CAS 481-29-8: Epiandrosterone
Description:Epiandrosterone, with the CAS number 481-29-8, is a naturally occurring steroid hormone that is classified as an androgen. It is a metabolite of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and is produced in the adrenal glands, gonads, and brain. Epiandrosterone is known for its role in the biosynthesis of other steroid hormones and has been studied for its potential effects on muscle growth, mood enhancement, and cognitive function. The chemical structure of epiandrosterone features a steroid backbone, characterized by four fused carbon rings, and it possesses a hydroxyl group, which contributes to its biological activity. It is typically found in the form of a white crystalline powder and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Epiandrosterone is often used in research and has garnered interest in the fields of sports medicine and endocrinology, although its use in competitive sports is regulated due to its potential performance-enhancing effects. As with any steroid, it is important to consider the implications of its use, including legal and health-related aspects.
