Hexestrol -d 4 is the deuterium labeled Hexestrol. Hexestrol is a nonsteroidal synthetic estrogen, with a K i of 0.06 and 0.06 nM for estrogen receptor alpha ( ERα ) and ERβ. Hexestrol can be used for the research of the diseases caused by estrogen deficiencym, and it also can increase the weight of cattle [1] [2] [3].
In Vitro, Stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements have been incorporated into drug molecules, largely as tracers for quantitation during the drug development process. Deuteration has gained attention because of its potential to affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs.
