Dihydrodeoxycorticosterone

Index Dihydrodeoxycorticosterone

5α-Dihydrodeoxycorticosterone (abbreviated as DHDOC), also known as 21-hydroxy-5α-pregnan-20-one, is an endogenous progestogen and neurosteroid. [1]

Adrenocortical hormone

In humans and other animals, the adrenocortical hormones are hormones produced by the adrenal cortex, the outer region of the adrenal gland.

See Dihydrodeoxycorticosterone and Adrenocortical hormone

Agonist

An agonist is a chemical that activates a receptor to produce a biological response.

See Dihydrodeoxycorticosterone and Agonist

Allosteric modulator

In pharmacology and biochemistry, allosteric modulators are a group of substances that bind to a receptor to change that receptor's response to stimuli.

See Dihydrodeoxycorticosterone and Allosteric modulator

Anticonvulsant

Anticonvulsants (also known as antiepileptic drugs, antiseizure drugs, or anti-seizure medications (ASM)) are a diverse group of pharmacological agents used in the treatment of epileptic seizures.

Deoxycorticosterone

Deoxycorticosterone (DOC), or desoxycorticosterone, may refer to. Dihydrodeoxycorticosterone and Deoxycorticosterone are Pregnanes.

Endogeny (biology)

Endogenous substances and processes are those that originate from within a living system such as an organism, tissue, or cell.

See Dihydrodeoxycorticosterone and Endogeny (biology)

Enzyme

Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts by accelerating chemical reactions.

See Dihydrodeoxycorticosterone and Enzyme

GABAA receptor

The GABAA receptor (GABAAR) is an ionotropic receptor and ligand-gated ion channel.

See Dihydrodeoxycorticosterone and GABAA receptor

Hydroxydione

Hydroxydione, as hydroxydione sodium succinate (brand names Viadril, Predion, and Presuren), also known as 21-Hydroxy-5β-pregnane-3,20-dione, is a neuroactive steroid which was formerly used as a general anesthetic, but was discontinued due to incidence of thrombophlebitis in patients. Dihydrodeoxycorticosterone and hydroxydione are GABAA receptor positive allosteric modulators and neurosteroids.

See Dihydrodeoxycorticosterone and Hydroxydione

Neurosteroid

Neurosteroids, also known as neuroactive steroids, are endogenous or exogenous steroids that rapidly alter neuronal excitability through interaction with ligand-gated ion channels and other cell surface receptors. Dihydrodeoxycorticosterone and Neurosteroid are neurosteroids.

See Dihydrodeoxycorticosterone and Neurosteroid

Progesterone receptor

The progesterone receptor (PR), also known as NR3C3 or nuclear receptor subfamily 3, group C, member 3, is a protein found inside cells. Dihydrodeoxycorticosterone and progesterone receptor are progestogens.

See Dihydrodeoxycorticosterone and Progesterone receptor

Progestogen

Progestogens, also sometimes written progestins, progestagens or gestagens, are a class of natural or synthetic steroid hormones that bind to and activate the progesterone receptors (PR). Dihydrodeoxycorticosterone and Progestogen are progestogens.

See Dihydrodeoxycorticosterone and Progestogen

SRD5A1

3-Oxo-5α-steroid 4-dehydrogenase 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the SRD5A1 gene.

See Dihydrodeoxycorticosterone and SRD5A1

Tetrahydrodeoxycorticosterone

Tetrahydrodeoxycorticosterone (abbreviated as THDOC; 3α,21-dihydroxy-5α-pregnan-20-one), also referred to as allotetrahydrocorticosterone, is an endogenous neurosteroid. Dihydrodeoxycorticosterone and Tetrahydrodeoxycorticosterone are GABAA receptor positive allosteric modulators, neurosteroids and Pregnanes.

See Dihydrodeoxycorticosterone and Tetrahydrodeoxycorticosterone

5α-Dihydroprogesterone

5α-Dihydroprogesterone (5α-DHP, allopregnanedione, or 5α-pregnane-3,20-dione) is an endogenous progestogen and neurosteroid that is synthesized from progesterone. Dihydrodeoxycorticosterone and 5α-Dihydroprogesterone are GABAA receptor positive allosteric modulators, neurosteroids, Pregnanes and progestogens.
