2α,17β-diacetoxy-estr-4-en-3-one is a synthetic steroid compound derived from the naturally occurring hormone estradiol. It is characterized by the presence of two acetoxy groups, one at the 2α position and the other at the 17β position, and a ketone group at the 3 position of the estrane ring system. This chemical modification enhances the stability and bioavailability of the molecule, making it a potent estrogen agonist. It is used in pharmaceutical applications, particularly in the development of contraceptives and hormone replacement therapies, due to its ability to mimic the effects of estrogen in the body. The acetoxy groups are later metabolized in the body, releasing the parent compound and allowing it to exert its biological effects.
The CAS Registry Mumber 4601-35-8 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 4,6,0 and 1 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 3 and 5 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 4601-35: (6*4)+(5*6)+(4*0)+(3*1)+(2*3)+(1*5)=68 68 % 10 = 8 So 4601-35-8 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
