4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-naphthaldehyde oxime

**Description:** 4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-naphthaldehyde oxime is a synthetic small molecule with the molecular formula C17H13NO2 and a molecular weight of approximately 263.29 g/mol[1][2][5]. It features both a naphthalene moiety and an oxime functional group, as well as a para-hydroxylated phenyl ring. This compound is primarily studied for its interaction with estrogen receptors, particularly estrogen receptor beta, where it acts as an inhibitor[5][7]. Its binding affinity and selectivity for estrogen receptor beta have been demonstrated in biochemical assays, suggesting potential utility in modulating diseases influenced by estrogen signaling[5]. However, it has not been approved for any clinical use and remains classified as experimental[4].
