Estradiol 3-propionate, or 3-propanoylestradiol, also known as estra-1,3,5(10)-triene-3,17β-diol 3-propionate, is a semisynthetic, steroidal estrogen that was never marketed.[1][2] It is an estrogen ester, specifically, a propionic acid ester of estradiol, and acts as a prodrug to it in vivo.[1][2] The chemical structure of estradiol 3-propionate is contained within estradiol dipropionate, estrapronicate, and orestrate,[3] all of which are also estradiol esters.[2]
