Ethylestradiol, or17α-ethylestradiol, also known as17α-ethylestra-1,3,5(10)-triene-3,17β-diol, is asyntheticestrogen which was never marketed. It occurs as anactive metabolite of theanabolic steroidsnorethandrolone andethylestrenol formed viaaromatase and is believed to be responsible for theestrogenic effects of norethandrolone and ethylestrenol.[1] The 3-methylether of ethylestradiol has been used as anintermediate in thesynthesis of certain19-nortestosteroneanabolic steroids,[2][3]Norethandrolone in particular.[4]
