An estrogenic hormone, C18H24O2, that is produced by the ovaries and is the dominant naturally occurring estrogen in women between puberty and menopause. It is used to treat menopausal symptoms and other conditions.

estradiol[‚es·trə′dī‚ȯl] (biochemistry) C18H24O2 An estrogenic hormone produced by follicle cells of the vertebrate ovary; provokes estrus and proliferation of the human endometrium, and stimulates ICSH (interstitial-cell-stimulating hormone) secretion. Estradiol C18H24O2, a female sex hormone of the estrogen group with the structural formula Estradiol occurs as colorless crystals with a melting point of 176°–178°C. Poorly soluble in water, it dissolves better in organic solvents. It is optically active, with a specific rotation of [α]D= +81°. Estradiol was first isolated in 1935 from the follicular fluid of the ovaries of swine by the American biochemist E. Doisy. Of all the estrogens, it has the highest physiological activity, but it is rapidly inactivated in the body. Longer-acting preparations of estradiol (estradiol dipropionate and estradiol benzoate) are obtained by the esterization of estradiol with various organic acids. Estradiol has important physiological functions (seeESTROGEN). estradiolenUK
estradiol [es″trah-di´ol, es-tra´de-ol] 1. the most potent naturally occurring ovarian and placental estrogen in mammals; it prepares the uterus for implantation of the fertilized ovum and promotes the maturation of and maintenance of the female accessory reproductive organs and characters" >secondary sex characters. 2. a preparation of this hormone used in estrogen therapy" >replacement therapy for conditions such as female hypogonadism, ovariectomy, or primary ovarian failure, and in treatment of abnormal uterine bleeding, vasomotor menopausal symptoms, postmenopausal osteoporosis, vaginitis" >atrophic vaginitis, and certain advanced breast or prostatic carcinomas. Used most often in the form of estradiol cypionate, estradiol valerate, or ethinyl estradiol.estradiol Bedol (UK), Elestrin, Elleste (UK), Elleste-Solo (UK), Estrace, Estring, Estrogel, Gynodiol, Innofem, Oestrogel (UK), Progynova (UK), Sandrena (UK), Vagifem, Zumenon (UK) estradiol acetate Femring, Femtrace estradiol cypionate Depo-Estradiol estradiol hemihydrate Estrasorb estradiol transdermal system Alora, Climara, Estraderm, Estradot (UK), Evorel (UK), Fematrix (UK), Femseven (UK), Menostar, Vivelle estradiol valerate Climaval (UK), Delestrogen, Femogex (CA) Pharmacologic class: Estrogen Therapeutic class: Hormone Pregnancy risk category X Action Binds to nuclear receptors in responsive tissues (such as female genital organs, breasts, and pituitary gland), enhancing DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis. In androgen-dependent prostate cancer, competes for androgen receptor sites, inhibiting androgen activity. Also decreases pituitary release of follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone.
