Doisynoestrol (brand names Fenocyclin, Surestrine, Surestryl; former developmental code name RS-2874), also known as fenocycline, as well as cis-bisdehydrodoisynolic acid 7-methyl ether (BDDA ME), is a synthetic nonsteroidal estrogen of the doisynolic acid group that is no longer marketed.^[1]^[2] It is a methyl ether of bisdehydrodoisynolic acid.^[1] Doisynoestrol was described in the literature in 1945.^[1] It has about 0.02% of the relative binding affinity of estradiol for the estrogen receptor.^[3]
