Androst-4-ene-3,6,17-trione

Description:

Androst-4-ene-3,6,17-trione, with the CAS number 2243-06-3, is a synthetic steroid and a derivative of androstane. It is characterized by its three ketone groups located at positions 3, 6, and 17 on the steroid backbone, which contributes to its reactivity and biological activity. This compound is often studied for its potential effects on androgenic activity and its role in various biochemical pathways. It is typically a white to off-white crystalline powder and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Androst-4-ene-3,6,17-trione is primarily used in research settings, particularly in studies related to steroid metabolism and hormone regulation. Its structural modifications allow it to interact with androgen receptors, making it of interest in the fields of endocrinology and pharmacology. However, due to its potent effects, it is essential to handle this compound with care, adhering to safety protocols in laboratory environments.

Androst-4-ene-3,6,17-trione is a natural metabolite of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone that binds to the aromatase enzyme. Androst-4-ene-3,6,17-trione has been shown to inhibit the production of estrogens and increase sex hormone binding globulin levels in vivo. This inhibits the conversion of testosterone to estrogen. Androst-4-ene-3,6,17-trione is also an inhibitor of the enzyme hydrolysis and may be used as a nutritional supplement. It is one of the most potent inhibitors of aromatase found in vivo and hydroxy group can be detected in urine samples using chemical ionization methods. The detection time for this compound is short due to its deuterium isotope effect.
