The molecule is an 11-oxo steroid that is corticosterone in which the hydroxy substituent at the 11beta position has been oxidised to give the corresponding ketone. It has a role as a human metabolite and a mouse metabolite. It is a 21-hydroxy steroid, a 3-oxo-Delta(4) steroid, a 20-oxo steroid, an 11-oxo steroid, a corticosteroid and a primary alpha-hydroxy ketone. It derives from a corticosterone.
