Product Description:

Androst-4-ene-3β,6β,17β-triol is a naturally occurring steroid metabolite and a derivative of testosterone. It is characterized by a hydroxyl group at the 3β, 6β, and 17β positions on the androstane skeleton. This compound is of significant interest in endocrinology and pharmacology research. Its primary research focus lies in its biological activity as a potential modulator of androgen and estrogen signaling pathways. Studies have investigated its role as a metabolite and its interactions with steroid hormone receptors. It serves as a key intermediate or reference standard in the synthesis and metabolic study of steroidal drugs, particularly those targeting endocrine and metabolic disorders. This compound is utilized as a high-purity biochemical tool in academic and pharmaceutical research to explore steroid metabolism, receptor binding, and the development of novel therapeutic agents related to hormonal regulation.
