Metabolite Identification
Common NameEpipregnanolone
DescriptionEpipregnanolone belongs to the class of organic compounds known as gluco/mineralocorticoids, progestogins and derivatives. These are steroids with a structure based on a hydroxylated prostane moiety. Thus, epipregnanolone is considered to be a steroid. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Epipregnanolone.
