Diethylstilbestrol dipropionate
Diethylstilbestrol dipropionate (DESDP) (brand names Agostilben, Biokeral, Clinestrol, Cyclen, Estilbin, Estril, Neobenzoestrol, Orestol, Oroestrol, Ostregenin, Prostilbene, Stilbestriol DP, Stilboestrolum Dipropionicum, Stilboestrol, Synestrin, Willestrol, others), or diethylstilbestrol dipropanoate, also known as stilboestrol dipropionate (BANM), is a synthetic nonsteroidal estrogen of the stilbestrol group that was formerly marketed widely throughout Europe.[1][2] It is an ester of diethylstilbestrol with propionic acid,[1] and is more slowly absorbed in the body than diethylstilbestrol.[3] The medication has been said to be one of the most potent estrogens known.[4]
