Estradiol (medication)
, estradiol is available in the United States in the following forms:Oral estradiol valerate (Progynova) and other esters of estradiol that are used by injection like estradiol benzoate, estradiol enantate, and estradiol undecylate all are not marketed in the U.S. Polyestradiol phosphate (Estradurin) was marketed in the U.S. previously but is no longer available.
Estriol sulfamate
Estriol sulfamate (developmental code name J1034), or estriol 3-"O"-sulfamate, is a synthetic estrogen and estrogen ester which was never marketed. It is the C3 sulfamate ester of estriol. The drug shows substantially improved oral estrogenic potency (vagina, uterus) relative to estriol in rats but without an increase in hepatic estrogenic potency. However, the closely related compound estradiol sulfamate (E2MATE) failed to show estrogenic activity in humans, which is due to the fact that it is additionally a highly potent inhibitor of steroid sulfatase and prevents its own bioactivation into estradiol.
