Hecogenin acetate(CAT: R019995) is a steroidal sapogenin derivative widely used as a key intermediate in the semi-synthesis of corticosteroids and other steroid-based pharmaceuticals. As an acetylated form of hecogenin, it exhibits improved stability and processability for chemical transformations. Hecogenin acetate is commonly sourced from Agave species and serves as an important raw material in industrial steroid synthesis. Beyond its synthetic utility, it is also of interest in pharmacological studies for its potential anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and gastroprotective properties. This compound provides a reliable starting material for research in steroid chemistry, natural product derivatization, and drug development.
