17α-Ethynyl-3β-androstanediol (developmental code HE-3539 ; also known as 17α-ethynyl-5α-androstane-3β,17β-diol ) is a synthetic estrogen and a 17α-substituted derivative of 3β-androstanediol which was never marketed.[ 1] [ 2]
17α-Ethynyl-3β-androstanediol shows high affinity for the estrogen receptors in vitro (IC50 Tooltip Half-maximal inhibitory concentration values of 16 nM for ERα and 126 nM for ERβ relative to values of 8 nM at ERα and 7 nM at ERβ for estradiol ), and activates the estrogen receptors in vitro (EC50 Tooltip Half-maximal effective concentration value of 0.9 nM relative to 0.002 nM for estradiol).[ 2] It also has weak affinity for the androgen receptor in vitro (IC50 = 277 nM relative to 15 nM for dihydrotestosterone ), but doesn't appear to activate the receptor.[ 2] 17α-Ethynyl-3β-androstanediol may produce 17α-ethynyl-3α-androstanediol and 5α-dihydroethisterone (5α-dihydro-17α-ethynyltestosterone) as active metabolites in vivo .[ 2] In accordance with its in-vitro estrogenic activity, 17α-ethynyl-3β-androstanediol produces estrogenic effects like uterotrophy and testicular atrophy in animals.[ 1]
Esters of 17α-ethynyl-3β-androstanediol have been developed and studied.[ 3]
17α-Ethynyl-3β-androstanediol is a positional isomer of 17α-ethynyl-3α-androstanediol, and is a metabolite of this compound in vivo via metabolic inversion of the position of the C3 hydroxyl group .[ 2] It may be involved in the biological activity of 17α-ethynyl-3α-androstanediol.[ 2]

Footnotes: a = (1) Binding affinity values are of the format "median (range)" (# (#–#)), "range" (#–#), or "value" (#) depending on the values available. The full sets of values within the ranges can be found in the Wiki code. (2) Binding affinities were determined via displacement studies in a variety of in-vitro systems with labeled estradiol and human ERα and ERβ proteins (except the ERβ values from Kuiper et al. (1997), which are rat ERβ). Sources: See template page.
Analogues of 17α-ethynyl-3β-androstanediol include 17α-ethynyl-3α-androstanediol , ethinylandrostenediol (17α-ethynyl-5-androstenediol), ethandrostate (17α-ethynyl-5-androstenediol 3β-cyclohexanepropionate), ethinylestradiol (17α-ethynylestradiol), ethisterone (17α-ethynyltestosterone), and 5α-dihydroethisterone (17α-ethynyldihydrotestosterone).
