3α-Hydroxytibolone (developmental code name ORG-4094) is a synthetic steroidal estrogen which was never marketed.[1][2] Along with 3β-hydroxytibolone and δ4-tibolone, it is a major active metabolite of tibolone, and 3α-hydroxytibolone and 3β-hydroxytibolone are thought to be responsible for the estrogenic activity of tibolone.[1][2]
