5-A-Pregnane-3α-20β-diol, with the CAS number 566-57-4, is a steroid compound that belongs to the class of pregnanes, which are derivatives of the steroid nucleus. This compound features a hydroxyl group at the 3α and 20β positions, contributing to its unique chemical properties and biological activity. It is a colorless to pale yellow solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and methanol, but has limited solubility in water. The presence of hydroxyl groups makes it a potential candidate for various biological interactions, including hormonal activity, as it may act as a precursor or metabolite in steroid biosynthesis. Its structural characteristics allow it to participate in various biochemical pathways, potentially influencing physiological processes. Due to its steroidal nature, it may also exhibit effects on the endocrine system, although specific biological activities can vary based on the context of its use. As with many steroid compounds, safety and handling precautions are essential due to potential hormonal effects.
