Mestranol

• Description :

  Mestranol is an inactive proagent and becomes biologically active on conversion to ethinyl estradiol (EE) . Mestranol acts as an estrogen receptor agonist. Mestranol combines with a progestin in vivo and can be used for the research of menopausal hormone or menstrual disorders. Mestranol is a click chemistry reagent, it contains an Alkyne group and can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) with molecules containing Azide groups.
