General Description

16-alpha-bromo-20-oxopregn-5-en-3-beta-yl acetate is a synthetic chemical compound with the molecular formula C23H31BrO4. It is a derivative of the steroid hormone progesterone, specifically modified with a bromine atom at the 16-alpha position and an oxo group at the 20 position. Additionally, it contains an acetate functional group at the 3-beta position. 16-alpha-bromo-20-oxopregn-5-en-3-beta-yl acetate is primarily used in research settings as a precursor for the synthesis of other steroid-based compounds and is not known to have any commercial or pharmaceutical applications. Due to its structural similarity to progesterone, it may have similar biological effects on hormone receptors, but further studies would be needed to determine its specific activities and potential therapeutic uses.
