4-Methoxyestriol (4-MeO-E3) is an endogenous estrogen metabolite.[1][2][3][4] It is the 4-methyl ether of 4-hydroxyestriol and a metabolite of estriol and 4-hydroxyestriol.[1][2][3] 4-Methoxyestriol has very low affinities for the estrogen receptors.[4] Its relative binding affinities (RBAs) for estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) and estrogen receptor beta (ERβ) are both about 1% of those of estradiol.[4] For comparison, estriol had RBAs of 11% and 35%, respectively.[4]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
