4-Androsten-11β-ol-3,17-dione (11OHA4) is a steroid that has been found in isolated human female adrenal veins.1 It is non-androgenic, however, it is metabolized to the androgenic 5α-reduced C19 steroids 11-hydroxy-5α-androstanedione, 11-keto-5α-androstanedione, 11-hydroxydihydrotestosterone, and 11-ketodihydrotestosterone in LNCaP cells.
