Metabolite Identification
Common NameEstrone
DescriptionEstrone, also known as folliculin or estrovarin, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as estrogens and derivatives. These are steroids with a structure containing a 3-hydroxylated estrane. Thus, estrone is considered to be a steroid lipid molecule. Estrone is a drug which is used for management of perimenopausal and postmenopausal symptoms. Estrone exists as a solid, very hydrophobic, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral molecule. Estrone exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Estrone participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, Estrone and phosphoadenosine phosphosulfate can be converted into estrone sulfate and adenosine 3',5'-diphosphate through the action of the enzyme estrogen sulfotransferase. In addition, Estrone can be converted into 2-hydroxyestrone; which is mediated by the enzyme cytochrome P450 1A1. In cattle, estrone is involved in the metabolic pathway called the estrone metabolism pathway. Estrone is a potentially toxic compound.
