Metabolite Identification
Common Name2-Methoxyestrone
Description2-Methoxyestrone is a phenolic compound belonging to the class of estrogen metabolites. It is formed through the O-methylation of estrone and plays a role in various biochemical pathways, particularly in steroid hormone biosynthesis. Research indicates that 2-methoxyestrone is involved in the regulation of estrogen metabolism, as evidenced by its increased levels in response to the knockdown of leucine rich repeat containing 51 (LRRC51), which also affects estradiol concentrations and promotes apoptosis (PMID:41110213 ). Furthermore, the ratio of 2-methoxyestrone to 2-OH-E1, a phase-1 estrogen metabolite, is indicative of estrogen detoxification capacity and can be influenced by genetic variants such as COMT (PMID:41103795 ). Notably, 2-methoxyestrone levels are significantly elevated in women using combined oral contraceptives (PMID:40858744 ) and peak during mid-pregnancy before gradually decreasing (PMID:40069295 ). It is also associated with various steroid metabolites in endometrial tissue, highlighting its relevance in ovarian and follicular development (PMID:39631551 ). Additionally, conjugated forms of 2-methoxyestrone have been linked to oral microbial diversity (PMID:37341612 ).
