Abstract

The biological properties of poly-estradiol phosphate (PEP), a water soluble high molecular weight polyester of phosphoric acid and estradiol-17[beta], were investigated. Duration of the estrogenic effect produced by poly-estradiol phosphate was found to be much longer than that of estradiol benzoate or ethinyl estradiol as measured by the mouse vaginal smear technique.
