Androstan-3-one

Description:

Androstan-3-one, also known as 3-ketoandrostan, is a steroid hormone and a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of androgens. It is characterized by its structure, which includes a steroid backbone with a ketone functional group at the C3 position. This compound is typically found in various biological systems and plays a role in the regulation of male characteristics and reproductive functions. Androstan-3-one is known for its relatively low solubility in water, but it is soluble in organic solvents, which is common for steroid compounds. Its molecular formula reflects its composition of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms, contributing to its biological activity. The substance is often studied in the context of endocrinology and pharmacology, particularly regarding its effects on behavior and physiology in both humans and animals. Additionally, it has been investigated for its potential applications in the fields of sports science and veterinary medicine. As with many steroids, its use is subject to regulation due to potential anabolic effects.

5alpha-Androstan-3-one

Controlled Product

CAS: 1224-95-9

5alpha-Androstan-3-one is a metabolic intermediate of testosterone. It is found in the urine of humans and other mammals, but at concentrations that are 10 to 100 times lower than those of testosterone. It is also found in some plants and fungi. 5alpha-Androstan-3-one can be synthesized from cholesterol, or it can be formed by the hydroxylation of testosterone in response to the action of cytochrome P450 enzymes. The synthesis of 5alpha-androstan-3-one from cholesterol requires a significant amount of energy, so it is not likely to be a major route for its production. In contrast, the conversion of testosterone to 5alpha-androstan-3-one is an important pathway for maintaining physiological levels of this metabolite. The activity of 5alpha-androstan-3-one has been shown to depend on its concentration in tissues and cells. At low concentrations (less than 10 nM) 5alpha -
