Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Hexestrol is a synthetic, nonsteroidal estrogen belonging to the stilbestrol group, structurally related to diethylstilbestrol (DES). It acts as a potent estrogen receptor agonist, promoting the transcription of estrogen-responsive genes and mimicking the physiological effects of endogenous estrogens. Due to its strong estrogenic activity, it has been used historically in hormone replacement therapy and research on estrogen signaling, though its clinical use is now limited due to safety concerns.
