Petromyzestrosterol (1), a novel polyhydroxylated steroid, was identified from water conditioned with sexually mature male sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus), a jawless vertebrate animal. Along with this novel steroid, two known steroids, 7α,12α,24-trihydroxy-5α-cholan-3-one-24-sulfate (3k PZS) and 7α,12α,24-trihydroxy-5α-cholan-24-sulfate (PZS), were isolated. Structures of these compounds were unequivocally established by spectroscopic analyses and by comparison with spectra of known compounds. Electro-olfactogram recordings (EOG) showed that 1 at nanomolar concentrations was stimulatory for the olfactory epithelium of adult females. 3k PZS, known to function as a male sex pheromone, was more stimulatory than 1 for the female olfactory epithelia. The concentration-response curve of 3k PZS was exponential in shape with steep slopes between 10–10 and 10–6 mol L–1. The concentration–response curve for 1 was shallower than that for 3k PZS.
► Petromyzestrosterol was isolated from the sexually mature male sea lamprey.
► The structure and configuration were determined by MS and NMR analysis.
► Petromyzestrosterol is the first steroidal tetrol estrogen from the sea lamprey.
► The sensitivity of olfactory system to Petromyzestrosterol was determined.
