Description Diethylstilbestrol (DES) is used in the treatment of menopausal and postmenopausal disorders.
In vitro Diethylstilbestrol promotes coactivator release from orphan nuclear receptor ERR beta and inhibits its transcriptional activity in trophoblast stem cells. [1]
In vivo Diethylstilbestrol treated pregnant mice exhibits abnormal early placenta development associated with an overabundance of trophoblast giant cells and an absence of diploid trophoblast. [1] Diethylstilbestrol causes epigenetic methylation changes that result in persistent alterations in gene expression, leading to tumorigenesis in mouse uterus. Diethylstilbestrol induces c-fos exon-4 hypomethylation at postnatal day 17 in mice uterus, while elevating its mRNA level from postnatal day 5. Diethylstilbestrol exposure leads to hypomethylation in the exon-4 region of c-fos mRNA. [2] Diethylstilbestrol-treated rats exhibits more pronounced delay in maturational development of an adult pattern of immunoexpression of the three proteins compared with GnRHa-treated rats. Diethylstilbestrol results in similar reductions in both Sertoli cell numbers and suppression of testicular growth at 18 and 25 days, though by 35 days the suppression is more pronounced in DES-treated rats. [3] Diethylstilbestrol treatment appears to imprint an abnormal, site-specific demethylation of CpG/-464, which requires ovarian hormones to occur in adult mice. [4] Diethylstilbestrol (2.0 ng/g) per day increases adult prostate weight, whereas a 200 ng/g dose decreases adult prostate weight in male offspring mice. [5]

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the

  • Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
See Example

An example of a molarity calculation using the molarity calculator
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 10 ml of water given that the molecular weight of the compound is 197.13 g/mol?
Enter 197.13 into the Molecular Weight (MW) box
Enter 10 into the Concentration box and select the correct unit (millimolar)
Enter 10 into the Volume box and select the correct unit (milliliter)
Press calculate
The answer of 19.713 mg appears in the Mass box

Calculate the dilution required to prepare a stock solution
The dilution calculator is a useful tool which allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentration. Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1.

See Example

An example of a dilution calculation using the Tocris dilution calculator
What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 20ml of a 50 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=50 μM, V2=20 ml and V1 is the unknown:
Enter 10 into the Concentration (start) box and select the correct unit (millimolar)
Enter 50 into the Concentration (final) box and select the correct unit (micromolar)
Enter 20 into the Volume (final) box and select the correct unit (milliliter)
Press calculate
The answer of 100 microliter (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (start) box

Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
Molecular mass (molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed n the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
