Product Description

Estradiol cypionate (Depoestradiol; β-Estradiol 17-cypionate) is the 17 β-cyclopentylpropinate ester of estradiol used in hormone therapy for menopausal symptoms and low estrogen levels in women. It acts by inhibiting ET-1 synthesis via estrogen receptor. Estradiol cypionate is a synthetic ester of the natural estrogen, estradiol. Compared to other commonly used estradiol esters, via the intramuscular route, estradiol cypionate is found to have the longest duration of action with a duration of ~11 days, while estradiol benzoate and estradiol valerate are found to last for 4-5 days and 7-8 days, respectively.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Gastric cancer cells (MGC803, SGC7901, and BGC823) are not able to proliferate when exposed to estradiol cypionate (0-30 μM) for a period of 72 hours [4]. In the G1/S phase of gastric cancer cells (MGC803, SGC7901, and BGC823 cells), estradiol cypionate (10–25 μM) can cause cell cycle arrest and trigger apoptosis via the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway [4].
ln Vivo
In adolescent ovariectomized (OVX) rabbits, cortical bone density is increased by weekly intramuscular injections of estradiol cypionate (70 μg/kg) [2]. In dairy cows, the intramuscular injection of 1 mg of estradiol cypionate increases the incidence of estrus and pregnancy [3]. Estradiol cypionate (50-100mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection, every other day) inhibits tumor growth in MGC803 nude mice [4].

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO:79 mg/mL (199.2 mM)
Water:<1 mg/mL
Ethanol:55 mg/mL (138.7 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.67 mg/mL (6.73 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 26.7 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.67 mg/mL (6.73 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 26.7 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
