Product Description:

3-Oxoandrost-4-ene-17beta-carboxylic acid is a steroidal carboxylic acid derivative. It serves as a key synthetic intermediate in the production of various steroid-based active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Its structure features a 17β-carboxylic acid group and a 3-oxo-4-ene moiety, which are common handles for further chemical modifications. This compound is primarily utilized in the synthesis of steroidal drugs, particularly those targeting the endocrine system. It is a crucial precursor in the manufacturing of steroidal anti-inflammatory agents, such as deflazacort, and other glucocorticoids. The 17β-carboxylic acid group is essential for introducing specific functionalities that modulate the biological activity and pharmacokinetic properties of the final drug molecules. As a specialized steroidal building block, it is of significant importance in pharmaceutical research and development for creating novel therapeutic agents. Handling requires standard laboratory precautions for fine chemicals.
