Androstane-3,17-dione

Description:
Androstane-3,17-dione, also known as 5-androstenedione, is a steroid hormone and an important intermediate in the biosynthesis of androgens and estrogens. It is characterized by its structure, which includes a steroid nucleus with a ketone functional group at both the 3 and 17 positions. This compound is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and methanol, but has limited solubility in water. Androstane-3,17-dione plays a significant role in the endocrine system, influencing various physiological processes, including muscle growth and fat distribution. It is also of interest in the field of sports medicine due to its potential use as a performance-enhancing substance. Additionally, it can be synthesized from cholesterol through a series of enzymatic reactions in the body. Safety and regulatory considerations are important, as it may have implications for health and legality in various contexts, particularly in athletics.
