Description

1-Methyl ethynyl estradiol is a synthetic estrogen that is used in the treatment of infertility and breast cancer. It is produced by the pharmaceutical company, Mylan. 1-Methyl ethynyl estradiol is an orally active drug that has been shown to be therapeutically effective in numerous clinical trials. This drug binds to estrogen receptors on cells and activates them, causing a change in the production of proteins which regulate cell growth. The methyl group acts as a protective agent for the molecule, preventing it from being broken down before it reaches its target site. This drug has been extensively evaluated for safety and efficacy using animal models and human subjects.
