4-Fluoroestradiol

Chemical compound


4-Fluoroestradiol (4-FE2) is a synthetic estrogen and a derivative of estradiol which was never marketed.[1] It is specifically the 4-fluoro analogue of estradiol.[1] 4-Fluoroestradiol has 180 ± 43% of the affinity of estradiol for the estrogen receptor of rat uterine cytosol and shows potent uterotrophic activity similar to that of estradiol in mice and rats.[1][2] It has been labeled with fluorine-18 (18F) for potential use in medical imaging.[3][4][5]
