Estrogen, Progesterone and Contraceptives Estrogen, Progesterone and Contraceptives BY: DR MEHERUNISA CIMS ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR ESTROGEN Actions • Female reproductive system: 1. Growth and development • CNS: 1. Feedback inhibition of gonadotropin (LH/FSH) secretion. 2. stimulation of CTZ to cause nausea and vomiting. • BLOOD: 1. Increased predisposition to deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism due to increased synthesis of factor VII, VIII, IX and X and decreased production of antithrombin III by the liver. 2. Favourable effect on lipid profile by decreasing LDL and increasing HDL. ESTROGEN • METABOLIC 1. Glucose intolerance 2. Sodium and water retention. 3. Maintain bone mass by decreasing the bone resorption. • Increased risk of gall bladder stones and cholestatic jaundice. • Can result in hepatic adenoma on prolonged use. • Vasodilation by increasing the production of NO. ESTROGEN PREPARATIONS • Natural steroidal estrogen ✓Estrone, Estradiol ( maximum), Estriol • Synthetic steroidal estrogen ✓Ethinyl estradil ✓Mestranol ✓Tibolone • Synthetic non steroidal estrogens ✓Diethylstilbesterol ✓Dienestrol Pharmacokinetics ✓Natural estrogens: orally inactive due to first pass metabolism ✓Synthetic estrogens: orally active ✓Estradiol is converted to estrone and estriol in liver/ peripheral tissue ✓Orally administered estrogen → absorbed from intestine→ enterohepatic circulation → high hepatic to peripheral ratio→ hepatic side effects Therapeutic uses • Oral contraceptive pills ( OCP) • Postmenopausal Hormone Replacement Therapy ( HRT) • No progesterone/estrogen production after menopause. • Leading to osteoporosis, hot flushes( due to LH), vaginal atrophy, insomnia • in HRT:Estrogen + Progesterone are given Therapeutic uses • Estrogen Replacement Therapy ( ERT) in primary ovarian failure • Dysmenorrhoea : painful menstrual bleeding • Acne, hirsuitism • Carcinoma prostrate • DUB: dysfunctional uterine bleeding Adverse effects • In males: gynaecomastia, feminisation and decreased libido • In females: • breast tenderness, breast cancer risk • withdrawal bleeding, amenorrhoea, endometrial hyperplasia • Risk of vaginal, cervical adenocarcinoma • Migraine, nausea • In both genders: • Gall stones, hepatic dysfunction • Thromboembolic disorders • Diabetes and fluid retention Contraindications • Pregnancy • Thromboembolic disorders • Diabetes • Estrogen dependent breast carcinoma • Endometrial carcinoma PROGESTERONE Actions • Progesterone increases basal insulin levels. • decrease in Na+ reabsorption. • Progesterone increases LDL and opposes beneficial effect of estrogen on lipid profile. • growth of breast tissue and also participates in LH surge. • Progestins decrease the chances of endometrial carcinoma due to estrogen Progesterone preparations Pharmacokinetics • Natural progesterone orally ineffective due to first pass metabolism • Synthetic progesterones are orally active Therapeutic uses • Oral contraceptive pills, HRT : Progestins are added to decrease the risk of endometrial and ovarian carcinoma. • DUB: dysfunctional uterine bleeding • Endometriosis : presence of ectopic endometrial cells outside uterus causing bleeding • Infertility treatment Adverse effects • Breast engorgement • Irregular mensturation cycle, breakthrough bleeding • Depression, irritability • Weight gain, decreased libido Oral contraceptive pills • Oral contraceptives are medicines taken by mouth to help prevent pregnancy. • they are also known as birth control pills • Types: ✓ combined pills: estrogen+ progesterone ✓ progesterone only pills Formulations of OCPs 1. Monophasic (each tablet containsa fixed amount of estrogen and progestin); 2. Biphasic (each tablet contains a fixed amount of estrogen, while the amount of progestin increases in the second half of the cycle); or 3. Triphasic (the amount of estrogen may be fixed or variable, while the amount of progestin increases in 3 equal phases). Mechanism of action Oestrogen inhibits secretion of FSH via negative feedback on the anterior pituitary, and thus suppresses development of the ovarian follicle. Progestogen inhibits secretion of LH and thus prevents ovulation; It also makes the cervical mucus less suitable for the passage of sperm. The oestrogen in most combined preparations (second- generation pills) is ethinylestradiol, or mestranol The progestogen may be norethisterone, levonorgestrel, or- in 'third- generation' pills-desogestrel or gestodene Adverse effects ➢ Weight gain, owing to fluid retention ➢ Glucose intolerance ➢ Mild nausea, flushing, dizziness, depression or irritability ➢ Skin changes (e.g. acne and/or an increase in pigmentation) ➢ Amenorrhoea of variable duration on cessation of taking the pill. Adverse effects ➢ CVS: thromboembolism, hypertension ➢ Increase risk of Breast carcinoma. Decrease risk of ovarian and endometrial cancer Non contraceptive beneficial effects decreases menstrual symptoms such as irregular periods and intermenstrual bleeding. Iron deficiency anaemia and premenstrual tension are reduced, Reduce benign breast disease, uterine fibroids and functional cysts of the ovaries. Progesterone only pills / mini pills These contain low dose of progestins (norethisterone or levonorgestrel or ethynodiol ) without any estrogen. These are less effective than combined OCPs. • Minipills are preferred in women where estrogen is contra-indicated e.g. –– Smokers; >35 years of age; Risk factors of thromboembolism • Progesterone only pills are given daily without any break. Mifepristone • Anti-progestin • Binds to progesterone receptors, blocking activity of progesterone Uses: • Termination of pregnancy, • Contraceptive, • Softening of cervix, • Induction of labour SERM • Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator • Synthetic agents with tissue selective agonist and antagonist activities on estrogen receptor ( ER) • Beneficial estrogenic effects on some tissues: bone, brain, liver SERM • Prevent deleterious estrogenic effects on some tissues: endometrium, breast • Example: clomiphene, tamoxifen, raloxifene • Uses: breast cancer ( raloxifene), HRT ( tamoxifen), infertility ( clomiphene) THANKYOU.

