Abstract
A series of di-alkyl ethers of stilbestrol were assayed on the rat. A series of mono-alkyl ethers of stilbestrol and hexesterol were also assayed. Stilbestrol monomethyl ether was highly effective and comparatively nontoxic orally and by inj. when used for treatment in the menopausal syndrome. The results of the clinical use of this drug in 49 cases are given. The cancerigenic activity of stilbestrol monomethyl ether was investigated and compared to that of other natural and synthetic estrogens.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
