| | Ethinyl Estradiol Usage And Synthesis |
| Description | Ethynyl estradiol (EE) is a synthetic form of estrogen that is majorly employed in numerous hormonal contraceptives in combination with progestins. Occasionally, it is also used as a constituent of menopausal hormone therapy with combination with progestins for treating menopausal symptoms. Previously, the drug was used solely for numerous indications such as treatment of prostate cancer and gynecological disorders.
Ethynyl estradiol is a semisynthetic alkylated estradiol with a 17-alpha-ethinyl substitution. It is normally administred orally and is marketed mostly as a combination oral contraceptive under various brand names such as Alesse, Tri-cyclen, Yasmin, and Triphasil. A black box warning is normally labelled on the packaging that states that the drug should not be used in smoking women who are over 35 years old as it can lead to increased risk of serious cardiovascular side effects.
| | History | Ethynyl estradiol was first developed in 1930 and officially introduced for medical used in 1943. In the 1960s, the drug was widely used in birth control pills. EE is currently found in most combined forms of birth control pills, which makes it one of the most used estrogens.
| | Indications | Ethynyl estradiol is used for treatment of moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms such as night sweats, hot flashes, and flushing that are associated with the menopause, prostatic carcinoma-palliative therapy of advanced disease, female hypogonadism, as emergency contraceptive, breast cancer, and as an oral contraceptive.
| | Pharmacodynamics | Ethynyl estradiol is a synthetic derivative of the natural estrogen estradiol. The drug is one of two widely used in oral contraceptive pills. Mestranol is the other drug that is normally converted to ethinyl estradiol before it becomes biologically active. EE is used together with norethindrone as an oral contraceptive agent.
| | Mechanism of Action | The estrogen in the drug diffuse into their target cells before interacting with a protein receptor. Notably, target cells include the female reproductive tract, the hypothalamus, the mammary gland, and the pituitary. Estrogens act by increasing the hepatic synthesis of thyroid binding globulin (TBG), sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) as well as other serum proteins. It also acts by suppressing follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from anterior pituitary. All these activities are initiated by fist binding to the estrogen receptors. The hypothalamic-pituitary system is suppressed by the combination of an estrogen with a progestin, which decreases the secretion of gonadorotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH).
| | Medical Uses | Ethinyl Estradiol is majorly used to control pregnancy after sex as a contraception in combined oral contraceptives (COC), which are also referred to as birth control. EE is not only used in preventing pregnancy but is also employed in the treatment of absence of menstruation, acne, as well as symptoms during menstruation. It majorly works by preventing ovulation (the release of an egg) during the menstrual cycle. Further, it acts by making the vaginal fluid thicker to help in preventing sperm from fertilizing the released egg. It also changes the lining of the uterus to prevent attachment of a fertilized egg. EE also works by making the menstruation cycle more regular, decreasing blood loss and painful periods, and decreasing the risk of ovarian cysts.EE is also used as menopausal hormone therapy (HRT) which has numerous benefits such as vaginal itching, vaginal dryness (which normally causes pain during sexual intercourse), and depressed mood. Previously, it was used as a constituent of feminizing hormone therapy for transgender women; however, the use of estradiol has largely superseded it in this therapy. The drug can also be used in preventing osteoporosis and in treating hypogonadism in women and has been used as palliative care for breast cancer in women and prostate cancer in men.
| | Contraindications | Ethnynyl estradiol should not be prescribed to individuals with history of susceptibility to venous or arterial thrombosis (blood clots) as it can lead to increased cardiovascular problems such as myocardial infarction, venous thromboembolism, and ischemic stroke. As such, it women with acute deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, any vascular disease history of DVT/PE, and complicated valvular heart disease are not advised to take the drug.
| | Side Effects | The side effects of EE include vomiting, nausea, headache, tenderness of the breast, abdominal cramps/bloating, swelling of the feet/ankles, and change in weight. In case of severe effects, one should immediately contact the doctor. EE can also cause irregular periods, which is considered normal.
| | Precautions | Before taking EE, it is important to inform the doctor or pharmacist if you allergic to the drug or to any other estrogens such as mestranol. It is also important to inform the doctor if one has a medical history of blood clots, for instance in the eyes, legs, and lungs. The medication can also affect blood sugar levels if one is diabetic. However, it is important to monitor the blood sugar levels and share it with the doctor in case one is using the drug.
| | Interactions | Drug interactions may change how EE works or might increase its side effects. Products that can interact with the drug include aromatase inhibitors (such as exemestane and anastrozole), tizanidine, tamoxifen, and tranexamic. It can also interact with certain combination products that are normally used to treat chronic hepatitis C. some drugs interact with EE by decreasing the amount of the drug in the body.
| | Description | Estrogens direct the development of the female genotype in embryogenesis and at puberty. Estradiol is the major estrogen secreted by the premenopausal ovary. Ethynyl estradiol is a synthetic analog of 17β-estradiol . A USP-approved grade of ethynyl estradiol is often formulated in combination with a progestin such as norgestrel /levonorgestrel or desogestrel and provided for use as an oral contraceptive. Efficacy of oral administration of ethynyl estradiol is facilitated by the ethynyl substitution at the C-17 position, which inhibits first pass hepatic metabolism. Ethynyl estradiol is also rapidly and almost completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. | | Chemical Properties | Off-White to Light-Yellow Crystalline Powder | | Chemical Properties | Estradiol, 17-β-is an odorless white to yellow

