General description

Mechanisms of the isomerization processes of molecular and anionic diethylstilbestrol (DES) has been reported. Estrogen activity of cis- and trans-diethylstilbestrol has been evaluated. Diethylstilbestrol is a carcinogenic synthetic estrogen.

Application

Diethylstilbestrol was used as internal standard for the analysis of drug residues in urine of rats and calves by on-line HPLC with ultraviolet and continuous-flow fast atom bombardmentmass spectrometry detectors.

Diethylstilbestrol (DES) and hexestrol (HES) are carcinogenic synthetic estrogens. The major metabolites of these compounds are their catechol derivatives, 3'-OH-DES and 3'-OH-HES. Oxidation of these metabolites leads to the electrophilic quinones, which are presumably involved in the tumor-initiating process. A
