CAS 1778-02-5: Pregnenolone acetate
Description:Pregnenolone acetate is a steroid hormone and a derivative of pregnenolone, which serves as a precursor to various steroid hormones in the body. It is characterized by its molecular structure, which includes a steroid nucleus with an acetate group attached, enhancing its lipophilicity and biological activity. Pregnenolone acetate is typically a white to off-white crystalline powder and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and chloroform, but has limited solubility in water. This compound plays a role in the synthesis of other hormones, including progesterone and cortisol, and is involved in various physiological processes, including neurosteroid activity, which can influence mood and cognitive functions. Due to its hormonal nature, pregnenolone acetate is often studied for its potential therapeutic applications in hormone replacement therapy and neuroprotection. However, its use should be approached with caution, as it can have significant biological effects and may interact with various physiological pathways.
