Estradiol dipropionate (BAN, JAN; brand names Agofollin, Diovocyclin, Progynon-DP, others) is a synthetic ester, specifically the 3,17-dipropanoyl ester, of the natural estrogen, estradiol.[1][2] Alongside estradiol benzoate, estradiol dipropionate was one of the first estradiol esters to be developed, having been patented in 1937,[3] and has been marketed since at least the 1940s.[4]
