Estradiol valerate (β-estradiol 17-valerate; Estraval; Progynova; Valergen; Altadiol; Deladiol; Delestrogen), the 17β-valerate ester of estradiol, is a synthetic, steroidal estrogen and an estrogen ester commonly used in combination with other steroid hormones in hormone replacement therapies. It acts as a prodrug of estradiol, and hence, is considered to be a natural, bioidentical form of estrogen. Along with estradiol cypionate, estradiol valerate is one of the most widely used esters of estradiol. Estradiol, or more precisely, the 17-beta-isomer of estradiol, is a human sex hormone and steroid, and the primary female sex hormone.

Cell Assay |
Previous studies have shown that estradiol induces new dendritic spines and synapses on hippocampal CA1 pyramidal cells. We have assessed the consequences of estradiol-induced dendritic spines on CA1 pyramidal cell intrinsic and synaptic electrophysiological properties. Hippocampal slices were prepared from ovariectomized rats treated with either estradiol or oil vehicle. CA1 pyramidal cells were recorded and injected with biocytin to visualize spines. The association of dendritic spine density and electrophysiological parameters for each cell was then tested using linear regression analysis. We found a negative relationship between spine density and input resistance; however, no other intrinsic property measured was significantly associated with dendritic spine density. Glutamate receptor autoradiography demonstrated an estradiol-induced increase in binding to NMDA, but not AMPA, receptors. We then used input/output (I/O) curves (EPSP slope vs stimulus intensity) to determine whether the sensitivity of CA1 pyramidal cells to synaptic input is correlated with dendritic spine density. Consistent with the lack of an estradiol effect on AMPA receptor binding, we observed no relationship between the slope of an I/O curve generated under standard recording conditions, in which the AMPA receptor dominates the EPSP, and spine density. However, recording the pharmacologically isolated NMDA receptor-mediated component of the EPSP revealed a significant correlation between I/O slope and spine density. These results indicate that, in parallel with estradiol-induced increases in spine/synapse density and NMDA receptor binding, estradiol treatment increases sensitivity of CA1 pyramidal cells to NMDA receptor-mediated synaptic input; further, sensitivity to NMDA receptor-mediated synaptic input is well correlated with dendritic spine density[1].

ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Absorption, Distribution and Excretion
IM Injection: 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. Natazia: After oral administration of estradiol valerate, cleavage to 17β-estradiol and valeric acid takes place during absorption by the intestinal mucosa or in the course of the first liver passage. This gives rise to estradiol and its metabolites, estrone and other metabolites. Maximum serum estradiol concentrations of 73.3 pg/mL are reached at a median of approximately 6 hours (range: 1.5–12 hours) and the area under the estradiol concentration curve [AUC(0–24h)] was 1301 pg·h/mL after single ingestion of a tablet containing 3 mg estradiol valerate under fasted condition on Day 1 of the 28-day sequential regimen. Estradiol, estrone and estriol are excreted in the urine along with glucuronide and sulfate conjugates. Metabolism / Metabolites Exogenous estrogens are metabolized using the same mechanism as endogenous estrogens. Estrogens are partially metabolized by cytochrome P450. |

Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Effects During Pregnancy and Lactation
◉ Summary of Use during Lactation Estradiol valerate has not been studied during breastfeeding. Injectable estradiol valerate has been used to suppress lactation, usually in combination with testosterone. Generally, it 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. Oral estradiol valerate is only available in the United States in a combination oral contraceptive product that also contains dienogest. Based on the available evidence, expert opinion holds that nonhormonal methods are preferred during breastfeeding and progestin-only contraceptives are preferred over combined oral contraceptives in breastfeeding women, especially during the first 4 weeks postpartum. For further information, consult the record entitled, Contraceptives, Oral, Combined. ◉ Effects in Breastfed Infants Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date. ◉ Effects on Lactation and Breastmilk Estradiol valerate injection 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. |

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. |
