Ethinylestradiol sulfonate (EES), sold under the brand names Deposiston and Turisteron among others, is an estrogen medication which has been used in birth control pills for women and in the treatment of prostate cancer in men.[1][5][2][3][6] It has also been investigated in the treatment of breast cancer in women.[4][7] The medication was combined with norethisterone acetate in birth control pills.[1] EES is taken by mouth once per week.[1][5][2][3]
Side effects of EES in men include breast tenderness, gynecomastia, feminization, sexual dysfunction, and cardiovascular complications, among others.[5][2] EES is a synthetic estrogen and hence is an agonist of the estrogen receptor, the biological target of estrogens like estradiol.[2][3] It is an estrogen ester and a long-lasting prodrug of ethinylestradiol in the body.[2][3] EES is rapidly taken up into fat and slowly released from it, resulting in a biological half-life of about 6 days with the oral route and allowing the medication to be taken only once per week.[2][4]
EES was first synthesized in 1967, was first introduced as a birth control pill in 1978, and was introduced for the treatment of prostate cancer in 1980.[1][3] It has been marketed in Germany, but may no longer be available.[8][9][10]

6.2. New estrogens. In 1967, Jenapharm, in conjunction with the Academy of Sciences (Kurt Ponsold, Gu¨nter Bruns, and Kurt Schubert in Jena and Hans Schick and Bernard Lu¨cke in Berlin), started a program of searching for new estrogens. [...] orally administered, strongly active estrogens with a depot effect. [...] the second objective was successfully attained. The rationale that an a-branched alkanesulfonic acid ester of ethinyl estradiol with a medium chain length should lead to a depot effect without the danger of active ingredient accumulation on longer usage [15] led in 1978 to the first once-a-week oral contraceptive (DEPOSISTONt), a combination of ethinylestradiol 3-isopropylsulfonate (17) and norethisterone acetate [16]. TURISTERONt, an estrogenic monotherapy with compound 17 that can still justify its position today [17], followed in 1980, as a therapy of prostate cancer. [...]
