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]

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.
