Disclosed is the use of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of equilenin-3-sulfate ester for inhibiting or treating free radical induced disease states. The pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the 3-sulfate ester is an alkali metal salt, alkaline earth metal salt, ammonium salt, alkylamine salt containing 1-6 carbon atoms, or dialkylamine salt containing 1-6 carbon atoms in each alkyl group. The compound can be used to inhibit endogenous free radical involvement in the development of cancers, central nervous system disorders, Alzheimer's disease, bone disease, aging, inflammatory disorders, peripheral vascular disease, rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune diseases, respiratory distress, emphysema, prevention of reperfusion injury, viral hepatitis, chronic active hepatitis, tuberculosis, psoriasis, systemic lupus erythematosus, adult respiratory distress syndrome, central nervous system trauma and stroke, or injury during reperfusion procedures.
