5ALPHA-ANDROST-16-EN-3ALPHA-OL Usage And Synthesis

Uses

5ALPHA-ANDROST-16-EN-3ALPHA-OL is an alcohol derivative and can be used as a pharmaceutical intermediate.

Uses

5-α-androst-16-en-3-α-ol (androstenol) is an androgen believed to act as a pheromone. Androstenol has been used in a study to develop a combined gas chromatography/thermal conversion/isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC/TC/IRMS) method for D/H ratio determination of endogenous urinary steroids.

Definition

ChEBI: 5alpha-androst-16-en-3alpha-ol is a 3alpha-sterol. It has a role as a pheromone. It derives from a hydride of a 5alpha-androst-16-ene.

Biochem/physiol Actions

5alpha-androst-16-en-3alpha-ol (androstenol), is an androgen believed to act as a pheromone.
