16α-Hydroxyestrone (16α-OH-E1), or 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.[1][2] 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.[1] Conversely, 16α-hydroxyestrone may help to protect against osteoporosis.[1]

In terms of relative binding affinity (RBA) for the rat uterine estrogen receptor, 16α-hydroxyestrone showed 2.8% of the affinity of estradiol.[3] For comparison, estrone had 11% of the affinity and estriol had 10% of the affinity of estradiol.[3] In contrast to other estrogens, the binding of 16α-hydroxyestrone to the estrogen receptor is reported to be covalent and irreversible.[4][5][6] 16α-Hydroxyestrone has been reported to have 25% of the vaginal estrogenic potency of estradiol.[3] 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.[3][7] However, 16α-hydroxyestrone was much less potent than estradiol or estrone.[7]

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.[8][9]

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: a = Synthetic (i.e., not endogenous). b = Atypical uterotrophic effect which plateaus within 48 hours (estradiol's uterotrophy continues linearly up to 72 hours). Sources: See template.
