CAS 438-22-2

Androstane

Description:

Androstane, with the CAS number 438-22-2, is a steroid hydrocarbon that serves as a fundamental structure in the steroid family. It is characterized by its four fused carbon rings, which is a hallmark of steroid compounds. Androstane is a colorless, crystalline solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Its molecular formula is C19H32, indicating it contains 19 carbon atoms and 32 hydrogen atoms. Androstane is a saturated compound, meaning it has no double bonds in its structure, which contributes to its stability. It is a precursor to various biologically significant steroids, including testosterone and other androgens. In biological systems, androstane derivatives play crucial roles in the regulation of numerous physiological processes, including development, metabolism, and reproductive functions. Due to its structural significance, androstane is often studied in the context of steroid biosynthesis and pharmacology.

Androstane is a human nuclear steroid that has been found to be a constitutive androstane receptor ligand at physiological levels. Androstane has been shown to regulate transcriptional activity through the androgen receptor. It is also an endogenous metabolite of testosterone, with both anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects. Androstane has shown efficacy against infectious diseases such as malaria, which is caused by a protozoan parasite that invades red blood cells. This compound is also used in drug transporter studies, where it has been shown to inhibit the P-glycoprotein efflux pump in cancer cells, leading to increased accumulation of anticancer drugs in tumor cells.
