:15-hydroxypregn-4-ene-3,20-dione
Description:
15-Hydroxypregn-4-ene-3,20-dione, commonly known as 15-hydroxyprogesterone, is a steroid hormone that plays a significant role in the regulation of various physiological processes, particularly in the reproductive system. It is a derivative of progesterone and is characterized by the presence of a hydroxyl group at the 15th carbon position. This compound is primarily involved in the synthesis of other steroid hormones and is crucial for maintaining pregnancy and regulating the menstrual cycle. In clinical settings, 15-hydroxyprogesterone is often measured to assess adrenal function and diagnose certain conditions related to hormone imbalances. The substance is typically found in the form of a white to off-white crystalline powder and is soluble in organic solvents. Its biological activity is mediated through interactions with specific steroid hormone receptors, influencing gene expression and cellular functions. Due to its hormonal nature, it is essential to handle this compound with care, considering its potential effects on human health and development.
