5β-Androstane-17β-ol-3-one(CAT: R026778) is a naturally occurring steroid belonging to the androstane family, characterized by a saturated tetracyclic ring system with a 17β-hydroxyl and a 3-ketone functional group. This compound serves as a key intermediate in steroid hormone biosynthesis and metabolism studies. Its 5β-orientation induces a bent molecular conformation, influencing receptor binding and biological activity distinct from its 5α-epimer. 5β-Androstane-17β-ol-3-one is widely used in endocrinology research, drug metabolism studies, and the synthesis of steroid derivatives. Its structural framework makes it valuable for probing androgenic and anabolic pathways, as well as for developing therapeutic agents targeting hormone-related disorders.
