Description

16Alpha-Hydroxyetiocholanolone is a specific hydroxysteroid derivative of etiocholanolone, a key metabolite in steroid hormone pathways. This compound is of significant value as a high-purity reference standard and a critical intermediate in pharmaceutical research and development. It is primarily required by research institutions, pharmaceutical companies, and contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs) engaged in steroid synthesis, metabolic studies, and analytical method development.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used for the qualitative and quantitative analysis (e.g., HPLC, LC-MS) of steroid metabolites in research and quality control laboratories.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a key intermediate or substrate in studies investigating steroid metabolism, enzyme function, and endocrine pathways.
• Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) Synthesis: Acts as a crucial building block in the multi-step synthesis of more complex steroid-based therapeutic agents.
• Diagnostic Development: Utilized in the development and calibration of diagnostic assays and kits designed to measure specific steroid hormone levels.
