DETAILS
Description:
Pregnenolone is a steroid hormone involved in the steroid genesis of progesterone, mineral corticoids, glucocorticoids, androgens, and estrogens. As such it is a prohormone.
Pregnenolone is a GABAA antagonist and increases neurogenesis in the hippocampus. Like other steroids, pregnenolone consists of four interconnected cyclic hydrocarbons.
It contains ketone and hydroxyl functional groups, two methyl branches, and a double bond at C5, in the B cyclic hydrocarbon ring. Like all steroid hormones, it is hydrophobic.
Its esterified version, pregnenolone sulfate, is water-soluble.
Function & Application
It is used in the synthesis of Pregnenolone acetate drug intermediate and Pregnenolone acetate drugs, intermediate for the synthesis of progesterone,antiflamison.
1. Pregnenolone acetate ,Used in the synthesis of steroid drug intermediate and steroid drugs;
2. Pregnenolone acetate ,Used as intermediate for the synthesis of progesterone, antiflamison;
3. With the same function of corticosteroids anti-inflammatory.
