- A nonsteroidal estrogen antagonist. Benzoestrol is a synthetic estrogenic compound that is used in the treatment of breast cancer. Benzoestrol binds to estrogen receptors and has been shown to inhibit the growth of aerobacter aerogenes. It also has been reported that benzoestrol demonstrated antiproliferative effects on human breast cancer cells, which were mediated by an estrogen receptor-dependent mechanism. The toxicity studies of benzoestrol have revealed that it does not produce mutations in the DNA or chromosomal aberrations. Benzoestrol has shown no genotoxic effects in vivo or in vitro at doses up to 10uM.
