:4-pregnene-17-A-20-B-21-triol-*3-11-dione
Description:
The chemical substance known as 4-pregnene-17α-20β-21-triol-3,11-dione, with the CAS number 116-59-6, is a steroid compound that belongs to the class of hormones known as corticosteroids. It is characterized by a steroid backbone, which consists of four fused carbon rings. This compound features multiple hydroxyl (-OH) groups and a ketone functional group, contributing to its biological activity. It is primarily involved in various physiological processes, including metabolism, immune response regulation, and stress response. The presence of hydroxyl groups indicates that it can engage in hydrogen bonding, influencing its solubility and interaction with biological receptors. As a steroid, it is lipophilic, allowing it to easily cross cell membranes and exert its effects on target cells. This compound is of interest in both pharmacology and biochemistry, particularly in the study of steroid hormones and their derivatives. Its specific biological functions and applications may vary, but it is generally associated with the modulation of various metabolic pathways.

20β-Dihydrocortisone
CAS:Controlled Product<p>Applications 20β-Dihydrocortisone is a metabolite of Cortisol (H714615), a steroid hormone, more specifically a glucocorticoid, produced by the zona fasciculata of the adrenal gland. Cortisol is released in response to stress and a low level of blood glucocorticoids. Its primary functions are to increase blood sugar through gluconeogenesis; suppress the immune system; and aid in fat, protein and carbohydrate metabolism.<br>References Reach, G., et. al.: Steroids, 30, 621 (1977); Vigore, L., et al.: Cancer Ther., 6, 699 (2008); Puurunen, J., et al.: J.
