Estratetraenol, also known as estra-1,3,5(10),16-tetraen-3-ol, is a chemical compound produced by women[1] that has been described as having pheromone-like activities in primates[2], including humans.[3][4][5][6] It is derivative of the sex hormone estradiol, an estrogen, yet has no known estrogenic effects.
