5A-pregnan-17A-ol-3,20-dione, also known as 17α-hydroxyprogesterone, is a steroid hormone that plays a crucial role in the regulation of various physiological processes, particularly in the reproductive system. It is a derivative of progesterone and is involved in the synthesis of other steroid hormones. This compound is characterized by its specific molecular structure, which includes a pregnane backbone with hydroxyl and ketone functional groups at designated positions. It is typically a white to off-white crystalline powder and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. The substance is primarily studied for its role in endocrine functions and is often used in clinical settings to assess adrenal and gonadal function. Additionally, it has implications in various medical conditions, including congenital adrenal hyperplasia and reproductive health disorders. Safety and handling precautions are essential due to its hormonal activity, and it is regulated in many jurisdictions due to its potential effects on human health.
