Description

Epiandrosterone Glucuronide is a glucuronidated metabolite of the endogenous steroid hormone epiandrosterone. This compound is of significant value as a high-purity reference standard and a critical intermediate in biochemical research and diagnostic development. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical R&D laboratories, clinical research organizations, and manufacturers of in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) kits. Its precise quantification is essential for studies involving androgen metabolism and steroid profiling.

Application

• Biochemical Reference Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for the calibration of analytical instruments like LC-MS/MS in clinical and research settings.
• Diagnostic Kit Manufacturing: Serves as a key antigen or calibrator in the production of immunoassay kits for measuring steroid hormone metabolites.
• Metabolic Pathway Research: Employed in studies investigating the glucuronidation pathways, phase II metabolism, and the pharmacokinetics of androgenic steroids.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Acts as an intermediate or analytical standard in the development and quality control of steroid-based pharmaceuticals.
• Academic Research: Utilized in university and institutional labs for fundamental endocrinology and steroid biochemistry research.
• Doping Control Analysis: Applied as a standard in sports anti-doping laboratories for the accurate detection of endogenous steroid abuse.
