Hexestrol (INN) (brand name Synestrol, Synoestrol, Estrifar, Estronal, numerous others), also known as hexanestrol, hexoestrol, and dihydrodiethylstilbestrol, is a synthetic, non-steroidal estrogen of the stilbestrol group related to diethylstilbestrol that was used to treat estrogen deficiency but is now no longer employed medically.[1][2][3] Hexestrol has also been available and used in ester form, including as hexestrol diacetate, hexestrol dicaprylate, hexestrol diphosphate, and hexestrol dipropionate.[1] Hexestrol has approximately 302% and 234% of the affinity of estradiol at the ERα and ERβ, respectively.[4]
