Propylpyrazoletriol

Propylpyrazoletriol (pronunciation: pro-pyl-py-ra-zole-tri-ol) is a synthetic, selective estrogen receptor beta (ERβ) agonist that is used in scientific research.

Etymology

The term "Propylpyrazoletriol" is derived from its chemical structure. "Propyl" refers to the propyl group, a three-carbon alkyl substituent. "Pyrazole" is a class of organic compounds with the formula C3H3N2H. "Triol" indicates the presence of three alcohol (-OH) groups.

Usage

Propylpyrazoletriol is used in scientific research to study the effects of selective ERβ activation. It has been found to have anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and cardioprotective effects in animal models. It is also used to study the role of ERβ in the regulation of gene expression, cell proliferation, and differentiation.
