16α,17α-Epoxypregnenolone

Description:

16α,17α-Epoxypregnenolone, with the CAS number 974-23-2, is a steroid compound that is classified as an epoxide derivative of pregnenolone. This compound features a unique epoxide functional group at the 16α and 17α positions, which contributes to its reactivity and biological activity. It is a colorless to pale yellow solid that is typically insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. The presence of the epoxide group can influence its interaction with biological systems, potentially affecting steroid hormone synthesis and metabolism. As a steroid, it shares structural similarities with other steroid hormones, which may allow it to interact with steroid receptors. Its biological significance is of interest in pharmacology and biochemistry, particularly in the context of neurosteroid research and potential therapeutic applications. However, detailed studies on its specific biological effects and mechanisms of action are necessary to fully understand its role in biological systems.

16α,17α-Epoxypregnenolone

CAS: 974-23-2

16alpha,17alpha-Epoxypregnenolone is a synthetic insect odorant that binds to the odorant binding protein (OBP) and has been used in research to investigate the relationship between odorant binding and olfaction. The OBPs are thought to play an important role in the detection of odors by binding to specific odorants, which then initiate a sensory response. 16alpha,17alpha-Epoxypregnenolone has also been shown to bind with recombinant OBP and have fluorescence properties, making it useful for biosensors. This compound may be useful as an experimental or research tool for investigating olfactory receptors in insects or other organisms.
