The Estradiol with the cas number 50-28-2, is also called (8R,9S,13S,14S,17S)-13-methyl-6,7,8,9,11,12,14,15,16,17-decahydrocyclopenta[a]phenanthrene-3,17-diol named by IUPAC. Its' system names are (1) 17beta-Estradiol ; (2) Estra-1,3,5(10)-triene-3,17-diol (17beta)- ; (3) Estra-1,3,5(10)-triene-3,17-diol, (17beta)-. And it belongs to the following product categories: (1)Steroids; (2)Estrogen; (3)Hormone; (4)Analytical Chemistry; (5)Biochemistry; (6)Environmental Endocrine Disruptors; (7)Estradiol, etc. (Environmental Endocrine Disruptors); (8)Hydroxysteroids; (9)Intracellular receptor. It seems like off-white to pale yellow solid, and it is better to store Estradiol around 2-8°C. It is stable, however, it is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents.

Uses of Estradiol: It is a sex hormone, also called oestradiol. Estradiol is the predominant sex hormone present in females. It is also present in males, being produced as an active metabolic product of testosterone. In the female, estradiol acts as a growth hormone for tissue of the reproductive organs, supporting the lining of the vagina, the cervical glands, the endometrium, and the lining of the fallopian tubes. It enhances growth of the myometrium. Furthermore, the development of secondary sex characteristics in women is driven by estrogens, to be specific, estradiol. The effect of estradiol (and estrogens) upon male reproduction is complex. There is evidence that estradiol functions to prevent apoptosis of male sperm cells.

Besides, several studies have noted that sperm counts have been declining in many parts of the world and it has been postulated that this may be related to estrogen exposure in the environment. Suppression of estradiol production in a subpopulation of subfertile men may improve the semen analysis. There is evidence that estradiol has a profound effect on bone. Women past menopause experience an accelerated loss of bone mass due to a relative estrogen deficiency. Also, Estradiol has complex effects on the liver. It can lead to cholestasis. It affects the production of multiple proteins including lipoproteins, binding proteins, and proteins responsible for blood clotting. EspecialLy, Estrogen is considered to play a significant role in women’s mental health, with links suggested between the hormone, mood and well-being. Sudden drops or fluctuations in, or long periods of sustained low levels of estrogen may be correlated with significant mood-lowering. Clinical recovery from depression postpartum, perimenopause, and postmenopause was shown to be effective after levels of estrogen were stabilized and/or restored.

Production of  Estradiol. 1.During the reproductive years, most estradiol in women is produced by the granulosa cells of the ovaries by the aromatization of androstenedione (produced in the theca folliculi cells) to estrone, followed by conversion of estrone to estradiol by 17β-hydroxysteroid reductase. Smaller amounts of estradiol are also produced by the adrenal cortex, and (in men), by the testes. 2. Estradiol is not only produced in the gonads: in both sexes, precursor hormones, specifically testosterone, are converted by aromatization to estradiol. In particular, fat cells are active to convert precursors to estradiol, and will continue to do so even after menopause. Estradiol is also produced in the brain and in arterial walls.
