Estradiol undecylenate
Chemical compound
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Estradiol undecylenate (EUe; developmental code name SH-368)[1] is an estrogen medication and estrogen ester which was never marketed.[2] It is the C17β undecenoate (undecylenate) ester of estradiol.[2] Following an intramuscular injection, EUe has a very prolonged effect, exceeding that of other estradiol esters like estradiol valerate and estradiol enanthate.[3] Due to its very long duration of action, EUe releases only subthreshold amounts of estradiol at conventional doses.[3] However, this may still be useful in menopausal hormone therapy.[3]
