We report a method for measuring estriol and its intact conjugates in urine, serum, and amniotic fluid. A single assay can be done within about 50 min, eight samples assayed in less than 5 h. A 70-microL urine sample is diluted and the estriol conjugates are adsorbed from it onto graphitized carbon black (Carbopack B, Supelco). After two washings, the analytes are desorbed with chloroform/methanol (60/40, by vol) containing tetrapropylammonium bromide. After solvent evaporation, the residue is redissolved in 100 microL of water/acetonitrile and 20 microL is injected into the chromatograph. Or 1 mL of serum or 0.5 mL of amniotic fluid is deproteinized with cold methanol, then passed through the Carbopack column. After three washings, the estriol and its conjugates are desorbed and treated as for urine. Mean analytical recoveries of the analytes in any of these body fluids were within about 92-98%, except for estriol-3-sulfate-16 alpha-glucuronide in serum (mean recovery 88.3%). The limit of sensitivity is well below the concentrations of clinical interest, and the method is not susceptible to substantial interferences.

D004964 Estriol A hydroxylated metabolite of ESTRADIOL or ESTRONE that has a hydroxyl group at C3, 16-alpha, and 17-beta position. Estriol is a major urinary estrogen. During PREGNANCY, a large amount of estriol is produced by the PLACENTA. Isomers with inversion of the hydroxyl group or groups are called epiestriol.

D004966 Estrogens, Conjugated (USP) A pharmaceutical preparation containing a mixture of water-soluble, conjugated estrogens derived wholly or in part from URINE of pregnant mares or synthetically from ESTRONE and EQUILIN. It contains a sodium-salt mixture of estrone sulfate (52-62%) and equilin sulfate (22-30%) with a total of the two between 80-88%. Other concomitant conjugates include 17-alpha-dihydroequilin, 17-alpha-estradiol, and 17-beta-dihydroequilin. The potency of the preparation is expressed in terms of an equivalent quantity of sodium estrone sulfate.
