Cholecalciferol, an example of a 9,10-secosteroid. IUPAC-approved carbon numbering and ring labeling is shown in the picture. Since secosteroids are derived from steroids, they retain the same labeling system as steroids.[1]
The parent steroid skeleton. The B-ring of the parent steroid is broken between C9 and C10 to yield D vitamins.

A secosteroid (/ˈsɛkˌstɛrɔɪd/) is a type of steroid with a "broken" ring. The word secosteroid derives from the Latin verb secare meaning "to cut",[2]: 241  and 'steroid'. Secosteroids are alternatively described as a subclass of steroids[3] or derived from steroids.[4]

Types or subclasses of secosteroids are defined by the carbon atoms of the parent steroid skeleton where the ring cleavage has taken place. For example, 9,10-secosteroids derived from cleavage of the bond between carbon atoms C9 and C10 of the steroid B-ring (similarly 5,6-secosteroids, 13,14-steroids, etc.).[citation needed]

The prototypical secosteroid is cholecalciferol (vitamin D3).[5]

Some nonsteroidal estrogens, like doisynolic acid and allenolic acid, are also secosteroids or secosteroid-like compounds.[citation needed]
