Abstract
The anticoagulant and estrogenic effects of prolame, N-(3-hydroxy-1,3,5(10)-estratrien-17 beta-yl)-3-hydroxypropylamine, are described. A single subcutaneous injection of prolame in male mice, ovariectomized mice, adult and infant male rats, produced dose-dependent increases of blood clotting time, which could be observed with the larger doses even after 4 days. In ovariectomized mice, prolame produced vaginal cornifications of shorter duration than those produced by estradiol-17 beta. The evidence suggests that, in contrast with currently used estrogens, prolame would not generate cardiovascular accidents if used for the treatment of prostatic carcinoma; it could also be exceptionally effective for the prevention of thrombosis.
