3-(Acetyloxy)pregna-5,16-dien-20-one

Description:

3-(Acetyloxy)pregna-5,16-dien-20-one, with the CAS number 38521-84-5, is a synthetic steroid compound that belongs to the class of progestins. It is characterized by its structural modifications, which include an acetoxy group at the C-3 position and a double bond between the C-5 and C-6 positions, as well as a conjugated system involving the C-16 position. This compound exhibits hormonal activity, primarily functioning as a progestational agent, which means it can influence the menstrual cycle and support pregnancy. Its chemical structure contributes to its binding affinity for progesterone receptors, making it relevant in pharmaceutical applications, particularly in contraceptive formulations and hormone replacement therapies. Additionally, the presence of the acetoxy group enhances its lipophilicity, potentially affecting its absorption and metabolism in biological systems. As with many steroid derivatives, it may also exhibit a range of biological effects, including anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties.
