Allenolic acid, or allenoic acid, is a synthetic,[1] non-steroidal estrogen discovered in 1947 or 1948 that, although studied clinically,[2] was never marketed.[3][4][5] It is an open-ring or seco analogue of steroidal estrogens like estrone and equilenin.[6][7][8] The compound was named after Edgar Allen, one of the pioneers in estrogen research.[9][10] The methyl ether of allenolic acid, methallenestril (brand name Vallestril), is also an estrogen and, in contrast to allenolic acid, has been marketed.[11][12][13][14]
