Stilbestrol, or stilboestrol, also known as 4,4'-dihydroxystilbene or 4,4'-stilbenediol, is a stilbenoid and the parent compound of a group of non-steroidal estrogens that includes, most notably, diethylstilbestrol.[1][2] The term "stilbestrol" is often used incorrectly to refer to diethylstilbestrol, but they are not the same compound.[1]

The stilbestrol estrogens include the following:

Of the stilbestrol estrogens, diethylstilbestrol, hexestrol, and benzestrol were the most well-known.[3]

The stilbestrol estrogens bind with high affinity to both ERα and ERβ.[4]

Resveratrol is a stilbenoid with estrogenic properties that is not a silbestrol derivative (it is 3,4',5-stilbenetriol).[5]
