General description

Mechanisms of the isomerization processes of molecular and anionic diethylstilbestrol (DES) has been reported. Estrogen activity of cis- and trans-diethylstilbestrol has been evaluated. Diethylstilbestrol is a carcinogenic synthetic estrogen.

Application

Diethylstilbestrol was used as internal standard for the analysis of drug residues in urine of rats and calves by on-line HPLC with ultraviolet and continuous-flow fast atom bombardmentmass spectrometry detectors.

An automatic system for the on-line extraction and analysis of diethylstilbestrol in the urine of rats and calves is described. Extraction was done by injecting samples directly into an immunoaffinity column containing antidiethylstilbestrol antibodies bound to a Sepharose matrix, and

Estrogens regulate different physiological systems with wide ranges of concentrations. The rapid analysis of estrogens is crucially important for drug discovery and medical diagnosis, but quantitation of nanomolar estrogens in live cells persists as an important challenge. We herein describe

Diethylstilbestrol (DES) and hexestrol (HES) are carcinogenic synthetic estrogens. The major metabolites of these compounds are their catechol derivatives, 3'-OH-DES and 3'-OH-HES. Oxidation of these metabolites leads to the electrophilic quinones, which are presumably involved in the tumor-initiating process. A

This study sought to assess the incidence and clinical impact of stent fracture (SF) after the PROMUS Element platinum-chromium everolimus-eluting stent (PtCr-EES). SF remains an unresolved, clinically relevant issue, even in the newer-generation drug-eluting stent era. From March 2012 to
