Coumestrol dimethyl ether (CAS 3172-99-4)
QUICK LINKS
Coumestrol dimethyl ether is a compound often explored within the context of organic chemistry and plant-derived natural product research. It is structurally related to coumestrol, a phytoestrogen, but is modified with two methoxy groups. This methylation typically alters the compound′s physicochemical properties and can affect its interaction with biological molecules. In research studies, coumestrol dimethyl ether is utilized to understand the impact of structural modifications on the binding affinity and selectivity of compounds to estrogen receptors. It also serves as a model compound for the synthesis of more complex molecules that mimic or interfere with the action of naturally occurring estrogens. Additionally, coumestrol dimethyl ether can be used in studies investigating the role of plant secondary metabolites in plant ecology and interactions with herbivores or pathogens.
