:5α-Androstan-3α-ol
Description:
5α-Androstan-3α-ol, also known as 3α-hydroxy-5α-androstan, is a steroid alcohol that is derived from testosterone. It is characterized by its structure, which includes a steroid backbone with a hydroxyl group at the 3α position and a saturated A-ring. This compound is typically found in various biological systems, particularly in the context of steroid metabolism. It plays a role in the biosynthesis of other steroid hormones and can be involved in various physiological processes. The substance is known for its relatively low solubility in water but is more soluble in organic solvents. Its biological activity is often linked to its interaction with androgen receptors, influencing androgenic effects. Additionally, 5α-Androstan-3α-ol can be a metabolite of testosterone and is studied for its potential implications in endocrinology and pharmacology. As with many steroid compounds, it is important to handle it with care due to its biological activity and potential effects on human health.

CAS:Controlled Product5alfaAndrostan -3alfa-ol is a synthetic androgen receptor ligand. It binds to the androgen receptor, a transcription factor that regulates gene expression, and stimulates the production of proteins that are involved in infectious diseases. 5alfaAndrostan -3alfa-ol has been shown to stimulate the production of detoxification enzymes in mice. This compound also induces cell death in tissue culture cells by activating apoptosis pathways. 5alfaAndrostan -3alfa-ol has been shown to be toxic in mice, inducing hepatic steatosis, an increase in fat accumulation within liver cells. The toxicity of 5alfaAndrostan -3alfa-ol may be due to its ability to bind fatty acids and activate receptors for these lipids.Formula:C19H32OPurity:Min. 95%Molecular weight:276.46 g/mol
