogen, 2-hydroxyestrone (2-OHE(1)), has no effect on any target tissue including bone, whereas 16 alpha-hydroxyestrone (16 alpha-OHE(1)) exerts tissue-selective estrogen agonist activity. The effect of the catechol es...

Determination of catechol and guaiacol estrogens in urine by capillary gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.

Biomed. Chromatogr. 7(3) , 172-6, (1993)

A gas chromatographic (GC)/mass spectrometric method for the simultaneous determination in urine of 2- and 4-hydroxyestrones and hydroxyestradiols, and their monomethyl ethers, is described. Separation of these catechol and guaiacol estrogens was achieved by ...
