Estradiol acetylsalicylate, or estradiol 3-acetylsalicylate, is a

acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) ester of estradiol – which was described in the late 1980s and was never marketed.[1][2][3][4][5] In dogs, the oral bioavailability of estradiol acetylsalicylate was found to be 17-fold higher than that of unmodified estradiol.[1][4] However, a subsequent study found that the oral bioavailability of estradiol and estradiol acetylsalicylate did not differ significantly in rats (4.3% and 4.2%, respectively), suggestive of a major species difference.[2][4][6]
