Chris,
How did you pick diethylstilbestrol and estradiol?
What relationship do they have?
I remember posting about diethylstilbestrol when I was correcting KOALA about saying Methoxyestratetraenone was bad, when he mistakenly used info on diethylstilbestrol. diethylstilbestrol and Methoxyestratetraenone have the same atoms, just arranged differently.
Just wondering what relationship you found between them, because of the "Red Flag" with diethylstilbestrol.
OK,OK, I looked it up myself and they are related, so I posted a bunch of stuff below. But looking at the images, the 2 Molecules look very different, even if they are related.
C18H20O2 is for both DES & Methoxyestratetraenone .
CAS#56-53-1 for Diethylstilbestrol,
aka 4,4'-(3E)-hex-3-ene-3,4-diyldiphenol
I can't find the CAS# of Methoxyestratetraenone , but it is called:
Methoxyestratetraenone
aka Estratetraenone Methyl Ether
aka 1, 3, 5(10), 7-Estratetraen-3-ol-17-one methyl ether
and is an Equilin analog derivative.
But KoalaFruit did say this, which was actually about diethylstilbestrol.
In my enthousiasm I was looking up information about Methoxyestratetraenone so I typed in the formula in google (C18H20O2) and I stumbled upon this:a synthetic nonsteroid with the properties of estrogen; formerly used to treat menstrual problems but was found to be associated with vaginal cancers in the daughters of women so treated during pregnancy[/i] On this page: http://www.memidex.com/c18h20o2 That doesn't sound too positive, does it? Or did those people eat the Meo-ests? I don't want to be negative, but also wanted to share this with you.
Again, the above statement was wrong, and they thought people were taking Methoxyestratetraenone as a medicine, nobody was taking Methoxyestratetraenone , they were taking diethylstilbestrol.

Diethylstilbestrol (CAS 56-53-1)
Description
Diethylstilbestrol (DES) is a synthetic estrogen receptor agonist that was prescribed to pregnant women in the late 1930s. It was banned in 1971 because of possible links to increased risk of breast cancer in mothers along with congenital abnormalities and increased risk of cancer in offspring.1 [color]
DES is structurally related to, and is as potent as, estradiol in most assays, with a longer half-life[/color]. It has a relative binding affinity to sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) of 0.2 compared to estradiol which has a relative binding affinity of 100. A concentration of 20 µM DES, displaces 30 ± 13% of 3H-estradiol from SHBG in serum.

Estradiol
Cayman Chemical Item Number 10006315

17β-Oestradiol; 17β-Estradiol; β-Estradiol (CAS 50-28-2)
Estradiol (CAS 50-28-2)
Description
Estrogens direct the development of the female genotype in embryogenesis and at puberty. Estradiol is the major estrogen secreted by the premenopausal ovary. It is synthesized from testosterone primarily in the ovarian granulosa cells and placenta, but small amounts can be produced in the adrenal gland.1,2 Plasma estradiol levels increase gradually between days 1-7 of the menstrual cycle followed by a sharp increase to a peak value of about 300 pg/ml on day 12, just prior to ovulation.
Synonyms:
17β-Oestradiol
17β-Estradiol
β-Estradiol
Formal Name estra-1,3,5(10)-triene-3,17β-diol
