17α-19-Dihydroxy-progesterone, also known as 17α,19-dihydroxy-4-pregnene-3,20-dione, is a naturally occurring steroid hormone derived from progesterone. It plays a crucial role in the human endocrine system, particularly in the synthesis of other hormones such as cortisol, aldosterone, and androgens. 17α-19-Dihydroxy-progesteron is a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of these hormones, and its production is regulated by various enzymes and factors within the adrenal cortex and gonads. The chemical structure of 17α-19-dihydroxy-progesterone consists of a pregnane skeleton with hydroxyl groups at the 17α and 19 positions, which are essential for its biological activity and further conversion into other hormones. Its study is important for understanding the regulation of hormone production and for the development of therapeutic strategies targeting hormonal imbalances.
The CAS Registry Mumber 596-61-2 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 5,9 and 6 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 6 and 1 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 596-61: (5*5)+(4*9)+(3*6)+(2*6)+(1*1)=92 92 % 10 = 2 So 596-61-2 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
