Description

7β,15β-Dihydroxyprogesterone is a synthetic steroid derivative of progesterone, characterized by the addition of two hydroxyl groups at the 7-beta and 15-beta positions. This specific structural modification makes it a valuable intermediate in the synthesis of more complex steroid hormones and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). It is primarily utilized by research institutions and pharmaceutical manufacturers engaged in steroid chemistry and drug development. The compound's defined structure offers a critical building block for creating novel therapeutic agents with targeted biological activity.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key synthetic precursor in the production of specialized corticosteroid and other steroid-based APIs.
• Research & Development: Used in academic and industrial laboratories for studying steroid metabolism, receptor interactions, and structure-activity relationships (SAR).
• Reference Standard: Employed as an analytical standard in quality control laboratories for method development and impurity profiling of related steroid compounds.
• Biochemical Research: Applied in studies investigating enzyme inhibition, hormonal pathways, and the development of novel endocrine therapies.

Quality Control

Our 7β,15β-Dihydroxyprogesterone is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for research and synthesis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container should be kept in a desiccated environment to prevent degradation.
