/BOXED WARNING/ WARNING: Estrogens and progestins should not be used for the prevention of cardiovascular disease or dementia. The Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study reported increased risks of myocardial infarction, stroke, invasive breast cancer, pulmonary emboli, and deep vein thrombosis in postmenopausal women (50 to 79 years of age) during 5 years of treatment with oral conjugated estrogens (CE 0.625 mg) combined with medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA 2.5 mg) relative to placebo. The Women's Health Initiative Memory Study (WHIMS), a substudy of WHI, reported increased risk of developing probable dementia in postmenopausal women 65 years of age or older during 4 years of treatment with oral conjugated estrogens plus medroxyprogesterone acetate relative to placebo. It is unknown whether this finding applies to younger postmenopausal women. Other doses of oral conjugated estrogens with medroxyprogesterone acetate, and other combinations and dosage forms of estrogens and progestins were not studied in the WHI clinical trials and, in the absence of comparable data, these risks should be assumed to be similar. Because of these risks, estrogens with or without progestins should be prescribed at the lowest effective doses and for the shortest duration consistent with treatment goals and risks for the individual woman.

ESTROGENS INCREASE THE RISK OF ENDOMETRIAL CANCER: Close clinical surveillance of all women taking estrogens is important. Adequate diagnostic measures, including endometrial sampling when indicated, should be undertaken to rule out malignancy in all cases of undiagnosed persistent or recurring abnormal vaginal bleeding. There is no evidence that the use of "natural" estrogens results in a different endometrial risk profile than synthetic estrogens at equivalent estrogen doses.

25 healthy women of reproductive age who had not previously used oral contraceptive steroids, were each given a single tablet containing 50, 80, or 100 ug of mestranol or 50 or 80 ug of ethinyl estradiol. Blood samples were obtained before taking the tablets and at intervals of 1, 2, 4, and 24 hours afterward. Anti-ethinyl-estradiol antibody in 1 to 100,000 initial dilution was used. Details of techniques employed are given. With ethinyl estradiol, the 1-hour sampling yielded the maximum plasma levels. At 24 hours, the plasma level was not detectable in 4 of 5 subjects given 50 ug or in 1 of 5 given 80 ug. With mestranol, the disappearance curve was more variable with the peak levels usually at 2 hours but occasionally at 4 hours. At all 3 dose levels of mestranol, measurable serum ethinyl estradiol levels were found at 24 hours. These levels were reached more slowly and were lower than when ethinyl estradiol was given. In contrast to natural estrogens ethinyl, estrogens are bound to plasma proteins chiefly by nonspecific binding and are therefore less likely to affect the metabolism of the ethinyl estrogens than are the endogenous steroids. Also, significant amounts of ethinyl estradiol are was given. In contrast to natural estrogens ethinyl, estrogens are bound di-ethynylated in vitro. The pharmacokinetics of ethinyl estrogens differ from those of natural estrogens. This complicates interpretation of plasma or urinary estrone and estradiol measurements.

Ethinylestradiol can be glucuronidated by UGT1A1, UGT1A3, UGT1A4, UGT1A9, and UGT2B7. Ethinylestradiol is also sulfated by SULT1A1, SULT1A3, and SULT1E1. Ethinylestradiol can also be hydroxylated at positions 2, 4, 6, 7, and 16 by CYP3A4, CYP3A5, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, and CYP1A2. These hydroxylated metabolites can be methylated by catechol-O-methyltransferase. The methoxy metabolites can in turn be sulfated or glucuronidated.
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.

Ethinyl estradiol is extensively metabolized, both by oxidation and by conjugation with sulfate and glucuronide. Sulfates are the major circulating conjugates of ethinyl estradiol and glucuronides predominate in urine. The primary oxidative metabolite is 2-hydroxy ethinyl estradiol, formed by the CYP3A4 isoform of cytochrome P450. Part of the first-pass metabolism of ethinyl estradiol is believed to occur in gastrointestinal mucosa. Ethinyl estradiol may undergo enterohepatic circulation.

Studies on the metabolism of ethinylestradiol have been carried out in rats, rabbits, guinea-pigs, dogs and monkeys. It is very rapidly and effectively absorbed from rat intestine; no appreciable metabolic transformation is reported to take place during the absorption process. The main metabolic pathway of ethinylestradiol in rats is by aromatic 2-hydroxylation; hydroxylations at ring B (C-6/C-7) are of only minor importance. Rat liver forms 2-hydroxyethinylestradiol and the methyl ethers thereof, 2-methoxyethinylestradiol and 2-hydroxyethinylestradiol-3-methy1 ether, as its major metabolic products. This pathway is also important in humans. Metabolites of ethinylestradiol in rats are excreted almost exclusively in the feces.

