CAS 16355-28-5: 6B-hydroxycortisone approx. 99%
Description:6B-Hydroxycortisone, with the CAS number 16355-28-5, is a steroid hormone that is a derivative of cortisol, characterized by the presence of a hydroxyl group at the 6β position. This compound is typically a white to off-white crystalline powder, exhibiting a high degree of purity, often around 99%. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and methanol but has limited solubility in water. The substance is known for its biological activity, particularly in the context of anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects, making it relevant in pharmaceutical applications. Its structural modifications compared to cortisol influence its pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. As with many steroid compounds, it may undergo various metabolic transformations in biological systems. Proper handling and storage conditions are essential to maintain its stability and efficacy, as exposure to light and moisture can lead to degradation. Safety data sheets should be consulted for handling precautions, as it may pose health risks if not managed appropriately.
