Corticosterone 21-Acetate 11-Nitrite

Description:

Corticosterone 21-Acetate 11-Nitrite, identified by its CAS number 74220-48-7, is a synthetic derivative of corticosterone, a steroid hormone produced in the adrenal cortex. This compound features modifications that include an acetate group at the 21 position and a nitrite group at the 11 position, which can influence its biological activity and solubility. Corticosterone itself plays a crucial role in regulating various physiological processes, including metabolism, immune response, and stress response. The introduction of the acetate and nitrite groups may alter its pharmacokinetics and receptor binding properties, potentially enhancing its therapeutic applications or modifying its side effects. As with many steroid derivatives, the compound may exhibit anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties, making it of interest in pharmacological research. However, detailed studies on its specific characteristics, including its stability, solubility, and biological effects, would be necessary to fully understand its potential applications and safety profile.
