7α-Methylestradiol (7α-Me-E2), also known as7α-methylestra-1,3,5(10)-triene-3,17β-diol, is asyntheticestrogen and anactive metabolite of theandrogen/anabolic steroidTrestolone.[1][2][3] It is considered to be responsible for theestrogenic activity of trestolone.[2][3] The compound shows about higheraffinity for theandrogen receptor thanestradiol.[1]

The chemical synthesis of the 17-acetate ester starting fromtrestolone acetate has been described (but this is old work).[7] Alternative procedures exist, e.g.[8]
7α-Methylestradiol can be used to prepare 7 alpha-methyl-19-nor-androstatrienes such as for example a compound that is called 3-oxo-7a-methyl-17b-acetoxy-17a-ethynyl-4-9,11-19-norandrostatriene.[9]
