Dihydrodiethylstilbestrol

Description:

Dihydrodiethylstilbestrol (DES) is a synthetic nonsteroidal estrogen that belongs to the stilbestrol class of compounds. It is characterized by its chemical structure, which includes a phenolic ring system and a diethyl substitution, contributing to its estrogenic activity. DES was initially developed for medical use, particularly in the treatment of certain hormone-sensitive conditions and as a growth promoter in livestock. However, its use in humans was largely discontinued due to significant health risks, including an increased risk of certain cancers and reproductive issues in offspring exposed in utero. The compound is known for its high affinity for estrogen receptors, leading to various biological effects, including alterations in cell proliferation and differentiation. DES is also notable for its persistence in the environment and potential endocrine-disrupting properties. Due to its historical use and associated health concerns, dihydrodiethylstilbestrol is subject to regulatory scrutiny and is no longer widely used in clinical practice.
