:20β-Dihydropregnenolone
Description:
20β-Dihydropregnenolone, also known as 20β-hydroxypregn-5-en-3-one, is a steroid hormone that plays a role in the biosynthesis of other steroid hormones. It is derived from pregnenolone, which is a precursor in the steroidogenesis pathway. This compound is characterized by its hydroxyl group at the 20β position, which distinguishes it from other steroid derivatives. It is typically a white to off-white crystalline powder and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. The substance exhibits biological activity, influencing various physiological processes, including neurosteroid activity in the central nervous system. Its potential therapeutic applications are being explored, particularly in relation to neuroprotection and mood regulation. As with many steroid compounds, it is important to handle 20β-Dihydropregnenolone with care, considering its biological effects and regulatory status in various jurisdictions.

CAS:Controlled Product<p>Pregnenolone is a steroid hormone that is synthesized from cholesterol and secreted into the blood. It can be converted to other steroids such as progesterone, testosterone, and estradiol. Pregnenolone sulfate (PS) is a metabolite of pregnenolone that is produced by the enzyme steroid sulfatase. PS is an endogenous steroid hormone that has been shown to have potentiating effects on memory. This drug also inhibits the activity of sulfatase enzymes, which are responsible for breaking down steroids in the body.</p>Formula:C21H34O2Purity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:PowderMolecular weight:318.49 g/mol