The pharmacokinetics of 19-nor-17 alpha-pregna-1,3,5(10)-trien-20-yne-3,17-diol (ethinylestradiol, Progynon C) (EE2) has been studied after intravenous administration of 0.1 or 0.01 mg/kg and after intragastric administration of 1 mg/kg in female rats, rabbits, beagle dogs, rhesus monkeys and baboons. After intravenous administration disposition of unchanged drug in the plasma was biphasic with initial half-lives between 0.3 and 0.5 hr and terminal half-lives between 2.3 and 3.0 hr. Total plasma clearance was of the same magnitude as total plasma liver flow or even higher rat) indicating a rapid biotransformation of the estrogen in the liver. Systemic availability of intragastric EE2 amounted to 3% in the rat, 0.3% in the rabbit, 9% in the dog, 0.6% in rhesus monkeys and 2% in the baboon and was considerably lower than in humans (40%). Differences in the pharmacokinetics and in the systemic availability of EE2 between laboratory animals and man should be taken into account in the retrospective interpretation of pharmacological and toxicological data and in the design of new studies.

Ethinylestradiol is a synthetic estrogenic compound. Use of estrogens have a number of effects on the body including reduced bone density. Combined oral contraceptives suppress ovulation by suppressing gonadotrophic hormone, thickening cervical mucus to prevent the travel of sperm, and preventing changes in the endometrium required for implantation of a fertilized egg. Ethinylestradiol decreases luteinizing hormone, decreasing vascularity in the endometrium. It also increases sex hormone binding globulin.
Endogenous estrogens are largely responsible for the development and maintenance of the female reproductive system and secondary sexual characteristics. Although circulating estrogens exist in a dynamic equilibrium of metabolic interconversions, estradiol is the principal intracellular human estrogen and is substantially more potent than its metabolites estrone and estriol at the receptor level. ... After menopause, most endogenous estrogen is produced by conversion of androstenedione, secreted by the adrenal cortex, to estrone by peripheral tissues. Thus, estrone and the sulfate conjugated form, estrone sulfate, are the most abundant circulating estrogens in postmenopausal women. The pharmacologic effects of ethinyl estradiol are similar to those of endogenous estrogens. Estrogens act through binding to nuclear receptors in estrogen-responsive tissues. To date, two estrogen receptors have been identified. These vary in proportion from tissue to tissue. Circulating estrogens modulate the pituitary secretion of the gonadotropins, luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) through a negative feedback mechanism. Estrogens act to reduce the elevated levels of these hormones seen in postmenopausal women.

Estrogens have an important role in the reproductive, skeletal, cardiovascular, and central nervous systems in women, and act principally by regulating gene expression. Biologic response is initiated when estrogen binds to a ligand-binding domain of the estrogen receptor resulting in a conformational change that leads to gene transcription through specific estrogen response elements (ERE) of target gene promoters; subsequent activation or repression of the target gene is mediated through 2 distinct transactivation domains (ie, AF-1 and AF-2) of the receptor. The estrogen receptor also mediates gene transcription using different response elements (ie, AP-1) and other signal pathways. Recent advances in the molecular pharmacology of estrogen and estrogen receptors have resulted in the development of selective estrogen receptor modulators (eg, clomiphene, raloxifene, tamoxifen, toremifene), agents that bind and activate the estrogen receptor but that exhibit tissue-specific effects distinct from estrogen. Tissue-specific estrogen-agonist or -antagonist activity of these drugs appears to be related to structural differences in their estrogen receptor complex (eg, specifically the surface topography of AF-2 for raloxifene) compared with the estrogen (estradiol)-estrogen receptor complex. A second estrogen receptor also has been identified, and existence of at least 2 estrogen receptors (ER-alpha, ER-beta) may contribute to the tissue-specific activity of selective modulators. While the role of the estrogen receptor in bone, cardiovascular tissue, and the CNS continues to be studied, emerging evidence indicates that the mechanism of action of estrogen receptors in these tissues differs from the manner in which estrogen receptors function in reproductive tissue. /Estrogen General Statement/

Intracellular cytosol-binding proteins for estrogens have been identified in estrogen-responsive tissues including the female genital organs, breasts, pituitary, and hypothalamus. The estrogen-binding protein complex (ie, cytosol-binding protein and estrogen) distributes into the cell nucleus where it stimulates DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis. The presence of these receptor proteins is responsible for the palliative response to estrogen therapy in women with metastatic carcinoma of the breast. /Estrogen General Statement/

Estrogens have generally favorable effects on blood cholesterol and phospholipid concentrations. Estrogens reduce LDL-cholesterol and increase HDL-cholesterol concentrations in a dose-related manner. The decrease in LDL-cholesterol concentrations associated with estrogen therapy appears to result from increased LDL catabolism, while the increase in triglyceride concentrations is caused by increased production of large, triglyceride-rich, very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDLs); changes in serum HDL-cholesterol concentrations appear to result principally from an increase in the cholesterol and apolipoprotein A-1 content of HDL2- and a slight increase in HDL3-cholesterol. /Estrogen General Statement/
