General description

Androsterone is a tetracydic compound which forms mono-esters or mono-oxime with one hydroxyl group and one keto group respectively.

Application

Androsterone has been used as working reference standard in identifying natural androgen steroids using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS–MS) in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) from bovine and urine samples.

High-precision carbon isotope ratio analysis of urinary steroids by gas chromatography-combustion-isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC-C-IRMS) is the official test to detect illicit doping of synthetic versions of endogenous steroids, such as testosterone. Our group created the first steroid isotopic standards

Steroid detection and identification remain key issues in toxicology, drug testing, medical diagnostics, food safety control, and doping control. In this study, we evaluate the capabilities and usefulness of analyzing non-hydrolyzed sulfated steroids with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) instead of
