The metabolism of estriol-3-glucosiduronate and estriol in the rabbit. 1980

T Miyazaki, and H Mizukoshi, and Y Araki, and N Shimizu

Urinary metabolites of [6,7-3H]-estriol-3-glucosiduronate and of [6, 7-3H]-estriol in intact female rabbits were analyzed. The separation of urinary metabolites was performed by countercurrent distribution followed by DEAE-Sephadex A-25 column chromatography. Each conjugate was then hydrolyzed with the enzymes and the aglycone thus liberated was identified. In either case, major urinary metabolites were found to be diconjugates, a considerable part of which was glucosiduronate-N-acetylglucosaminide of 17-epiestriol. In addition, estriol-16-glucosiduronate or monoglucosiduronate of 17-epiestriol was identified as a minor urinary metabolite of [6,7-3H]-estriol. From these results, it was concluded that the greater part of the estriol-3-glucosiduronate was converted to diconjugates and that estriol-3-glucosiduronate was probably an intermediate metabolite in the conversion pathway from estriol to diconjugates in this species.

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.
