19-Hydroxy-5β-androstane-3,17-dione is a naturally occurring steroid hormone derived from the androstane family. It is characterized by the presence of a hydroxyl group at the 19th carbon position and a ketone group at both the 3rd and 17th carbon positions. 19-hydroxy-5β-androstane-3,17-dione plays a significant role in the biosynthesis of various sex hormones, including testosterone and dihydrotestosterone. It is also involved in the regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, which controls the production and release of sex hormones in the body. Due to its structural similarity to other androgens, 19-hydroxy-5β-androstane-3,17-dione may exhibit androgenic effects, although its specific biological activities and potential applications in medicine are not as well-studied as those of other androgens.
The CAS Registry Mumber 2059-53-2 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 2,0,5 and 9 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 5 and 3 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 2059-53: (6*2)+(5*0)+(4*5)+(3*9)+(2*5)+(1*3)=72 72 % 10 = 2 So 2059-53-2 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
