6alpha-Methylcortisone is a synthetic corticosteroid derived from cortisol, a naturally occurring hormone in the human body. It is characterized by the presence of a methyl group at the 6alpha position, which enhances its anti-inflammatory properties compared to its parent compound. This modification allows 6alpha-methylcortisone to have a longer duration of action and increased potency, making it useful in the treatment of various inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and other autoimmune diseases. The chemical structure of 6alpha-methylcortisone consists of a four-ring steroid nucleus with a hydroxyl group at the 11beta position and a methyl group at the 6alpha position, which contributes to its unique pharmacological profile.
The CAS Registry Mumber 1746-38-9 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 1,7,4 and 6 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 3 and 8 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 1746-38: (6*1)+(5*7)+(4*4)+(3*6)+(2*3)+(1*8)=89 89 % 10 = 9 So 1746-38-9 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
