(S)-Equol, or (S)-(–)-4',7-isoflavandiol, is the (S)-enantiomer of the naturally-occurring isoflavandiol estrogen, equol.[1] It is a non-steroidal, selective agonist of ERβ (Ki = 16 nM), with 13-fold selectivity for ERβ over ERα.[1] Relative to (S)-equol, (R)-equol is less potent and, in contrast, binds to ERα (Ki = 50 nM) with 3.5-fold selectivity over ERβ.[1] Under the code name AUS-131, (S)-equol is under development for the treatment of menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and benign prostatic hyperplasia.[2][3][1] Human intestinal bacteria metabolize the soy isoflavone daidzein into (S)-equol, and it has been determined that (S)-equol is exclusively produced.[4]
