Pregnane
CAS:Controlled ProductPregnane is an analog of progesterone that has been identified as a potential anticancer agent. It has been shown to have potent inhibitory effects on various cancer cells by blocking the activity of kinases, which are enzymes that regulate cell growth and division. Pregnane induces apoptosis in cancer cells by activating proteins that trigger programmed cell death. This compound also acts as a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, which prevents the progression of the cell cycle and inhibits tumor growth. Pregnane has been detected in human urine and Chinese medicinal herbs, indicating its natural occurrence in biological systems. Its potential as a therapeutic agent against cancer is currently being investigated.Formula:C21H36Purity:Min. 95%Molecular weight:288.5 g/mol
