Beschreibung

4,16-Androstadien-3-one (4,16A) is a non-competitive inhibitor of 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and 17β hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase. It has significant interactions with humans and testicular enzymes. 4,16A inhibits the production of testosterone in men and estrogens in women by inhibiting the conversion of these steroid hormones to their corresponding metabolites. This inhibition is due to competitive inhibition at the enzyme level. The enzyme has an optimal pH range of 7.5-8.5 and is stimulated by activated chemicals such as hydrogen peroxide or NADPH. 4,16A also interacts with rat liver microsomes as it binds to cytochrome P450 enzymes that catalyze reactions that are necessary for hormone synthesis.
