ICI-85966 (former tentative brand name Stilbostat), also known as diethylstilbestrol (DES) bis(di(2-chloroethyl)carbamate), is a synthetic, nonsteroidal estrogen and alkylating antineoplastic agent of the stilbestrol group and a cytostatic nitrogen mustard ester of diethylstilbestrol (DES) that was developed for the treatment of breast cancer and prostate cancer but was never marketed. (possibly due to the toxcitity of DES) It was found to markedly improve the clinical state in approximately 65% of women treated with it for advanced breast cancer in a clinical study.
