SMILES: C[C@]12CC[C@H]3[C@H]([C@@H]1CCC2=O)CCC4=C3C=CC(=C4)O

IUPAC name: (8R,9S,13S,14S)-3-hydroxy-13-methyl-7,8,9,11,12,14,15,16-octahydro-6H-cyclopenta[a]phenanthren-17-one

ChEBI definition: A 17-oxo steroid that is estra-1,3,5(10)-triene substituted by an hydroxy group at position 3 and an oxo group at position 17.

Pharmacological roles (ChEBI): estrogen, bone density conservation agent, antineoplastic agent.

Other ChEBI roles (chemical / environmental): human metabolite, mouse metabolite.

Also known as: Estradiol metabolite e1, Estrogenic substance, Estrona, Estrone, Follicular hormone, Follicular-hormone, Folliculin, Folliculinum, Ketohydroxyestrin, Natural estrogenic substance-estrone, NSC-9699, Theelin

Patent coverage: 12,210 distinct patent families (36,722 SureChEMBL compound mentions), from 2 matched compound structure(s). One matched structure accounts for 36,635 (100%) of the total. Mentions count patents naming the compound (not distinct inventions), so promiscuous / reference molecules inflate the mention figure — families are the dedup metric.

Pharmacology

Pharmacogenomics

No CPIC/DPWG dosing guideline, but PharmGKB curates 0 clinical and 1 variant annotation(s) for this drug (gene-keyed; see PharmGKB).

Molecules sharing ≥1 of this drug’s curated primary targets, merged from two biobtree sources and ranked by shared-target count, then clinical phase: ChEMBL clinical-stage candidates (development phase ≥2) and PubChem drug-class bioactivity (approved / known drugs acting on the target). Deduplicated by drug name; the drug’s own salt forms are excluded. Note: for a drug with few primary targets a shared-target match can reflect off-target / promiscuous binding rather than the same therapeutic mechanism — the phase ordering surfaces bona-fide therapeutics first.
