Diarylpropionitrile (DPN ), also known as 2,3-bis(p-hydroxyphenyl)propionitrile (2,3-BHPPN ), is a synthetic , nonsteroidal , and highly selective agonist of ERβ (IC50 = 15 nM)[ 1] that is used widely in scientific research to study the function of this receptor .[ 2] [ 3] It is 70-fold more selective for ERβ over ERα ,[ 4] and has 100-fold lower affinity for GPER (GPR30) relative to estradiol .[ 5] DPN produces antidepressant - and anxiolytic -like effects in animals via activation of the endogenous oxytocin system.[ 6] First reported in 2001, DPN was the first selective ERβ agonist to be discovered, and was followed by prinaberel (ERB-041, WAY-202041), WAY-200070 , and 8β-VE2 in 2004, ERB-196 (WAY-202196) in 2005, and certain phytoestrogens like liquiritigenin and nyasol (cis -hinokiresinol) since 2007.[ 7]
DPN is a racemic mixture of two enantiomers , (R)-DPN and (S)-DPN. Relative to (R)-DPN, (S)-DPN has between 3- and 7-fold higher affinity for ERβ and appears to have higher intrinsic 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 for scientific research .[ 8]
