DIETHYLSTILBESTROL vs NATURAL ESTROGENIC SUBSTANCE-ESTRONE
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Synthetic nonsteroidal estrogen that binds to estrogen receptors (ERα/ERβ), activating estrogen-responsive gene transcription, leading to proliferation of estrogen-sensitive tissues.
Estrone binds to and activates estrogen receptors (ERα and ERβ), leading to modulation of gene transcription and subsequent estrogenic effects on target tissues.
0.5-2 mg orally once daily for palliative treatment of advanced prostate cancer; 5-15 mg orally once daily for prevention of postpartum breast engorgement.
0.1 to 0.5 mg intramuscularly 2 to 3 times per week for estrogen replacement therapy

Terminal elimination half-life is approximately 24 hours (range 20-30 hours) in adults; prolonged in hepatic impairment.
Clinical Note

Clinical Note
moderateDiethylstilbestrol + Acetyldigitoxin
Terminal half-life: 24-48 hours (prolonged due to enterohepatic recirculation and tissue distribution).
Primarily renal (90% as glucuronide and sulfate conjugates), with less than 5% excreted unchanged in urine; biliary/fecal elimination accounts for about 10%.
Renal: ~50% (as glucuronide and sulfate conjugates), Biliary/Fecal: ~50% (enterohepatic recirculation).
