  2. 5α-Pregnanes

Allopregnanediol

Allopregnanediol, or 5α-pregnane-3α,20α-diol, is an endogenous metabolite of progesterone and allopregnanolone and an isomer of pregnanediol (5β-pregnan-3α,20α-diol). Allopregnane and Allopregnanediol are steroid stubs.

See Allopregnane and Allopregnanediol

Allopregnanolone

Allopregnanolone is a naturally occurring neurosteroid which is made in the body from the hormone progesterone. Allopregnane and Allopregnanolone are 5α-Pregnanes.

Etiocholane

Etiocholane, also known as 5β-androstane or 5-epiandrostane, is an androstane (C19) steroid.

Gonane

Gonane (cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene) is a chemical compound with formula, whose structure consists of four hydrocarbon rings fused together: three cyclohexane units and one cyclopentane. Allopregnane and Gonane are steroid stubs.

Isopregnanolone

Isopregnanolone, also known as isoallopregnanolone and epiallopregnanolone, as well as sepranolone, and as 3β-hydroxy-5α-pregnan-20-one or 3β,5α-tetrahydroprogesterone (3β,5α-THP), is an endogenous neurosteroid and a natural 3β-epimer of allopregnanolone.

Natural product

A natural product is a natural compound or substance produced by a living organism—that is, found in nature.

Parent structure

In chemistry, a parent structure is the structure of an unadorned ion or molecule from which derivatives can be visualized.

Pregnane

Pregnane, also known as 17β-ethylandrostane or as 10β,13β-dimethyl-17β-ethylgonane, is a C21 steroid and, indirectly, a parent of progesterone. Allopregnane and Pregnane are steroid stubs.

See Allopregnane and Pregnane

Steroid

A steroid is an organic compound with four fused rings (designated A, B, C, and D) arranged in a specific molecular configuration.

5α-Dihydroprogesterone

5α-Dihydroprogesterone (5α-DHP, allopregnanedione, or 5α-pregnane-3,20-dione) is an endogenous progestogen and neurosteroid that is synthesized from progesterone. Allopregnane and 5α-Dihydroprogesterone are 5α-Pregnanes.
