Estradiol
The main and most potent oestrogen in the body, produced mostly by the ovaries: it regulates the menstrual cycle and the development of female sexual characteristics and protects the bones. It was isolated in the mid-1930s and is used in hormone replacement therapy. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities, metabolites, labelled standards and other impurities.
