• Description: 16-Dehydropregnenolone acetate is a synthetic compound that can be used in wastewater treatment. It reacts with phosphorus pentoxide to form an insoluble solid product. 16-Dehydropregnenolone acetate has been shown to inhibit the growth of human prostate cancer cells and breast cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. 16-Dehydropregnenolone acetate is also a specific agonist for the progesterone receptor, which may be due to its ability to bind to the stereospecific (S) binding site on this receptor. The optimum concentration for 16-dehydropregnanediol is 10 mM and it requires the presence of phosphotungstic acid for maximum activity. This substance has biological properties that are similar to those of natural progesterones, but it does not have any estrogenic properties.
