(3β,5α)-3-Hydroxypregn-16-en-20-one

Description:

(3β,5α)-3-Hydroxypregn-16-en-20-one, commonly known as 5α-dihydroprogesterone, is a steroid hormone that plays a significant role in various biological processes. It is derived from progesterone and is characterized by its hydroxyl group at the 3-position and a double bond between the 16 and 17 positions in the steroid nucleus. This compound exhibits a high affinity for progesterone receptors, influencing reproductive functions and the menstrual cycle. It is primarily involved in the regulation of the endometrium and is crucial for maintaining pregnancy. The substance is lipophilic, allowing it to easily cross cell membranes and exert its effects on target tissues. Additionally, it is synthesized in the adrenal glands and gonads, contributing to the overall steroidogenesis pathway. Its CAS number, 566-61-0, is a unique identifier that facilitates the cataloging and study of this compound in scientific literature and databases. Overall, (3β,5α)-3-Hydroxypregn-16-en-20-one is an important molecule in endocrinology and reproductive health.
