Estradiol enanthate, sold in a combination preparation under the brand names Perlutal and Topasel among others, is an estrogen medication which is used in hormonal birth control.[1][2] It is formulated in combination with dihydroxyprogesterone acetophenide (DHPA; algestone acetophenide), a progestin, and is used as a once-monthly combined injectable contraceptive.[1][2] It is given by injection into muscle once a month.[1][2]

Side effects of estradiol enanthate include breast tenderness, breast enlargement, nausea, headache, and fluid retention.[8] The drug is a synthetic estrogen and hence is an agonist of the estrogen receptor (ER), the biological target of estrogens like estradiol.[4][3] Estradiol enanthate is an estrogen ester and a long-lasting prodrug of estradiol in the body.[3][4] Because of this, it is considered to be a natural and bioidentical form of estrogen.[3][9]

Estradiol enanthate was first described by 1954,[10] and was first studied in combination with DHPA as a combined injectable contraceptive in 1964.[11][12] The combination was introduced for clinical use by the mid-1970s.[13][14][15] Estradiol enanthate is not available as a standalone medication (i.e., by itself without DHPA).[16] The combination is available in Latin America and Hong Kong, and was also previously marketed in Spain and Portugal.[16][2][17]

Medical uses

Estradiol enanthate is used in combination with the progestin DHPA as a once-monthly combined injectable contraceptive in Latin America and Hong Kong.[1][2][18][16] This combination has been said to also be used by "travestis" (a term for transgender women in some cultures, especially in South America) as a means of feminizing hormone therapy.[19]

There have been concerns about possible accumulation of estradiol enanthate and consequent estrogenic overexposure with once-monthly injection due to its long duration, and this may have limited its use.[6][20] However, in spite of this, clinical studies have found that there is very limited or no accumulation of estradiol enanthate when used as a once-a-month injectable contraceptive in combination with DHPA.[6][21][2]

Side effects

The side effects of estradiol enanthate are the same as those of estradiol. Examples of such side effects include breast tenderness and enlargement, nausea, bloating, edema, headache, and melasma.[8] The combination of estradiol enanthate and DHPA has shown no adverse effects on liver function, lipid metabolism, or coagulation.[21][2]

Pharmacology

Pharmacodynamics

Estradiol enanthate is an estradiol ester, or a prodrug of estradiol.[3][4] As such, it is an estrogen, or an agonist of the estrogen receptors.[3][4] Estradiol enanthate is of about 41% higher molecular weight than estradiol due to the presence of its C17β enanthate ester.[22][16] Because estradiol enanthate is a prodrug of estradiol, it is considered to be a natural and bioidentical form of estrogen.[3][9]

The combination of 10 mg estradiol enanthate and 150 mg DHPA as a once-monthly combined injectable contraceptive (which achieves levels of estradiol of around 350 pg/mL)[20][23][24] has been found to have little to no effect on many markers of estrogen-modulated liver protein synthesis including circulating levels of HDL and LDL cholesterol, copper, ceruloplasmin, total and free cortisol, corticosteroid-binding globulin, and sex hormone-binding globulin.[25] However, it was found to significantly increase levels of triglycerides and significantly decrease levels of total and free testosterone.[25] In contrast to the combined injectable contraceptive, an ethinylestradiol-containing birth control pill produced highly significant changes in all of the preceding parameters.[25]

Pharmacokinetics

Idealized curves of estradiol levels over a period of 30 days after injection of different estradiol esters in women.[20] Four data points were used to generate the curves (day 0, peak day, a third day, and day 30).[20] The measurements from which the points were drawn were taken at 24-hour intervals.[20] The estradiol esters were given mostly as combined injectable contraceptives together with a progestin.[20]

When estradiol enanthate is administered in an oil solution by intramuscular injection, a depot effect occurs, and this results in it having a long duration of action.[20][4][26] The duration of action of estradiol enanthate is considerably longer than that of various other estradiol esters such as estradiol benzoate, estradiol valerate, and estradiol cypionate, whereas its duration is shorter than that of estradiol undecylate.[20][27][28] In general, the longer the fatty acid ester chain, the more lipophilic the estradiol ester, the more slowly it is released from the depot and absorbed into the circulation, and the longer its duration of action.[4][26]

The pharmacokinetics of estradiol enanthate have been assessed in a number of studies.[20][29][23][5][24][30] It has usually been studied in combination with algestone acetophenide.[20][29][23][24] Following an intramuscular injection of estradiol enanthate, levels of estradiol have been found to peak after 4 to 8 days.[20][24] Maximal levels of estradiol after a 5 mg injection of estradiol enanthate have been found to be about 163 to 209 pg/mL and after a 10 mg injection about 283 to 445 pg/mL.[20][23][24] Estradiol levels have been found to return to baseline levels of about 50 pg/mL after around 30 days.[23][5][3][30] However, a metabolic study found that traces of radiolabeled estradiol enanthate remained detectable in blood for at least 30 to 40 days and as long as 60 days.[29] Studies have reported that the elimination half-life of estradiol enanthate after a single 10 mg intramuscular injection was 5.6 to 7.5 days.[5][1][6] The volume of distribution of estradiol enanthate has been reported to be 5.087 L.[7] Estradiol enanthate is excreted preferentially in urine.[14]

Chemistry

Estradiol enanthate, also known as estradiol 17β-enanthate or estra-1,3,5(10)-triene-3,17β-diol 17β-heptanoate, is a synthetic estrane steroid and the C17β enanthate (heptanoate) fatty acid ester of estradiol.[22][16] Other common esters of estradiol used clinically include estradiol benzoate, estradiol cypionate, estradiol undecylate, and estradiol valerate.[16] Estradiol dienanthate (component of Climacteron), or estradiol 3,17β-dienanthate, has also been used.[22][31][32][33]

History

Estradiol enanthate was first described in the literature by 1954.[10][34][35][28][36][37] The first clinical study of estradiol enanthate and DHPA as a combined injectable contraceptive was conducted in 1964.[11][12] The combination was marketed by the mid-1970s.[13][14][15]

Natural estrogens considered here include: [...] Esters of 17β-estradiol, such as estradiol valerate, estradiol benzoate and estradiol cypionate. Esterification aims at either better absorption after oral administration or a sustained release from the depot after intramuscular administration. During absorption, the esters are cleaved by endogenous esterases and the pharmacologically active 17β-estradiol is released; therefore, the esters are considered as natural estrogens.
