Metabolite Identification
Common Name20a-Dihydroprogesterone
Description20a-Dihydroprogesterone, also known as 20b-hydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one or 20-alpha-progerol, 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, 20a-dihydroprogesterone is considered to be a steroid lipid molecule. 20a-Dihydroprogesterone is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral.
