Estradiol

For an informed discussion with your doctor or pharmacist. This information collection is not a clinically validated interaction checker. Missing data do not establish safety. Do not change or stop prescribed medicines on the basis of this information. The findings apply to the specific conditions studied; laboratory and animal studies cannot be directly extrapolated to humans.

Active substance: Estradiol

Examples of brand names: Gynokadin [DE]

ATC code: G03CA03

Main use (for orientation): Hormone replacement

Documented research summary

Several animal and cell studies show context-dependent THC–estradiol effects. Official registry results also exist for one week of transdermal estradiol pretreatment with oral dronabinol in 12 healthy premenopausal women: THC AUC ratio 0.80 (90% confidence interval 0.50–1.3). AUC here describes drug exposure in blood over 24 hours; treatment compared with the control day. The wide interval establishes neither absence of interaction nor a confirmed clinically relevant difference. No conclusion about safety of long-term clinical hormone replacement is possible. Historical receptor findings conflict; smoke constituents are not pure THC. Human study 37004978 concerns endogenous cycle fluctuations, not hormone therapy.

Uncertainties and limitations

Not a complete safety conclusion. Animal, cell or withdrawal models cannot be extrapolated to a longer-term clinical combination. Distinguish preparations, administration routes and cannabinoid material actually used. Historical papers without abstracts (6307316, 405016, 938569, 1209643) screened only as metadata; no result direction invented. PMC13584061: extract with 8.5% THC, not fully chemically characterised. Relevant methods, results and discussion read; not a human study. Documented individual title/abstract assessment with selected relevant full texts; not an exhaustive worldwide systematic review or independent human specialist approval. Missing data do not establish safety. All 28 cannabinoids are within the search scope, not 28 clinically investigated pairs per drug.

Registry NCT04374773: small short-term investigation in healthy premenopausal women; randomisation details contradictory. Not evidence of long-term clinical hormone-replacement safety or absence of interaction. Do not infer an established outcome direction solely from a non-significant difference.

Original sources for this finding: Gonadal hormone modulation of ∆9-tetrahydrocannabinol-induced antinociception and metabolism in female versus male rats. [VF_P_27670094]

Cannabis extract – laboratory and animal studies

Original sources for this finding: The different role of G-protein-coupled receptor 30 (GPR30) in the interaction effects of marijuana and estradiol on spatial learning and memory at different ages. [VF_P_34800583]; Marijuana and β-estradiol interactions on spatial learning and memory in young female rats: Lack of role of the G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPR30). [VF_P_34146552]

THC – laboratory and animal studies

Finding ID: B0504

Type of result: Context-specific finding

Observation: THC inhibited estradiol-dependent proliferation in MCF-7-based cell models. The 2013 paper links this with higher ERβ expression. In the ERα-negative comparison model MDA-MB-231, no corresponding antiproliferative effect was observed under the tested conditions.

Mechanism: A functional cell-growth effect was investigated in 2008; receptor mechanism remained unresolved. The 2013 paper describes cell-model-dependent ERα/ERβ signals and found no direct THC binding to these oestrogen receptors in its binding assays.

Study type: Breast-cancer cell models

Context studied: Von Bueren 2008: original text and figure legends assessed as HTML in the public co-author upload; MCF-7/MCF-7-AR1, six-day exposure. Takeda 2013: official author manuscript assessed; MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231. Cell experiments/replicates are not patient data.

Clinical interpretation: Applicability to humans is unresolved; preclinical endpoint, not clinical evidence of treatment efficacy or safety.

Limitations and uncertainties: Preclinical cell models with sometimes high micromolar THC concentrations and few independent experiments. No clinically established estradiol interaction or cancer-treatment evidence. Growth inhibition does not mean demonstrated tumour killing. A functional effect does not prove direct receptor binding; missing human data do not establish safety.

Original sources for this finding: Δ(9)-Tetrahydrocannabinol disrupts estrogen-signaling through up-regulation of estrogen receptor β (ERβ). [VF_P_23718638]; Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol inhibits 17beta-estradiol-induced proliferation and fails to activate androgen and estrogen receptors in MCF7 human breast cancer cells. [VF_P_18383828]

THC – laboratory and animal studies

Finding ID: B0505

Type of result: Context-specific finding

Observation: The pure substance tested showed no corresponding anti-oestrogenic activity in these assays; cannabis-smoke condensate, by contrast, altered oestrogen metabolism and aromatase endpoints.

Mechanism: Distinguishing isolated cannabinoids from combustion constituents.

Study type: Cell/enzyme assays with pure substances and smoke condensate

Context studied: Original abstract; separate pure-substance and smoke-condensate treatments.

Clinical interpretation: Applicability to humans is unresolved; preclinical endpoint, not clinical evidence of treatment efficacy or safety.

Limitations and uncertainties: Do not extrapolate smoke-constituent effects to an isolated cannabinoid. A null finding does not clinically exclude an interaction.

Original sources for this finding: Antiestrogenic effects of marijuana smoke condensate and cannabinoid compounds. [VF_P_16392670]

CBD – laboratory and animal studies

Finding ID: B0506

Type of result: Context-specific finding

CBN – laboratory and animal studies

Finding ID: B0507

Context studied: Original abstract; separate pure-substance and smoke-condensate treatments.

Clinical interpretation: Applicability to humans is unresolved; preclinical endpoint, not clinical evidence of treatment efficacy or safety.

Original sources for this finding: Antiestrogenic effects of marijuana smoke condensate and cannabinoid compounds. [VF_P_16392670]

THC – laboratory and animal studies

Finding ID: B0508

Type of result: Context-specific finding

Observation: An early weak competitive finding was not confirmed in subsequent investigations with pure THC.

Mechanism: Assessment of direct oestrogen-receptor binding.

Study type: Historical receptor/animal assays; contradictory findings

Context studied: Three historical original abstracts; extracts and smoke condensate considered separately.

Clinical interpretation: Applicability to humans is unresolved; preclinical endpoint, not clinical evidence of treatment efficacy or safety.

Limitations and uncertainties: Retain the contradiction transparently; do not claim clinical oestrogen-receptor blockade or a hormone-replacement effect.
