Androstanone is an analog (similar molecule to) androstenone. If you
look at the study by Erox (do a google search for perfumery and the sixth sense) you'll see that 5a-androstan-3-one
(androstanone) is one of the only few which evoke appreciable VNO responses from women, moreso than androstenone.
Androstadienone is well known and a no-brainer (see the pherolibrary)
Equilin (aka estratetraenone) is an
analog of methoxyestratetraenone, a product offered by a few distributors.
Estradiol has been known to evoke
appreciable pheromonal effects upon men, but is regulated by FDA as an estrogen hormone.
Estratetraenol is like
Androstadienone (it is well known).
estratrienol is to estratetraenol as androstanone is to androstenone. They
both have fully saturated C16-C17 groups and are more volatile than their unsaturated parent compounds.
