:(5β)-17,21-Dihydroxypregnane-3,11,20-trione
Description:
(5β)-17,21-Dihydroxypregnane-3,11,20-trione, commonly known as hydrocortisone, is a steroid hormone that plays a crucial role in various physiological processes. It is classified as a glucocorticoid and is primarily produced in the adrenal cortex. This compound exhibits anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, and metabolic effects, making it significant in medical applications, particularly in treating conditions like allergies, asthma, and autoimmune disorders. Hydrocortisone functions by binding to glucocorticoid receptors, influencing gene expression and modulating the immune response. Its chemical structure features a steroid backbone with hydroxyl groups at the 17 and 21 positions and ketone groups at the 3, 11, and 20 positions, contributing to its biological activity. Hydrocortisone is also involved in the regulation of glucose metabolism, blood pressure, and stress response. Due to its potent effects, it is available in various formulations, including topical creams, oral tablets, and injectable forms, allowing for versatile therapeutic applications.
