Estetrol is the natural human fetal selective estrogen receptor modulator. It is synthesized exclusively by the human fetal liver during pregnancy. Estetrol has a moderate affinity for human estrogen A receptor (ERa) and estrogen B receptor (ERb). Estetrol may be suitable as a potential drug for human use in applications such as hormone replacement therapy (vaginal atrophy, hot flushes), contraception and osteoporosis. The most common drug-related adverse events were lower abdominal pain, nausea, headache, dysmenorrhoea, breast enlargement and acne. Estetrol had been in clinical trials for the treatment of breast and prostate cancers.

In Vivo Use Guide
Curator's Comment: in combination with 3 mg drospirenone tablets
15 mg administered once daily for 13 consecutive cycles following a 24/4-day regimen.
Route of Administration: Oral
Binding of Estetrol at the glucocorticoid, progesterone and testosterone receptors was only 11–15% at a concentration of 10 uM/l. Estetrol at a high concentration of 10 uM/l did not inhibit the major cytochrome P450 enzymes CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6 and CYP3A4.
