General Description
Chlorotrianisene is a trianisylchloroethylene synthetic non-steroidal estrogen compound. It functions as a prodrug, undergoing slow metabolism in the liver to yield active estrogenic metabolites.
Mechanism of Action
Chlorotrianisene is stored in adipose tissue and slowly metabolized to active estrogenic compounds that bind and activate estrogen receptors, modulating transcription of estrogen-responsive genes in target tissues.
Application
Used in the treatment of estrogen deficiency conditions. Chlorotrianisene is indicated for menopausal vasomotor symptoms, atrophic vaginitis, ovarian failure, and prostate cancer palliation.
