描述 | Mestranol is an inactive prodrug and becomes biologically active on conversion to ethinyl estradiol (EE). Mestranol acts as an estrogen receptor agonist. Mestranol combines with a progestin in vivo and can be used for the research of menopausal hormone or menstrual disorders[3]. When mestranol was tested in mice and rats (studies on dogs and monkeys are still in progress) orally in combination with a progestin, it produced pituitary tumors and vaginal and cervical squamous cell carcinomas. When used alone, mestranol, by the oral route, increased incidences of pituitary tumors in both sexes, mammary tumors in castrated males, and mammary tumors in females of another mouse species[4]. Pharmacokinetally, a 50 micrograms oral dose of mestranol (which itself is inactive) is bioequivalent to a 35 micrograms dose of ethinyl estradiol[5]. Mestranol is a low potency synthetic estrogen that has been shown to be much more stable than 17β-Estradiol(HY-B0141) in hepatoma cell culture. Mestranol (10 μM; 6 days) stimulates the growth of ERpositive MCF-7 WS8 cells up to 250% of control levels, growth stimulation could be partially reversed by tamoxifen[6]. |
