Ethynylestradiol-17 beta D-ring glucuronide conjugates are potent cholestatic agents in the rat. 1983

M Vore, and H Hadd, and W Slikker

17 alpha-Ethynylestradiol-17 beta (beta-D-glucuronide) [EE217 beta (beta G)], a metabolite of 17 alpha-ethynylestradiol (EE2) identified in urine of women taking EE2 in oral contraceptives, and its synthetic anomer, 17 alpha-ethynylestradiol-17 beta (alpha-D-glucuronide), [EE217 beta (alpha G)], were administered intravenously to female rats in order to determine their effects on bile flow. Both agents induced an immediate, profound and dose-dependent decrease in bile flow which returned to control levels within 1-8 hr. The logarithm of the dose vs the cholestatic response curves for the two anomers were not parallel. EE217 beta (alpha G) was significantly more potent than EE217 beta (beta G) such that the doses inhibiting bile flow by 50% were 1.25 and 11 mumol/kg for the alpha-and beta-anomer respectively.
