General description

Diethylstilbestrol (DES) belongs to the synthetic oestrogens class of compounds.

Application

DES has been used as a reference standard for the determination of DES in:
  • Dairy products by QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe) extraction procedure and ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QqQ MS/MS) equipped with electrospray ionization (ESI) and multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode of detection.
  • Water samples by magnetic micro-dispersive solid-phase extraction (m-μSPE) and HPLC-MS.

It may be used as a reference standard for the analysis of DES in
  • Aquatic products by modified QuEChERS extraction and multiplug filtration clean-up (m-PFC) followed by LC-ESI-MS/MS with MRM mode of detection.
  • Milk samples by vortex-assisted hollow fibre liquid-phase microextraction (VA-HF-LPME) and HPLC with diode array detection (HPLC-DAD).

Women are using estrogens for many purposes, such as to prevent pregnancy or miscarriage, or to treat menopausal symptoms. Estrogens also have been used to treat breast cancer which seems puzzling, since there is convincing evidence to support a link
