CAS 979-02-2: Dehydropregnenolone acetate
Description:Dehydropregnenolone acetate is a synthetic steroid and a derivative of pregnenolone, characterized by its structural modifications that enhance its biological activity. It is typically presented as a white to off-white crystalline powder and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and chloroform, but has limited solubility in water. This compound is primarily used in research and has applications in the study of steroid hormones and their effects on various biological processes. Dehydropregnenolone acetate acts as a prohormone, influencing the synthesis of other steroid hormones, including androgens and estrogens. Its pharmacological properties may include effects on mood, cognition, and neuroprotection, making it of interest in neuroendocrine studies. However, due to its potent biological activity, it is essential to handle this compound with care, adhering to safety protocols in laboratory settings. As with many synthetic steroids, the use of dehydropregnenolone acetate in clinical settings is subject to regulatory scrutiny, and its therapeutic applications are still under investigation.