Use of combined hormonal contraceptives (CHCs) may affect breastfeeding performance and infant health outcomes. Objective: The objective was to identify evidence examining clinical outcomes for breastfeeding and infant health among breastfeeding women using CHCs compared to nonusers. Search strategy: We searched the PubMed database for all articles published from database inception through September 30, 2014. Selection criteria: We included primary research studies that compared breastfeeding women using CHCs with breastfeeding women using nonhormonal or no contraception, or compared breastfeeding women initiating combined hormonal contraception at early versus later times postpartum. Breastfeeding outcomes of interest included duration, rate of exclusive breastfeeding and timing of supplementation.

  • For Selected Potent Endocrine Disrupting Steroids: Development and Application to Environmental Studies
    Rapid and Sensitive Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assays (ELISAs) for Selected Potent Endocrine Disrupting Steroids: Development and Application to Environmental Studies Chatchaporn Uraipong Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the Degree of Master of Science (Research) School of Chemical Engineering The University of New South Wales September, 2010 ABSTRACT Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are chemicals that alter functions of the endocrine system and cause health effects in an intact organism, or progeny, or population, with reproductive, developmental, or carcinogenic consequences. In order to facilitate risk assessment of potential endocrine disrupting steroids that are present in ultra low concentrations in the Australian environment, there is a need to boost the analytical capacity for EDC detection. One strategy is to develop antibody-based techniques that can offer simple, cost-effective and reliable analysis with high throughput capacity and portability for real-time monitoring. This thesis describes the design and synthesis of hapten molecules, raising of specific antibodies, formatting and characterising of a series of sensitive competitive Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assays (ELISAs) for 17β-estradiol (E2), 17α-ethynylestradiol (EE2), ethylestradiol-3-methyl ether (mestranol) and testosterone (T), including validation of their performance as fast and effective water monitoring tools. Application of the developed assays to investigate the levels of the target EDCs in bodies of water and efficiency of water treatment plants in urban and rural areas in New South Wales, Australia, is also discussed. 17α-Ethynylestradiol and related synthetic estrogens, are active ingredients of contraceptive pills and hormone therapy, and have been identified as potent EDCs (Warner and Jenkins, 2007).

  • Toxicological Summary for Mestranol (PDF)
    Health Based Guidance for Water Health Risk Assessment Unit, Environmental Health Division 651-201-4899 Web Publication Date: May 2016 Expiration Date: May 2021 Toxicological Summary for: Mestranol CAS: 72-33-3 Synonyms: 3-Methoxy-19-nor-17α-pregna-1,3,5(10)-trien-20-yn-17-ol; (17alpha)-3-Methoxy-19- norpregna-1,3,5(10)-trien-20-yn-17-ol; Ethinylestradiol 3-methyl ether; 17alpha- Ethinylestradiol 3-methyl ether, EEME, MeEE Mestranol (MeEE) is the 3-methyl ether of 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2). MeEE is not initially biologically active as a contraceptive hormone but it is rapidly demethylated in the liver to form the biologically active EE2. A dose of 50 µg of MeEE is considered to be bioequivalent to 35 µg of EE2 as a result of a 70% conversion efficiency in the liver (e.g., 35 µg/0.70 = 50 µg) (Brody et al. 1989). The relative bioequivalence is the basis for the different contraceptive dose levels for MeEE and EE2 used to achieve the same effect in adult humans. HBVs are available for 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2). The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) recommends adjusting the reference doses (RfDs) derived for EE2 by a factor of 0.7 to account for relative bioequivalence and then deriving Risk Assessment Advice (RAAs) for MeEE based on the adjusted RfDs. The following are MeEE RfDs, based on RfDs for EE2 adjusted for relative bioequivalence according to the following equation: RfDMeEE = RfDEE2/0.7 Acute RfDMeEE = Not derived. Insufficient data. -7 -7 Short-term RfDMeEE = Short-term RfDEE2/0.7 = 1.7 x 10 /0.7 = 2.4 x 10 mg/kg-d -8 -8 Subchronic RfDMeEE = Subchronic RfDEE2/0.7 = 1.4 x 10 /0.7 = 2.0 x 10 mg/kg-d -8 -8 Chronic RfDMeEE = Chronic RfDEE2/0.7 = 1.4 x 10 /0.7 = 2.0 x 10 mg/kg-d The following recommendation represents Risk Assessment Advice (RAA) for mestranol using adjusted RfDs and the same duration-based algorithms applied to derive 17α-ethinylestradiol HBVs: Acute nRAAMeEE = Not derived.
