Description:
Biochem/physiol Actions
The carcinogen hexestrol is a nonsteroidal synthetic estrogen. Metabolic activation of hexestrol to its quinone, which reacts with DNA to form analogous depurinating adducts, may be a primary critical event leading to oncogenic mutations and cancer initiation.
Linkage
Reduced analogue of diethylstilbestrol.
