Quinestrol (INN, USAN, BAN) (brand names Agalacto-Quilea, Basaquines, Eston, Estrovis, Estrovister, Plestrovis, Qui-Lea), also known as ethinylestradiol 3-cyclopentyl ether (EE2CPE), is a synthetic, steroidal estrogen used in hormone replacement therapy and occasionally to treat breast cancer and prostate cancer.[1][2][3][4] It is a prodrug of ethinylestradiol (with cyclopentanol also being formed) with no intrinsic estrogenic activity of its own, and has a very long terminal half-life of more than 120 hours due to enhanced lipophilicity.[5] Because of its much longer terminal half-life, quinestrol is two to three times as potent as ethinylestradiol.[6] The drug was marketed as Estrovis in the United States by Parke Davis and as Qui-Lea in Argentina,[4] but is reportedly not currently marketed.[6] However, it does appear to be available as an oral contraceptive in combination with progestins in Argentina and China.[7] Quinestrol was described in the literature in 1967.[1]
