Estradiol enantate(EEnorE2-EN), also spelledestradiol enanthateand sold under the brand namesPerlutalandTopaselamong others, is anestrogenmedication which is used inhormonal birth controlfor women.[1][2][11]It is formulated incombinationwithdihydroxyprogesterone acetophenide(DHPA; algestone acetophenide), aprogestin,and is used specifically as acombined injectable contraceptive.[1][2]Estradiol enantate is not available for medical use alone.[12][13][14][15]The medication, in combination with DHPA, is given byinjection into muscleonce a month.[1][2]

Side effectsof estradiol enantate includebreast tenderness,breast enlargement,nausea,headache,andfluid retention.[16]Estradiol enantate is anestrogenand hence is anagonistof theestrogen receptor,thebiological targetofestrogenslikeestradiol.[6][5]It is anestrogen esterand a long-lastingprodrugofestradiolin the body.[5][6]Because of this, it is considered to be anaturalandbioidenticalform of estrogen.[5][17]

Estradiol enantate was first described by 1954,[18]and was first studied in combination with DHPA as a combined injectable contraceptive in 1964.[19][20]The combination was introduced for clinical use by the mid-1970s.[21][22][23]Estradiol enantate is not available as a standalone medication (i.e., by itself without DHPA).[15]The combination is available inLatin AmericaandHong Kong,and was also previously marketed inSpainandPortugal.[15][2][13]

Medical uses

[edit]

Estradiol enantate is used in combination with the progestin DHPA as a once-monthly combined injectable contraceptive for women inLatin AmericaandHong Kong.[1][2][24][15]Estradiol enantate has been studied infeminizing hormone therapyfor transgender women as well.[25]The combination of estradiol enantate and DHPA has likewise been used by transgender women for such purposes.[26]

Available forms

[edit]

The following forms of estradiol enantate are or have been available for use:[11][27][28][23][2]

  • Estradiol enantate 10 mg and DHPA 150 mg (brand names Perlutal, Topasel, many others)
  • Estradiol enantate 5 mg and DHPA 75 mg (brand names Anafertin, Patector NF, Yectames)
  • Estradiol enantate 10 mg and DHPA 120 mg (brand names Unalmes, Yectuna)
  • Estradiol enantate 10 mg and DHPA 75 mg (brand name Ova Repos; discontinued)

A 6 mg estradiol enantate and 90 mg DHPA formulation was also studied, but was never marketed.[29][30][31]The combination of estradiol enantate and DHPA has also been studied at other doses ranging from 5 to 50 mg estradiol enantate and 75 to 200 mg DHPA.[32]

The combination of estradiol enantate and DHPA is provided inampoulesat estradiol enantate concentrations of 5 mg/mL and 10 mg/mL.

Contraindications

[edit]

Contraindicationsof estrogens includecoagulationproblems,cardiovascular diseases,liver disease,and certainhormone-sensitive cancerssuch asbreast cancerandendometrial cancer,among others.[33][34][35][36]

Side effects

[edit]

Theside effectsof estradiol enantate are the same as those of estradiol. Examples of such side effects includebreast tendernessandenlargement,nausea,bloating,edema,headache,andmelasma.[16]The combination of estradiol enantate and DHPA as a combined injectable contraceptive has shown no adverse effects onliverfunction,lipid metabolism,orcoagulation.[37][2]

ABraziliancase reportof aprolactinomain atransgender womantreated with 10 mg estradiol enantate every 2 weeks exists.[38][39]WhileDHPAwas not mentioned in this instance,[38][39]estradiol enantate is normally formulated in combination with DHPA including in Brazil.[12][14]

Overdose

[edit]

Symptomsof estrogenoverdosagemay includenausea,vomiting,bloating,increased weight,water retention,breast tenderness,vaginal discharge,heavy legs,andleg cramps.[33]These side effects can be diminished by reducing the estrogen dosage.[33]

Interactions

[edit]

Inhibitorsandinducersofcytochrome P450may influence themetabolismof estradiol and by extension circulating estradiol levels.[40]

Pharmacodynamics

[edit]

Estradiol enantate is anestradiol ester,or aprodrugofestradiol.[5][6]As such, it is anestrogen,or anagonistof theestrogen receptors.[5][6]Estradiol enantate is of about 41% highermolecular weightthan estradiol due to the presence of its C17βenantateester.[41][15]Because estradiol enantate is a prodrug of estradiol, it is considered to be anaturalandbioidenticalform of estrogen.[5][17]

The combination of 10 mg estradiol enantate and 150 mg DHPA as a once-monthly combined injectable contraceptive (which achieves levels of estradiol of around 350 pg/mL)[10][42][43]has been found to have little to no effect on many markers of estrogen-modulatedliver protein synthesis,including circulating levels ofHDLandLDL cholesterol,copper,ceruloplasmin,total and freecortisol,corticosteroid-binding globulin,andsex hormone-binding globulin.[44][45]However, it was found to significantly increase levels oftriglyceridesand to significantly decrease levels of total and freetestosterone.[45]In contrast to the estradiol enantate-containing combined injectable contraceptive, low-doseethinylestradiol-containingbirth control pillsproduce highly significant changes in all of the preceding parameters.[44][45]

