Estradiol sulfate
As the sodium salt, sodium estradiol sulfate, E2S is present as a minor constituent (0.9%) of conjugated equine estrogens (CEEs), or Premarin. It effectively functions as a prodrug to estradiol in this preparation, similarly to E1S. E2S is also formed as a metabolite of estradiol, as well as of estrone and E1S. Aside from its presence in CEEs, E2S is not available as a commercial pharmaceutical drug.
Estradiol acetate
Estradiol acetate is a synthetic estrane steroid and the C3 acetate ester of estradiol. It is also known as estradiol 3-acetate or as estra-1,3,5(10)-triene-3,17β-diol 3-acetate. Another common ester of estradiol in use for oral administration is estradiol valerate, which is a C17β ester of estradiol.
