Produktinformation

• Name: 5α-Pregnane-3,20-dione
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: 5alpha-Pregnane-3,20-dione is a naturally occurring sex steroid hormone. It is produced by the ovaries and testes in humans and other mammals, as well as by the adrenal glands in small amounts. 5alpha-Pregnane-3,20-dione has been shown to inhibit the enzyme activity of hepatic microsomes that are responsible for the conversion of progesterone to 17beta-hydroxyprogesterone (17betaOHP). This inhibition is due to its ability to bind to glucocorticoid receptors. 5alpha-Pregnane-3,20-dione also inhibits fatty acid synthesis in liver cells. The drug's antiproliferative effects on ovarian cells are mediated through a number of mechanisms including transcriptional repression of progesterone receptors and estradiol benzoate binding sites on DNA. 5alpha-Pregnane-3,20-dione has been shown to have an optimal
