:3-Acetyloxypregn-16-en-20-one
Description:
3-Acetyloxypregn-16-en-20-one, commonly known as a synthetic steroid, is characterized by its structural features that include a pregnane backbone with an acetoxy group at the 3-position and a double bond between the 16 and 17 positions. This compound is part of the broader class of corticosteroids and is often studied for its biological activity, particularly in relation to hormonal functions and potential therapeutic applications. It exhibits properties typical of steroids, such as lipophilicity, which allows it to easily cross cell membranes and interact with steroid receptors. The presence of the acetoxy group enhances its stability and solubility in organic solvents. Additionally, this compound may have implications in pharmacology, particularly in the development of anti-inflammatory or anabolic agents. Its CAS number, 1169-20-6, is a unique identifier that facilitates the tracking and study of this substance in scientific literature and regulatory databases. Overall, 3-Acetyloxypregn-16-en-20-one is significant in both research and potential therapeutic contexts.
