The paper chromatography of oestrogens

Abstract

The separations of steroid oestrogens achieved by paper chromatography have been reviewed with special reference to studied involving epimeric oestrogens and to oestrogens which have been isolated recently. Methods of detection of these compounds on paper chromatograms have also been discussed. The mobilities of thirty-four different oestrogens and their derivatives in many solvent systems have been tabulated.

It is hoped that this review will be found useful in providing a collection of data from which separations of mixtures of oestrogens can be planned.
