Estradiol distearate

Estradiol distearate (EDS), also known as estradiol dioctadecanoate, is an estrogen and an estrogen ester which was never marketed.[1][2] It is a long-acting prodrug of estradiol in the body.[2]

Footnotes: ^a = Length of ester in carbon atoms for straight-chain fatty acids or approximate length of ester in carbon atoms for aromatic fatty acids. ^b = Relative estradiol content by weight (i.e., relative estrogenic exposure). ^c = Experimental or predicted octanol/water partition coefficient (i.e., lipophilicity/hydrophobicity). Retrieved from PubChem, ChemSpider, and DrugBank. ^d = Also known as estradiol normustine phosphate. ^e = Polymer of estradiol phosphate (~13 repeat units). ^f = Relative molecular weight or estradiol content per repeat unit. ^g = logP of repeat unit (i.e., estradiol phosphate).
