Metabolite Identification
Common Name16a-Hydroxyestrone
Description16a-Hydroxyestrone or 16alpha-hydroxyestrone (16alpha-OH-E1 or 16a OHE1), or hydroxyestrone, is an endogenous steroidal estrogen and a major metabolite of estrone and estradiol. 16a-hydroxyestrone belongs to the class of organic compounds known as estrogens and derivatives. These are steroids with a structure containing a 3-hydroxylated estrane. Thus, 16a-hydroxyestrone is considered to be a steroid molecule. 16a-hydroxyestrone is found in all vertebrates. Vertebrates, especially mammals, metabolizes estrogen into two major pathways and one minor. The two major pathways lead to 2-hydroxyestrone and 16a-hydroxyestrone (2-OHE1 and 16a OHE1 respectively). The minor pathway leads to 4-hydroxyestrone (4-OHE1). 2a-hydroxyestrone is considered to be the good metabolite (PMID: 8943806 ) as 2-hydroxyestrone does not stimulate cell growth and it blocks the action of stronger estrogens that may be carcinogenic. 16a-Hydroxyestrone, on the other hand, has a significantly stronger estrogenic activity, and studies show that it may increase the risk of breast cancer. The binding of 16a-hydroxyestrone to the estrogen receptor is reported to be covalent and irreversible (PMID: 3186693 ). A low urinary ratio of 2-hydroxyestrone to 16-alpha-hydroxyestrone is a strong predictor of breast cancer risk among women (PMID: 19502596 ).
