Description

3-Keto Petromyzonol is a specialized ketone derivative of petromyzonol, a key bile alcohol found in lampreys. This compound serves as a valuable high-purity biochemical intermediate and research standard for studying bile acid biosynthesis and steroid metabolism pathways. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical research organizations, academic institutions, and biochemical manufacturers engaged in advanced metabolic studies and fine chemical synthesis.

Application

• Biochemical Research Standard: Used as a reference compound in the study of bile alcohol and steroid biosynthesis, particularly in evolutionary biology and comparative metabolism.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key synthetic precursor or building block in the development of novel therapeutic agents targeting metabolic pathways.
• Metabolite Analysis: Employed as an analytical standard in LC-MS, GC-MS, and HPLC methods for the identification and quantification of related steroidal compounds in biological samples.
• Enzymology Studies: Utilized as a substrate or inhibitor in enzymatic assays to investigate the activity of hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases and other metabolic enzymes.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a starting material or intermediate for the custom synthesis of more complex, labeled, or derivative steroidal molecules for research purposes.
