2-Methoxyestriol (2-MeO-E3) is an endogenous estrogen metabolite.[1][2][3] It is specifically a metabolite of estriol and 2-hydroxyestriol.[1][2][3] It has negligible affinity for the estrogen receptors and no estrogenic activity.[4] However, 2-methoxyestriol does have some non-estrogen receptor-mediated cholesterol-lowering effects.[5]

Notes: Values are mean ± SD or range. ER RBA = Relative binding affinity to estrogen receptors of rat uterine cytosol. Uterine weight = Percentage change in uterine wet weight of ovariectomized rats after 72 hours with continuous administration of 1 μg/hour via subcutaneously implanted osmotic pumps. LH levels = Luteinizing hormone levels relative to baseline of ovariectomized rats after 24 to 72 hours of continuous administration via subcutaneous implant. Footnotes: a = Synthetic (i.e., not endogenous). b = Atypical uterotrophic effect which plateaus within 48 hours (estradiol's uterotrophy continues linearly up to 72 hours). Sources: See template.
