General description

1,4-Androstadiene-3,17-dione is a 17-keto anabolic steroid.

Biochem/physiol Actions

1,4-Androstadiene-3,17-dione is a prohormone that converts to an active steroid through the 17bHSD enzyme. 1,4-Androstadiene-3,17-dione is a metabolite of progesterone.
1,4-Androstadiene-3,17-dione is useful in forming pharmaceutically important steroids. Regio- and stereospecific hydroxylation of 1,4-androstadiene-3,17-dione increases its biological activity. Its derivative is also used to produce high-value bile acids. 1,4-Androstadiene-3,17-dione serves as a precursor for the synthesis of progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, estradiol, cortisone, prednisolone, and prednisone.

Steroids are a group of organic compounds that include sex hormones, adrenal cortical hormones, sterols, and phytosterols. In mammals, steroid biosynthesis starts from cholesterol via multiple steps to the final steroid and occurs in the gonads, adrenal glands, and placenta.
