What is Estriol?
Plain description, key identifiers and synonyms
Estriol is a 3-hydroxy steroid that is estra-1,3,5(10)-trien-3-ol substituted by additional hydroxy groups at positions 16 and 17 (16alpha,17beta-stereoisomer). It has a role as an estrogen, a mouse metabolite, a human xenobiotic metabolite and a human metabolite. It is a 16alpha-hydroxy steroid, a 17beta-hydroxy steroid and a 3-hydroxy steroid. It derives from a hydride of an estrane.

Pharmacology
Estriol is a synthetic form of the endogenous human estriol, a weak oestrogen and natural metabolite of estradiol, that can be used for hormone replacement. Upon administration, estriol maintains adequate levels of estrogen, binds to estrogen receptors, and relieves symptoms caused by estrogen deficiency.
