Pregn-4-ene-3,20-dione-2,2,4,6,6,17,21,21-d8,21-hydroxy- (9CI)

Description:

Pregn-4-ene-3,20-dione-2,2,4,6,6,17,21,21-d8,21-hydroxy- (9CI), with CAS number 55487-63-3, is a synthetic steroid compound that is a deuterated form of a natural steroid hormone. It features a pregnane backbone, characterized by a four-ring structure typical of steroids, with specific modifications including a keto group at positions 3 and 20, and a hydroxyl group at position 21. The presence of deuterium atoms (d8) indicates that certain hydrogen atoms in the molecule have been replaced with deuterium, which can be useful in research applications, particularly in metabolic studies and tracer experiments. This compound is often utilized in biochemical research to study steroid metabolism and receptor interactions. Its structural modifications can influence its biological activity, making it a valuable tool in pharmacological studies. As with many steroid derivatives, it may exhibit various physiological effects depending on its interaction with steroid receptors in the body.
