The Role of 17α-Ethynyl Estradiol (17αEE) as a Progestin and Hormone‑Replacement Therapy

A Review of the Literature (2024)




---




1. Introduction




17α‑Ethynyl estradiol (17αEE) is an orally active synthetic estrogen first described in the early 1960s.


It differs from its more widely known analogue, ethinylestradiol (E2), by a methyl group at C‑3 and an additional ethynyl group at C‑17β. These modifications confer:


- High oral bioavailability (~80 % for 0.1 mg dose).

- Reduced hepatic metabolism and longer half‑life (t½ ≈ 16–20 h).





Historically used in low doses (≤ 0.02 mg/day) as a progestin component of ethinyl estradiol preparations to mitigate estrogenic side effects.







1️⃣ Pharmacokinetics – \"What the body does with it\"



Parameter Value (0.01–0.02 mg oral)


Absorption Rapid, Cmax within 30–60 min.


Bioavailability ~70% due to first‑pass hepatic metabolism.


Half‑life 2–3 h (shorter than other estrogens).


Metabolism Primarily CYP1A2 & CYP2C9 → glucuronidation, sulfation.


Excretion Renal (~70%) and biliary (~20%).



How to Use It






Timing: Take once daily at the same time each day; can be with or without food.


Dosing: Usually 0.5 mg–1 mg per dose; follow your prescriber’s instructions.


Monitoring: Blood pressure checks, breast exam, and routine labs (e.g., liver function).


Side Effects to Watch For:


- Headache, dizziness, or visual changes → report immediately.
- Unusual bleeding or spotting → inform healthcare provider.
- Severe allergic reactions (rash, swelling) → seek urgent care.