Studies in women and femalecapuchin monkeyshave found that injections of estradiol enantate and DHPA significantly alter levels ofcoagulation factors.[46][47]

The clinicalestrogeniceffects of estradiol enantate andethinylestradiolhave been compared in other studies as well.[48]

Pharmacokinetics

[edit]

When estradiol enantate is administered in anoil solutionbyintramuscular injection,adepoteffect occurs, and this results in it having a longduration of action.[10][6][49]The duration of action of estradiol enantate is considerably longer than that of various otherestradiol esters,such asestradiol benzoateandestradiol valerate,whereas its duration is shorter than that ofestradiol undecylate.[10][50][51]In general, the longer thefatty acidesterchain,the morelipophilicthe estradiol ester, the more slowly it is released from the depot and absorbed into the circulation, and the longer its duration of action.[6][49]

Thepharmacokineticsof estradiol enantate have been assessed in a number of studies.[10][52][42][7][43][53]It has usually been studied in combination with DHPA.[10][52][42][43]Following anintramuscular injectionof estradiol enantate, levels of estradiol have been found to peak after 3 to 8 days.[10][43][7]Maximal levels of estradiol after a 5 mg injection of estradiol enantate have been found to be about 163 to 209 pg/mL and after a 10 mg injection of estradiol enantate have been found to be about 283 to 445 pg/mL.[10][42][43]However, one outlying study reported peak estradiol levels of 850 pg/mL after an intramuscular injection of 10 mg estradiol enantate in three postmenopausal women.[7]It usedradioimmunoassayfor the determinations, with no mention ofchromatographic separation.[7]Estradiol levels following an intramuscular injection of 10 mg estradiol enantate have been found to return to baseline levels of around 50 pg/mL after about 20 to 30 days.[42][7][5][53][10]However, ametabolicstudy found that traces ofradiolabeledestradiol enantate remained detectable in blood for at least 30 to 40 days and for as long as 60 days.[52]Studies have reported that theelimination half-lifeof estradiol enantate after a single 10 mg intramuscular injection was 5.6 to 7.5 days.[7][1][8]Thevolume of distributionof estradiol enantate has been reported to be 5.087 L.[9]Estradiol enantate isexcretedpreferentially inurine.[22]

There were concerns about possible accumulation of estradiol enantate and consequent estrogenic overexposure with once-monthly combined injectable contraceptives containing the medication due its longduration,and this may have limited the use of such combined injectable contraceptives.[8][10]Subsequent clinical studies have found that there is very limited or no accumulation of estradiol enantate when it is used in once-a-month injectable contraceptives.[8][37][2]

Chemistry

[edit]

Estradiol enantate, also known as estradiol 17β-enantate or estra-1,3,5(10)-triene-3,17β-diol 17β-heptanoate, is asyntheticestranesteroidand the C17βenantate(heptanoate)fatty acidesterofestradiol.[41][15]Other common esters of estradiol used clinically includeestradiol benzoate,estradiol cypionate,estradiol undecylate,andestradiol valerate.[15]Estradiol dienantate(component ofClimacteron), or estradiol 3,17β-dienantate, has also been used.[41][54][55][56]

The experimentaloctanol/water partition coefficient(logP) of estradiol enanthate is 6.7.[57]

The combination of EEn 10 mg and DHPA 150 mg was developed under the developmental brand name Deladroxate, but this brand name was never used commercially.[23][2]

Availability

[edit]
Known availability of estradiol enantate in countries throughout the world (as of September 2018).

Estradiol enantate has been marketed in combination with DHPA as acombined injectable contraceptivein at least 19 countries, mostly inLatin America.[11][67][28][68][13][12][65][66]A few different preparations, with varying doses of EEn and DHPA and varying availability, have been introduced.[28][11][67][27][23][2][10]These formulations have the following approval and availability (= discontinued in this country):[13][12][65][66][27][28][11][67][2]

EEn is also available inCanadain combination withestradiol benzoateandtestosterone enantateforveterinaryuse as Uni-Bol.[70]

Usage

[edit]

EEn/DHPA is the most widely used combined injectable contraceptive in Latin America.[71]It was estimated in 1995 that EEn/DHPA was used as a combined injectable contraceptive in Latin America by at least 1 million women.[28]However, combined injectable contraceptives like EEn/DHPA are unlikely to constitute a large proportion of total contraceptive use in the countries in which they are available.[28]

Deladroxate (commercially labelled as Perlutan, Topasel, Agurin, Horprotal and Uno-Ciclo in various countries), is a combination of 150 mg dihydroxyprogesterone acetophenide and 10 mg estradiol enanthate, and is available in many Latin American countries and Spain. The method is highly effective, without a single pregnancy reported in large clinical trials (Koetsawang 1994). Although available since the 1960s, the method has not been studied as extensively as Cyclofem or Mesigyna. The original manufacturer withdrew support due to toxicological concerns with dihydroxyprogesterone acetophenide, and clinical evaluations continue to be published. A recent dose-finding trial compared the standard available dose of 150/10 with a lower dose of 90/6, and concluded the lower dose was equally effective (Coutinho et al., 1997).
