Talk:Ethinylestradiol

message: Why is the title of the article all one word, but in the article itself the name is always broken apart into two words?  Shouldn't it be consistent either way? Lyrl 12:14, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Someone recently moved it because INN (not sure what that is) spells it as one word, and wikipedia apparently encourages INN spellings (Wikipedia:Naming conventions (chemistry)). I do prefer two words, though. Lyrl 22:16, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I prefer two words too, having it as one word is a very unconventional way of writing it. Even on medication itself, it's two words --Hbary (talk) 21:19, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: No space in title?

message: I have just removed several sections from the article for being blatant unedited copyright violations, taken straight from this page. I find it rather sad that such an important drug is so poorly documented here on wikipedia that someone could get away with copyvios. Hopefully we can start to give this article the love it deserves :) LinaMishima (talk) 23:25, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Copyright Violations removed 

message: The title names the compound with an "i" following the "h". As the name of the substituent is derived from Ethyne (the systematic name of acetylene), then name of this lemma should be "Ethynylestradiol", as in the first line. Is this lemme to be renamed again? T.vanschaik (talk) 10:12, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: One would think, given the IUPAC rules.  In this case however, the trade name is in fact "ethinyl estradiol". Must have been named by a pharmacologist :oD. - Puddin'head24.9.79.14 (talk) 01:00, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Title versus name in lemma 

message: I agree that very few informations are (freely) available all around about this very common and widely used hormon, 
and as a consequence also Wikipedia currently offers very little about it.
In particular, one topic of interest would be explaining/understanding the relative potency of EE versus plain Estradiol in
binding to E receptors and activating them. EE appears ways more potent (why ?), since oral formulations always include
EE in microgram dosages, while E (micronized or valerate) is always dosed in milligrams. Any interested people
would like to understand that by reading this entry.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.4.120.199 (talk) 19:37, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The greater potency of EE is generally considered to be a pharmacokinetic effect - it is not oxidized at the 17 position due to the addition of the ethyne group and thus is not cleared as rapidly.  I have not seen any information on the Kd value of EE, nor a comparison of receptor binding to that of estradiol.  Will take a look to see if I can find anything. - Puddin'head207.93.211.50 (talk) 17:35, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ethynilestradiol potency vs. 17-ß Estradiol 

message: The article conflates bioavailability with protein binding in the boxes below the chemical structure.  Should an entry for "protein binding" be added, or should the proper bioavailability data simply be inserted in place of what is currently there? - Puddin'head207.93.211.50 (talk) 17:39, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bioavailability reported as "97% bound" 

message: Why does this article contain zero info about the use of EE in trans health? Can anybody add anything?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Funkendub (talk • contribs) 19:58, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Will definitely add that! Hbary (talk) 20:54, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

message: Article says
 EE is used as a medication and is a component of almost all formulations of combined oral contraceptive (COC) pills, being nearly the exclusive estrogen used for this purpose.
But ref is from 1999. Has this changed since? 193.167.228.180 (talk) 11:38, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
