1）Product description
It is a steroid hormone with weak androgenic activity. It is a natural metabolite of dehydroepiandros-terone via the 5α-reductase enzyme. It was first isolated in 1931, by Adolf Friedrich Johann Butenandt and Kurt Tscherning. They distilled over 17,000 litres of male urine, from which they got 50 milligrams of crystalline (most likely mixed isomers), which was sufficient to find that the chemical formula was very similar to estrone.
Dehydroepiandros-terone/dehydroepiandros-tenedione (more correctly didehydroepiandros-terone), also known as androste-nolone or rone (INN), as well as 3β-hydroxyandrost-5-en-17-one or 5-androsten-3β-ol-17-one, is an important endogenous steroid hormone.It is the most abundant circulating steroid hormone in humans,in whom it is produced in the adrenal glands,the gonads, and the brain,where it functions predominantly as a metabolic intermediate in the biosynthesis of the androgen and estrogen sex steroids.However, also has a variety of potential biological effects in its own right, binding to an array of nuclear and cell surface receptors,and acting as a neurosteroid.

2) Function & Application
1.Pharmaceutical material and intermediates, hormone.
2.Anabolic effects include growth of muscle mass and strength, increased bone density and strength, and stimulation of linear growth and bone maturation.
3.Androgenic effects include maturation of the sex organs, particularly the penis and the formation of the scrotum in the fetus, and after birth (usually at puberty) a deepening of the voice, growth of the beard and axillary hair. Many of these fall into the category of male secondary sex characteristics.
