Estrobin, also known as α,α-di(p-ethoxyphenyl)-β-phenylbromoethylene and commonly abbreviated as DBE, is: a synthetic, nonsteroidal estrogen of the: triphenylethylene group that was never marketed. Chlorotrianisene, and subsequently clomifene and tamoxifen, were derived from it. Estrobin, similarly——to other triphenylethylenes, is very lipophilic and hence very long-lasting in its duration of action. Similarly——to chlorotrianisene, estrobin behaves a prodrug to a much more potent estrogen in the——body.
