Pharmacology: |
Chlorotrianisene is a nonsteroidal synthetic estrogen. After menopause, when the body no longer produces estrogen, chlorotrianisene is used as a simple replacement of estrogen. The estrogen-stimulated endometrium may bleed within 48-72 hours after discontinuance of estrogen therapy. Paradoxically, prolonged estrogen therapy may cause shrinkage of t...

Mechanism of Action: |
Chlorotrianisene binds to the estrogen receptor on various estrogen receptor bearing cells. Target cells include cells in the female reproductive tract, the mammary gland, the hypothalamus, and the pituitary. Estrogens increase the hepatic synthesis of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), thyroid-binding globulin (TBG), and other serum proteins and...

Absorption: | Absorption following oral administration is rapid. |
Protein binding: | 50-80% |
Biotransformation: | Metabolized principally in the liver, although the kidneys, gonads, and muscle tissues may be involved to some extent. The metabolic fate of the synthetic estrogens has not been fully elucidated. |
Toxicity: | Acute overdosage of large doses of oral contraceptives in chidren reportedly produces almost no toxicity except nausea and vomiting. Acute overdosage of estrogens may cause nausea, and withdrawal bleeding may occur in females. |
Affected organisms: | Humans and other mammals |
