5α-Androstane-3α,17β-diol-[d3] (Solution)

5α-Androstane-3α,17β-diol-[d3] (Solution) is a synthetic steroid hormone that is used in scientific research for the purpose of studying the metabolic pathways of the endogenous steroid hormone testosterone. It is also known as 5α-androstan-3α,17β-diol-3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,10-d17 or Dihydrotestosterone-d3. The solution contains a deuterium-labeled form of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which is a metabolite of testosterone. It is used in research to study the conversion of testosterone to DHT and its role in the development of male sexual characteristics. DHT is also known to play a role in the development of prostate cancer, and this solution is used to study the metabolism of DHT in prostate cells. The chemical formula of 5α-Androstane-3α,17β-diol-[d3] is C19H28O2D3 and its molecular weight is 296.50 g/mol. It is a clear, colorless liquid that is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, methanol, and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). In conclusion, 5α-Androstane-3α,17β-diol-[d3] (Solution) is a useful tool for researchers studying the metabolism of testosterone and its metabolites, particularly in relation to male sexual development and prostate cancer. Its deuterium labeling allows for precise measurements and analysis of the metabolic pathways involved.
