Also known as cortodoxone, (2R,10R,14R,15S)-14-hydroxy-14-(2-hydroxyacetyl)-2,15-dimethyltetracyclo[8.7.0.0^{2,7}.0^{11,15}]heptadec-6-en-5-one, 17-Hydroxy-11-deoxycorticosterone, 11-Deoxy-17-hydroxy-Corticosterone, Reichstein'S substance S, 11-Dioxy-Cortisol, Reichstein'S compound S, 11-Deoxy-17-hydroxycorticosterone

11-Deoxycortisol, also known as cortodoxone (INN), cortexolone as well as 17α,21-dihydroxyprogesterone or 17α,21-dihydroxypregn-4-ene-3,20-dione, is an endogenous glucocorticoid steroid hormone, and a metabolic intermediate toward cortisol. It was first described by Tadeusz Reichstein in 1938 as Substance S, thus has also been referred to as '''Reichstein's Substance S or Compound S'''.
