Estradiol 3-methyl ether, also known as 3-O-Methyl estradiol, is a synthetic estrogen. This compound has demonstrated the ability to disrupt microtubule networks in V79 cells with an EC50 of 9 μM, and it also inhibits cell proliferation. Furthermore, Estradiol 3-methyl ether has been observed to decrease serum cholesterol levels and contribute to body weight loss, indicating feminizing activity in an HFD murine model. It is intended for research use only.
