Description

Androsterone Glucuronide Crystalline is a key glucuronide metabolite of the androgen androsterone, widely utilized as a critical reference standard and biomarker in clinical and research settings. Its high purity and crystalline form ensure reliable and reproducible results in quantitative analytical assays. This compound is essential for laboratories in the pharmaceutical, clinical diagnostics, and endocrinology research sectors, where precise measurement of steroid hormone metabolism is required.

Application

• Biomarker Reference Standard: Primary use as a certified reference material (CRM) for the quantification of androsterone glucuronide in biological matrices like serum and urine.
• Clinical Diagnostics: Calibration and quality control in LC-MS/MS and GC-MS assays for diagnosing disorders related to androgen metabolism and endocrine function.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Used in drug metabolism and pharmacokinetic (DMPK) studies to understand the metabolic pathways of steroid-based therapeutics.
• Endocrinology Studies: Fundamental research tool for investigating androgen activity, metabolism, and their roles in health and disease states.
• Anti-Doping Analysis: Serves as a critical standard in sports drug testing to detect the misuse of endogenous anabolic androgenic steroids.
• Method Development & Validation: Essential for developing, optimizing, and validating new analytical methods in bioanalytical laboratories.
