Estriol (also called NSC12169; NSC 12169; NSC-12169; Oestriol) is a potent antagonist of the G-protein coupled estrogen receptor in estrogen receptor-negative breast cancer cells. Estriols has been successfully used in treating post-menopausal women. Its efficacy is due to the interference between estradiol-induced positive cooperative binding and receptor dimerization.

ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Absorption, Distribution and Excretion
Estriol is readily absorbed following intravaginal application. Peak serum estriol concentrations are generally observed within 2 hours following intravaginal application and remain elevated for 6 hours. Systemic bioavailability on vaginal administration is better than after oral administration. Intravaginal application of 1 mg estriol in women with senile atrophy of the vaginal epithelium results in serum levels similar to those seen after oral administration of 10 mg estriol. Plasma estriol levels increased from <90pmol/L (26 pg/mL) about fifty fold over a few hours after intravaginal administration of Gynest Cream. Eight to ten hours after administration, 50% of women still had estriol levels above 90pmol/L (26 pg/mL). Estriol circulates with the blood, about 14% free, 8% bound to SHBG and the rest bound to albumin. More than 95% of estriol is excreted in the urine, predominantly in the form of glucuronides. Metabolism / Metabolites Primary metabolites of estriol include the 16-alpha-glucuronide, 3-glucuronide, 3-sulfate and 3-sulfate 16-alpha-glucuronide. The metabolic disposition of estrogens includes oxidative metabolism (largely hydroxylation) and conjugative metabolism by glucuronidation, sulfonation and/or O-methylation. Estradiol is converted to estrone by a 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase; the estrone produced is further metabolized to 16alpha-hydroxyoestrone and then to estriol. Estriol is a common metabolite of estrone and estradiol-17-beta in animals and in humans. Estriol is excreted in humans as conjugated and unconjugated 2-hydroxy estriol after 2-hydroxylation. |

Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicity Summary
Estriol levels can be measured to give an indication of the general health of the fetus. DHEA-S is produced by the adrenal cortex of the fetus. This is converted to estriol by the placenta. If levels of "unconjugated estriol" are abnormally low in a pregnant woman, this may indicate a problem with the development of the child. The drug interacts with a target cell receptor. When the estrogen receptor has bound its ligand it can enter the nucleus of the target cell, and regulate gene transcription which leads to formation of messenger RNA. The mRNA interacts with ribosomes to produce specific proteins that express the effect of estriol upon the target cell. Estrogens increase the hepatic synthesis of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), thyroid-binding globulin (TBG), and other serum proteins and suppress follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the anterior pituitary. Toxicity Data ORAL (LD50): Acute: >2000 mg/kg [Rat]. |

Therapeutic Uses
/Estriol is indicated as/ hormone replacement therapy for treatment of atrophic vaginitis and kraurosis in post-menopausal women. /Estriol is indicated for the/ treatment of pruritus vulvae and dyspareunia associated with atrophic vaginal epithelium. Drug Warnings Gynest Cream is not indicated during pregnancy. If pregnancy occurs during use of Gynest Cream, treatment should be withdrawn immediately. Gynest Cream contains arachis oil (peanut oil) and should not be applied by patients known to be allergic to peanuts. As there is a possible relationship between allergy to peanuts and allergy to soya, patients with soya allergy should also avoid Gynest Cream. Before initiating or re-instituting HRT, a complete personal and family medical history should be taken. Physical (including pelvic and breast) examination should be guided by this and by the contra-indications and warnings for use. During treatment, periodic check-ups are recommended of a frequency and nature adapted to the individual woman. Women should be advised what changes in their breasts should be reported to their doctor or nurse. Investigations, including mammography, should be carried out in accordance with currently accepted screening practices, modified to the clinical needs of the individual. The risk of endometrial hyperplasia and carcinoma is increased when systemic estrogens are administered alone for prolonged periods of time. The endometrial safety of long-term or repeated use of topical vaginal estrogens is uncertain. Therefore, if repeated, treatment should be reviewed at least annually, with a special consideration given to any symptoms of endometrial hyperplasia or carcinoma. For more Drug Warnings (Complete) data for ESTRIOL (40 total), please visit the HSDB record page. Pharmacodynamics Estriol (also oestriol) is one of the three main estrogens produced by the human body. It is only produced in significant amounts during pregnancy as it is made by the placenta. In pregnant women with multiple sclerosis (MS), estriol reduces the disease's symptoms noticeably, according to researchers at UCLA's Geffen Medical School. |
