Background:
Equilenin is an equine estrogen found in the urine of pregnant mares. Unlike naturally occurring human estrogens, equilenin has no effect on nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activity or expression and does not increase production of nitric oxide (NO). It is metabolized to 4-hydroxyequilenin, a carcinogenic compound that induces transformation of C3H 10T1/2 murine fibroblasts. Formulations containing equilenin conjugates have been widely used as hormone replacement therapies for post-menopausal women.
