Equilenin

Equilenin is a B-ring unsaturated estrogen and one of the main ingredients in Premarin, a drug commonly used in estrogen replacement therapy. Equilenin can bind to estrogen receptors in the body and exert effects similar to endogenous estrogen. Equilenin can be used in estrogen replacement therapy and breast cancer research[1].
