Description

Moxestrol (11β-methoxy-17-ethynyl-estradiol) is estrogen receptor agonist. It is used in the studies of estrogen receptor activity and distribution. Moxestrol is rapidly metabolized by the liver. Hydroxylation was the main transformation pathway. Moxestrol yielded metabolites hydroxylated (or methoxylated) at C-2, C-15 and C-16, but not at C-6, and also gave rise to D-homo derivatives. It was considered as a potentially effective drug in the treatment of postmenopausal disturbances.
