16α-Hydroxyestrone (16α-OH-E1), or hydroxyestrone, also known as estra-1,3,5(10)-triene-3,16α-diol-17-one, is an
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.[1] Conversely, 16α-hydroxyestrone may help to protect against osteoporosis.[1]
In terms of
antigonadotropic effect of 16α-hydroxyestrone was equivalent to those of estradiol and estriol, indicating that 16α-hydroxyestrone is a fully effective estrogen.[3][8] However, 16α-hydroxyestrone was much less potent than estradiol or estrone.[8]
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.[9][10]
