Pregn-4-ene-3,20-dione,11,17-dihydroxy-, (11a)-

Description:

Pregn-4-ene-3,20-dione, 11,17-dihydroxy-, (11a)-, commonly known as 11-hydroxyprogesterone, is a steroid hormone that plays a crucial role in the regulation of various physiological processes. It is a derivative of progesterone, characterized by the presence of hydroxyl groups at the 11 and 17 positions on the steroid nucleus. This compound is typically a white to off-white crystalline powder, and it is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and methanol but has limited solubility in water. Its molecular structure includes a steroid backbone, which is essential for its biological activity, particularly in the reproductive system and in the maintenance of pregnancy. 11-hydroxyprogesterone is involved in the synthesis of other steroid hormones and is often studied for its potential therapeutic applications in reproductive health and endocrinology. As with many steroid compounds, it may exhibit various biological effects, including anti-inflammatory properties and modulation of immune responses. Proper handling and storage are essential due to its biological activity and potential effects on human health.
