17α-Ethynyl-3β-androstanediol (developmental code HE-3539; also known as 17α-ethynyl-5α-androstane-3β,17β-diol) is a synthetic estrogen and a 17α-substituted derivative of 3β-androstanediol which was never marketed.[1][2]
17α-Ethynyl-3β-androstanediol shows high affinity for the estrogen receptors in vitro (IC50 values of 16 nM for ERα and 126 nM for ERβ relative to values of 8 nM at ERα and 7 nM at ERβ for estradiol), and activates the estrogen receptors in vitro (EC50 value of 0.9 nM relative to 0.002 nM for estradiol).[2] It also has weak affinity for the androgen receptor in vitro (IC50 = 277 nM relative to 15 nM for dihydrotestosterone), but doesn't appear to activate the receptor.[2] 17α-Ethynyl-3β-androstanediol may produce 17α-ethynyl-3α-androstanediol and 5α-dihydroethisterone (5α-dihydro-17α-ethynyltestosterone) as active metabolites in vivo.[2] In accordance with its in-vitro estrogenic activity, 17α-ethynyl-3β-androstanediol produces estrogenic effects like uterotrophy and testicular atrophy in animals.[1]
Esters of 17α-ethynyl-3β-androstanediol have been developed and studied.[3]
17α-Ethynyl-3β-androstanediol is a positional isomer of 17α-ethynyl-3α-androstanediol, and is a metabolite of this compound in vivo via metabolic inversion of the position of the C3 hydroxyl group.[2] It may be involved in the biological activity of 17α-ethynyl-3α-androstanediol.[2]
