Methylestradiol
Methylestradiol is a synthetic, steroidal estrogen that is derived from estradiol, and is specifically, the 3-methyl ether of estradiol. It is used in scientific research to study its effects and potential uses. Methylestradiol is also a metabolite of the synthetic estrogen, ethinylestradiol, and the prodrug of ethinylestradiol, ethinylestradiol sulfonate.
Pharmacology
Methylestradiol, like ethinylestradiol, is a synthetic estrogen, and has similar effects to natural estrogens in the body. It is less potent than ethinylestradiol, but has similar effects on the endometrium, vagina, and pituitary gland. Methylestradiol is also a metabolite of ethinylestradiol, which means it is produced in the body after ethinylestradiol is ingested.
Chemistry

Methylestradiol is structurally related to the natural estrogen, estradiol, and the synthetic estrogens, ethinylestradiol and mestranol.
