21-Acetoxypregnenolone

Description:

21-Acetoxypregnenolone, with the CAS number 566-78-9, is a steroid hormone that belongs to the class of pregnanes. It is characterized by the presence of an acetoxy group at the 21-position of the pregnene structure, which is derived from cholesterol. This compound is a derivative of pregnenolone, a precursor in the biosynthesis of various steroid hormones, including progesterone and corticosteroids. 21-Acetoxypregnenolone exhibits biological activity and is involved in various physiological processes, including the regulation of metabolism and immune response. Its structural features include a steroid nucleus with multiple rings and functional groups that influence its solubility and reactivity. The compound is typically studied in the context of endocrinology and pharmacology, where it may have implications for hormone replacement therapies and the understanding of steroid hormone action. As with many steroid derivatives, it is important to handle 21-acetoxypregnenolone with care, considering its potential biological effects and regulatory status in research and therapeutic applications.

21-Acetoxypregnenolone is a progestational hormone that is used to treat various types of gynecological disorders. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of leukemia cells and stimulate human epidermal keratinocytes, which are important in the formation of skin. 21-Acetoxypregnenolone binds to specific receptors on the cell membrane and activates biochemical reactions that lead to changes in gene expression. The drug also stimulates the production of cortisone, which has anti-inflammatory properties, and epidermal growth factor, which promotes cell growth.
