General description

2-Methoxyestrone is an endogenous, naturally occurring methoxylated catechol estrogen and an estrone metabolite formed by catechol O-methyltransferase via the intermediate 2-hydroxyestrone. Unlike estrone but similarly to 2-hydroxyestrone and 2-methoxyestradiol, 2-methoxyestrone has very low affinity for the estrogen receptor and lacks significant estrogenic activity
