CAS 2484-30-2: 6-Dehydrotestosterone
Description:6-Dehydrotestosterone, identified by the CAS number 2484-30-2, is a steroid hormone that is structurally related to testosterone. It is characterized by the presence of a double bond at the 6-position of the steroid nucleus, which differentiates it from testosterone and contributes to its unique biological properties. This compound is part of the androgen class of hormones, which are crucial for the development of male characteristics and reproductive functions. 6-Dehydrotestosterone is known to exhibit anabolic properties, influencing muscle growth and strength. Additionally, it may have implications in various physiological processes, including metabolism and hair growth. The compound is typically synthesized in the body from testosterone and can also be produced through chemical processes in laboratory settings. Its use and study are often associated with fields such as endocrinology, pharmacology, and sports medicine, where it may be investigated for its potential therapeutic applications or effects on performance enhancement. As with many steroids, the regulation and ethical considerations surrounding its use are significant in both medical and athletic contexts.
