Description
Curator's Comment: Description was created based on several sources, including https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15883431

EQUOL, (-)- is the (S)-enantiomer of the naturally-occurring isoflavandiol estrogen, equol. EQUOL, (-)- (US-131), is a first-in-class, nonsteroidal, nonhormonal, small molecule (S-equol) that has higher selectivity toward estrogen receptor β (ERβ) than to estrogen receptor α (ERα). S-equol is the exclusive product of human intestinal bacterial synthesis from soy isoflavones. Two-Phase 1 studies have seen completed and published; AUS-131 was safe and well-tolerated in humans. A Phase 2a trial in menopausal women with vasomotor symptoms (VMS) has recently been completed (169 patients). A second Phase 2a trial in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is on track.
