CAS 1097-51-4: 16α,17α-Epoxyprogesterone
Description:16α,17α-Epoxyprogesterone, with the CAS number 1097-51-4, is a synthetic steroid hormone derived from progesterone. It features an epoxy group at the 16α and 17α positions, which alters its biological activity compared to natural progesterone. This compound is characterized by its molecular formula, which reflects its steroid structure, and it typically exhibits a solid or crystalline form at room temperature. The presence of the epoxy group enhances its reactivity and can influence its interaction with biological receptors. 16α,17α-Epoxyprogesterone is primarily studied for its potential applications in pharmacology, particularly in the development of contraceptives and hormone replacement therapies. Its unique structural modifications may also confer specific pharmacokinetic properties, such as altered metabolism and bioavailability. As with many steroid derivatives, it is important to consider its safety profile and potential side effects in therapeutic contexts. Overall, this compound represents a significant interest in the field of medicinal chemistry and endocrinology.
