3β,7β-Dihydroxy-5α-androstan-17-one

Description:
3β,7β-Dihydroxy-5α-androstan-17-one, also known as 17-hydroxy-DHEA, is a steroid compound that belongs to the class of androgens. It is characterized by the presence of two hydroxyl (-OH) groups at the 3β and 7β positions of the steroid nucleus, which contributes to its biological activity. This compound is derived from dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and plays a role in various physiological processes, including the regulation of metabolism and immune function. It is often studied for its potential effects on hormone balance and its implications in conditions such as adrenal insufficiency and aging. The compound has a specific molecular structure that includes a cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene core, typical of steroid hormones, and its activity can be influenced by the stereochemistry of the hydroxyl groups. As a research chemical, it is primarily used in biochemical studies to explore its effects on cellular pathways and its potential therapeutic applications.
