CAS 1743-60-8: Estradiol, 17-acetate
Description:Estradiol 17-acetate is a synthetic derivative of estradiol, a naturally occurring estrogen hormone. It is characterized by its chemical formula, which includes a phenolic structure with an acetate group at the 17th carbon position. This modification enhances its lipophilicity, allowing for improved absorption and bioavailability when administered. Estradiol 17-acetate is typically used in hormone replacement therapy and contraceptive formulations due to its potent estrogenic activity. It plays a crucial role in regulating various physiological processes, including the menstrual cycle and reproductive functions. The substance is often administered via intramuscular injection or transdermal patches, providing a controlled release of the hormone. In terms of safety, like other estrogens, it may have side effects and contraindications, particularly in individuals with a history of hormone-sensitive conditions. Its pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics are well-studied, making it a significant compound in both clinical and research settings related to endocrinology and reproductive health.
