Estradiol enanthate (INN, USAN), or estradiol heptanoate, is a synthetic, steroidal estrogen and an estrogen ester – specifically, the 17β-enanthate ester of estradiol – which is used as a component of hormonal contraception.[1][2][3][4] It acts as a prodrug of estradiol, and hence, is considered to be a natural, bioidentical form of estrogen.[5] Estradiol enanthate is used in combination with the progestogen dihydroxyprogesterone acetophenide as a once-monthly combined injectable contraceptive in Spain and Latin America under brand names including Anafertin, Deladroxate, Perlutan, and Topasel.[1][2][3][6] This combination has been marketed since the mid-1960s.[7] Estradiol enanthate does not appear to be available as a standalone drug (i.e., by itself).[2]
When estradiol enanthate is administered in oil via intramuscular injection, a depot effect occurs, and the drug has a very long duration of effect.[8] A single 10 mg intramuscular dose of estradiol enanthate has been found to result in significantly elevated levels of estradiol for at least 31 days.[5] The duration of estradiol enanthate is considerably longer than that of various other commonly used estradiol esters like estradiol valerate and estradiol cypionate.[8]
