Abeo-
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-000036
A prefix used in organic nomenclature, particularly for steroids, to denote a rearrangement of the carbon skeleton from its parent structure. This rearrangement typically involves the migration of a bond or a group, resulting in a different ring system or side chain. The prefix indicates that the compound is derived from the parent by a skeletal modification.
