NCIt definition : The orally available disodium salt, monohydrate, of estramustine phosphate, a synthetic
molecule that combines estradiol and nornitrogen mustard through a carbamate link.
Estramustine and its major metabolite estramustine bind to microtubule-associated
proteins (MAPs) and tubulin, thereby inhibiting microtubule dynamics and leading to
anaphase arrest in a dose-dependent fashion. This agent also exhibits anti-androgenic
effects.;
