:18-Hydroxypregn-4-ene-3,20-dione
Description:
18-Hydroxypregn-4-ene-3,20-dione, also known as 18-hydroxycorticosterone, is a steroid hormone that plays a significant role in the regulation of various physiological processes, particularly in the adrenal cortex. It is a derivative of corticosteroids and is involved in the synthesis of aldosterone, which is crucial for electrolyte balance and blood pressure regulation. The chemical structure features a pregnane backbone with hydroxyl (-OH) groups at the 18th position, contributing to its biological activity. This compound is typically synthesized from progesterone and is characterized by its ability to bind to mineralocorticoid receptors, influencing sodium and potassium homeostasis. In terms of solubility, it is generally more soluble in organic solvents than in water, reflecting its lipophilic nature. The CAS number 596-69-0 uniquely identifies this compound in chemical databases, facilitating its study and application in research and clinical settings. Overall, 18-hydroxypregn-4-ene-3,20-dione is an important molecule in endocrinology and pharmacology, with implications for understanding adrenal function and disorders.