powder. Odorless. | | Originator | Estinyl,Schering,US,1944 | | Uses | estrogen, plus progestogen as oral contraceptive | | Uses | A synthetic estradiol analog. | | Uses | A synthetic steroid with high oral estrogenic potency | | Uses | A metabolite of 17a-Ethynylestradiol | | Definition | ChEBI: A 3-hydroxy steroid that is estradiol substituted by a ethynyl group at position 17. It is a xenoestrogen synthesized from estradiol and has been shown to exhibit high estrogenic potency on oral administration. | | Manufacturing Process | In about 250 cc of liquid ammonia (cooled with dry ice and acetone) are
dissolved about 7.5 g of potassium and into the solution acetylene is passed
until the blue color has disappeared (about 3 hours). Then slowly a solution or
suspension of 3 g of estrone in 150 cc of benzene and 50 cc of ether is added.
The freezing mixture is removed, the whole allowed to stand for about 2
hours and the solution further stirred overnight. Thereupon the reaction
solution is treated with ice and water, acidified with sulfuric acid to an acid
reaction to Congo red and the solution extracted five times with ether. The
combined ether extracts are washed twice with water, once with 5% sodium
carbonate solution and again with water until the washing water is neutral.
Then the ether is evaporated, the residue dissolved in a little methanol and
diluted with water. The separated product is recrystallized from aqueous
methanol. The yield amounts to 2.77 g. The 17-ethinyl-estradiol-3,17 thus obtained melts at 142°C to 144°C. | | Brand name | Estinyl (Schering); Feminone
(Pharmacia & Upjohn); Lynoral (Organon). | | Therapeutic Function | Estrogen | | General Description | 17 -Ethinyl estradiol has thegreatest advantage over other estradiol products of beingorally active. It is equal to estradiol in potency by injectionbut is 15 to 20 times more orally active. The primary metabolicpath for ethinyl estradiol is 2-hydroxylation bycytochrome P450 isozyme 3A4 (CYP3A4), followed byconversion to the 2- and 3-methyl ethers by catechol-Omethyltransferase.The 3-methyl ether of ethinyl estradiolis mestranol, USP, used in oral contraceptives. Mestranolis a prodrug that is 3-O-demethylated to the active ethinylestradiol. An oral dose of about 50 μg of mestranol has anestrogenic action approximately equivalent to 35 g oforal ethinyl estradiol. The demethylation is mainly mediatedby CYP2C9. | | General Description | Fine white to creamy white powder. A synthetic steroid.

The synthetic 17α-ethynyl derivative of estradiol-17β. The
17α-ethynyl group increases the in vivo potency of estradiol-
17β by blocking the action of 17β-dehydrogenase, a major
pathway of estradiol-17β metabolic inactivation. It is thus
active orally and is among the most potent of the known estrogenic
compounds. | | Safety Profile | Confirmed carcinogen

When heated to decomposition it emits
acrid smoke and irritating fumes. See also
ESTRADIOL | | Synthesis | Ethinyl estradiol, 17|á-ethinyl-1,3,5(10)-estratrien-3-17|?-diol (28.1.26),
is made either by condensing estrone with acetylene in the presence of potassium hydroxide
(Favorskii reaction), or by reacting sodium acetylenide in liquid ammonia with estrone. 
| | Potential Exposure | The working environment may be
contaminated during sex hormone manufacture, especially
during the extraction and purification of natural steroid hormones; grinding of raw materials; handling of powdered
products and recrystallization. Airborne particles of sex
hormones may be absorbed through the skin, ingested or
inhaled. Enteric absorption results in quick inactivation of
sex hormones in the liver. The rate of inactivation is
decreased for the oral, alkylated steroid hormones (methyl
testosterone, anabolic steroids, etc.). Sex hormones may
accumulate and reach relatively high levels even if their
absorption is intermittent. Consequently, repeated absorption of small amounts may be detrimental to health.
Intoxication by sex hormones may occur in almost all the
exposed workers if preventive measures are not taken. The
effect in the industrial sector is more successful than
the agricultural one (chemical caponizing of cockerels by
stilbestrol implants and incorporation of estrogens in feed
for body weight gain promotion in beef cattle), where measures taken are summary and the number of cases of intoxication is consequently bigger | | First aid | Skin Contact: Flood all areas of body thathave contacted the substance with water. Do not wait toremove contaminated clothing; do it under the water stream.Use soap to help assure removal. Isolate contaminatedclothing when removed to prevent contact by others. EyeContact: Remove any contact lenses at once. Immediatelyflush eyes well with copious quantities of water or normalsaline for at least 20-30 min. Seek medical attention.Inhalation: Leave contaminated area immediately; breathefresh air. Proper respiratory protection must be supplied toany rescuers. If coughing, difficult breathing, or any othersymptoms develop, seek medical attention at once, even ifsymptoms develop many hours after exposure. Ingestion:Contact a physician, hospital, or poison center at once. Ifthe victim is unconscious or convulsing, do not inducevomiting or give anything by mouth. Assure that thepatient’s airway is open and lay him on his side with hishead lower than his body and transport immediately to a medical facility. If conscious and not convulsing, give aglass of water to dilute the substance. Vomiting should notbe induced without a physician’s advice. | | storage | Color Code—Blue: Health Hazard/Poison: Storein a secure poison location.
