Antihypertensor

The Uses of Androsterone

Typical urinary 17-oxosteroid, formed by the metabolic reduction of testosterone. Less potent than testosterone.

Definition

ChEBI: An androstanoid that is 5alpha-androstane having a hydroxy substituent at the 3alpha-position and an oxo group at the 17-position. It is a metabolite of dehydroepiandrosterone .

Purification Methods

Crystallise androsterone from Me2CO/Et2O or Me2CO and sublime it in high vacuum. The acetate [1164-95-0] crystallises from Et2O, Me2CO/Et2O or aqueous EtOH and sublimes in high vacuum with m 165-166o, [] D 25 +87o (c 2, EtOH).
