Product Description

Estradiol cypionate (Depoestradiol; β-Estradiol 17-cypionate) is the 17 β-cyclopentylpropinate ester of estradiol used in hormone therapy for menopausal symptoms and low estrogen levels in women. It acts by inhibiting ET-1 synthesis via estrogen receptor. Estradiol cypionate is a synthetic ester of the natural estrogen, estradiol. Compared to other commonly used estradiol esters, via the intramuscular route, estradiol cypionate is found to have the longest duration of action with a duration of ~11 days, while estradiol benzoate and estradiol valerate are found to last for 4-5 days and 7-8 days, respectively.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
ER
ln Vitro
Gastric cancer cells (MGC803, SGC7901, and BGC823) are not able to proliferate when exposed to estradiol cypionate (0-30 μM) for a period of 72 hours [4]. In the G1/S phase of gastric cancer cells (MGC803, SGC7901, and BGC823 cells), estradiol cypionate (10–25 μM) can cause cell cycle arrest and trigger apoptosis via the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway [4].
ln Vivo
In adolescent ovariectomized (OVX) rabbits, cortical bone density is increased by weekly intramuscular injections of estradiol cypionate (70 μg/kg) [2]. In dairy cows, the intramuscular injection of 1 mg of estradiol cypionate increases the incidence of estrus and pregnancy [3]. Estradiol cypionate (50-100mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection, every other day) inhibits tumor growth in MGC803 nude mice [4].
Enzyme Assay
Estradiol cypionate inhibits proliferation and promotes apoptosis of gastric cancer by regulating AKT ubiquitination: Gastric cancer is a common gastrointestinal malignancy worldwide, with a high mortality rate and poor prognosis. Multidrug resistance remains a major obstacle to successful treatment for patients. Hence, it is of great significance to develop novel therapies to potentiate the anti-tumor effect. In this study, we have investigated the effect of estradiol cypionate (ECP) on gastric cancer in vitro and vivo. Our data show that ECP inhibited the proliferation, promoted apoptosis, and caused G1/S phase arrest of gastric cancer cells. The mechanism by which ECP promoted apoptosis of gastric cancer cells was related to the downregulation of AKT protein expression caused by the increased ubiquitination modification levels of AKT, which finally inhibited the over-activation of the PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling pathway. In vivo tumorigenesis experiments showed that ECP significantly inhibited the growth of gastric cancer cells, showing promise for clinical application. The above findings indicate that ECP inhibited the growth of gastric cancer and induced apoptosis through the PI3K /Akt/mTOR pathway. In summary, the efficacy showed in our data suggests that ECP is a promising anti-tumor compound for gastric cancer[4].

ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Absorption, Distribution and Excretion
When conjugated with aryl and alkyl groups for parenteral administration, the rate of absorption of oily preparations is slowed with a prolonged duration of action, such that a single intramuscular injection of estradiol valerate or estradiol cypionate is absorbed over several weeks.
Estradiol, estrone and estriol are excreted in the urine along with glucuronide and sulfate conjugates.
The distribution of exogenous estrogens is similar to that of endogenous estrogens. Estrogens are widely distributed in the body and are generally found in higher concentrations in the sex hormone target organs.
Metabolism / Metabolites
Exogenous estrogens are metabolized in the same manner as endogenous estrogens. Circulating estrogens exist in a dynamic equilibrium of metabolic interconversions. These transformations take place mainly in the liver. Estradiol is converted reversibly to estrone, and both can be converted to estriol, which is the major urinary metabolite. Estrogens also undergo enterohepatic recirculation via sulfate and glucuronide conjugation in the liver, biliary secretion of conjugates into the intestine, and hydrolysis in the gut followed by reabsorption. In postmenopausal women, a significant proportion of the circulating estrogens exist as sulfate conjugates, especially estrone sulfate, which serves as a circulating reservoir for the formation of more active estrogens.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Effects During Pregnancy and Lactation
◉ Summary of Use during Lactation
Estradiol cypionate has not been studied during breastfeeding. However, a similar drug, estradiol valerate, has been used to suppress lactation, usually in combination with testosterone. Generally, estradiol cypionate should be avoided in mothers wishing to breastfeed, especially if started before the milk supply is well established at about 6 weeks postpartum. The decrease in milk supply can happen over the first few days of estrogen exposure.
◉ Effects in Breastfed Infants
Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date.
◉ Effects on Lactation and Breastmilk
Another injection ester form of estradiol, estradiol valerate was previously used therapeutically to suppress lactation, usually in combination with testosterone.
A retrospective cohort study compared 371 women who received high-dose estrogen (either 3 mg of diethylstilbestrol or 150 mcg of ethinyl estradiol daily) during adolescence for adult height reduction to 409 women who did not receive estrogen. No difference in breastfeeding duration was found between the two groups, indicating that high-dose estrogen during adolescence has no effect on later breastfeeding.
Protein Binding
Estrogens circulate in the blood largely bound to sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and albumin.

Additional Infomation
Pharmacodynamics
Estrogen mediates its effects across the body through potent agonism of the Estrogen Receptor (ER), which is located in various tissues including in the breasts, uterus, ovaries, skin, prostate, bone, fat, and brain. Estradiol binds to both subtypes of the Estrogen Receptor: Estrogen Receptor Alpha (ERα) and Estrogen Receptor Beta (ERβ). Estradiol also acts as a potent agonist of G Protein-coupled Estrogen Receptor (GPER), which has recently been recognized as a major mediator of estradiol's rapid cellular effects.
