Abstract
SUMMARY: 1. A method is described for the isolation of miroestrol from Pueraria mirifica in about 50% overall yield. 2. Details of the oestrogenic potency of two derivatives of miroestrol are given. 3. Evidence is presented for the existence of a second, more water-soluble oestrogen in P. mirifica, and preliminary results are given of assays for oestrogen content of various parts of the P. mirifica plant and of other species of Pueraria.Keywords
