Diarylpropionitrile (DPN ), also known as2,3-bis(p-hydroxyphenyl)propionitrile (2,3-BHPPN ), is asynthetic ,nonsteroidal , and highlyselective agonist ofERβ (IC50 = 15 nM)[ 1] that is used widely inscientific research to study the function of thisreceptor .[ 2] [ 3] It is 70-fold more selective for ERβ overERα ,[ 4] and has 100-fold loweraffinity forGPER (GPR30) relative toestradiol .[ 5] DPN producesantidepressant - andanxiolytic -like effects in animals via activation of theendogenous oxytocin system.[ 6] First reported in 2001, DPN was the first selective ERβ agonist to be discovered, and was followed byprinaberel (ERB-041, WAY-202041),WAY-200070 , and8β-VE2 in 2004,ERB-196 (WAY-202196) in 2005, and certainphytoestrogens likeliquiritigenin andnyasol (cis -hinokiresinol) since 2007.[ 7]
DPN is aracemic mixture of twoenantiomers , (R)-DPN and (S)-DPN. Relative to (R)-DPN, (S)-DPN has between 3- and 7-fold higheraffinity for ERβ and appears to have higherintrinsic activity in activating ERβ.[ 8] [ 9] However, both enantiomers have very high affinity, potency, selectivity for ERβ and efficaciously activate ERβ.[ 8] In any case, it has been suggested that (S)-DPN might be the preferred enantiomer to use forscientific research .[ 8]
