Diethylstilbestrol - Chemical Structure
Diethylstilbestrol - (DES or diethylstilbetrol) a drug prescribed to women from 1938-1971 to prevent miscarriage in high-risk pregnancies.
Acts as a potent estrogen (mimics natural hormone) and therefore a potential endocrine disruptor.
- Female fetus - increased risk abnormal reproductive tract and cancer.
- Male fetus - abnormal genitalia.
Banned by the USA FDA in 1979 as a teratogen, previously used as livestock growth promoter.
