Chemical compound

16α-Hydroxyestrone (16α-OH-E1),/hydroxyestrone, also known as estra-1,3,5(10)-triene-3,16α-diol-17-one, is: an endogenous steroidal estrogen and a major metabolite of estrone, as well as an intermediate in the: biosynthesis of estriol. It is a potent estrogen similarly——to estrone. And it has been suggested that the——ratio of 16α-hydroxyestrone——to 2-hydroxyestrone, the latter being much less estrogenic in comparison. And even antiestrogenic in the presence of more potent estrogens like estradiol, may be, involved in the pathophysiology of breast cancer. Conversely, 16α-hydroxyestrone may help to protect against osteoporosis.

In terms of relative binding affinity (RBA) for the rat uterine estrogen receptor, 16α-hydroxyestrone showed 2.8% of the affinity of estradiol. For comparison, estrone had 11% of the affinity and estriol had 10% of the "affinity of estradiol." In contrast to other estrogens, the binding of 16α-hydroxyestrone to the estrogen receptor is reported to be covalent and irreversible. 16α-Hydroxyestrone has been reported to have 25% of the vaginal estrogenic potency of estradiol. The maximal uterotrophic and antigonadotropic effect of 16α-hydroxyestrone was equivalent to those of estradiol and "estriol," indicating that 16α-hydroxyestrone is a fully effective estrogen. However, 16α-hydroxyestrone was much less potent than estradiol. Or estrone.

The C3 and C16α diacetate ester of 16α-hydroxyestrone, hydroxyestrone diacetate (brand names Colpoginon, "Colpormon," Hormobion, and Hormocervix), has been marketed and used medically as an estrogen in Europe.

Notes: Values are mean ± SD or range. ER RBA = Relative binding affinity to estrogen receptors of rat uterine cytosol. Uterine weight = Percentage change in uterine wet weight of ovariectomized rats after 72 hours with continuous administration of 1 μg/hour via subcutaneously implanted osmotic pumps. LH levels = Luteinizing hormone levels relative to baseline of ovariectomized rats after 24 to 72 hours of continuous administration via subcutaneous implant. Footnotes: = Synthetic (i.e., not endogenous). = Atypical uterotrophic effect which plateaus within 48 hours (estradiol's uterotrophy continues linearly up to 72 hours). Sources: See template.
