17β-Dihydroequilin is anaturally occurring estrogen sex hormone found inhorses as well as amedication .[ 1] [ 2] sulfate ester sodium salt , it is a minor constituent (1.7%) ofconjugated estrogens (CEEs; brand namePremarin ).[ 1] equilin , withequilin sulfate being a major component of CEEs, is transformed into 17β-dihydroequilin in the body, analogously to the conversion ofestrone into estradiol, 17β-dihydroequilin is, along with estradiol, the most important estrogen responsible for the effects of CEEs.[ 1]
17β-Dihydroequilin is an estrogen, or anagonist of theestrogen receptors (ERs), theERα andERβ .[ 1] relative binding affinity for the ERs, 17β-dihydroequilin has about 113% and 108% of that of estradiol for the ERα and ERβ, respectively.[ 1] vagina and 200% of the relative potency of CEEs in theuterus .[ 1] equine estrogens , it shows the highestestrogenic activity and greatest estrogenicpotency .[ 1]
Like CEEs as a whole, 17β-dihydroequilin has disproportionate effects in certaintissues such as theliver anduterus .[ 1] Equilin , the second major component of conjugated estrogens afterestrone , is reversiblytransformed into 17β-dihydroequilin analogously to the transformation of estrone into estradiol.[ 1] [ 1] [ 1]

17β-Dihydroequilin has about 30% of therelative binding affinity oftestosterone forsex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), relative to 50% forestradiol .[ 1] metabolic clearance rate of 17β-dihydroequilin is 1,250 L/day/m2 , relative to 580 L/day/m2 for estradiol.[ 1]
17β-Dihydroequilin, or simply β-dihydroequilin, also known as δ7 -17β-estradiol or as 7-dehydro-17β-estradiol, as well as estra-1,3,5(10),7-tetraen-3,17β-diol, is anaturally occurring estrane steroid and ananalogue ofestradiol .[ 1] chemical structure andpharmacology , equilin (δ7 -estrone) is to 17β-dihydroequilin asestrone is to estradiol.[ 1]
