9-hydroxyandrosta-1,4-diene-3,17-dione

Description:

9-Hydroxyandrosta-1,4-diene-3,17-dione, also known as 9-hydroxyandrostenedione, is a steroid hormone and a derivative of androstenedione. It features a hydroxyl group at the 9-position and is characterized by a diene structure between the 1 and 4 positions, along with ketone groups at the 3 and 17 positions. This compound is primarily involved in the biosynthesis of androgens and estrogens, playing a crucial role in steroidogenesis. Its molecular structure contributes to its biological activity, influencing various physiological processes, including muscle growth and metabolism. The compound is of interest in both clinical and research settings, particularly in studies related to hormonal therapies and anabolic steroid use. Additionally, it may exhibit varying degrees of affinity for androgen receptors, impacting its effectiveness in different biological contexts. As with many steroid derivatives, it is essential to handle this compound with care due to its potential effects on hormonal balance and health.
