Estradiol dipropionate (BAN, JAN) (brand names Agofollin, Di-Ovocyclin, Progynon DP, others) is a semisynthetic, steroidal estrogen that is or has been marketed in the United States and Europe.[1][2] It is the 3,17β-dipropanoyl ester of estradiol.[1][2] Along with estradiol benzoate, estradiol dipropionate was one of the first estradiol esters to be developed, having been patented in 1937,[3] was assessed in clinical studies by 1939,[4] and has been marketed by Schering as Progynon DP and Ciba Pharmaceutical Products as Di-Ovocylin since at least 1940.[5][6] Relative to estradiol benzoate, estradiol dipropionate has enhanced and very prolonged effects.[4] Prior to the development and introduction of estradiol valerate and estradiol cypionate in the 1950s, estradiol dipropionate and estradiol benzoate were the most widely used estradiol esters.[7]
