Metabolites of 17alpha-ethynylestradiol (EE2) were obtained from human urine following ingestion of tritium-labeled EE2. Over 95% of the recovered activity was found as conjugated steroids and these were separated into four groups by chromatography of the urine extract on Sephadex LH-20 with chloroform-methanol (1/1) + 0.01M NaCl. The two major conjugate fractions appeared to be almost exclusively glucosiduronates. Enzymatic hydrolysis liberated at least ten different EE2 metabolites as shown by chromatography on Sephadex LH-20 with benzene-methanol (85/15). After additional separation and purification of these metabolites, positive identification was obtained for nine radioactive compounds by either gas liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry or reverse-isotope recrystallization. Five were ethynyl compounds: EE2, 2-MeO EE2, 16beta-OH EE2, 2-OH EE2 and 6alpha-OH EE2. The other four were de-ethynylated estrogens: estrone, estradiol-17beta, estriol, and 2-Me-O-estradiol-17beta.
