- | '''Androsterone''' Pubchem(5879) (ADT) is a [[steroid hormone]] with weak [[androgenic]] activity. It is made in the [[liver]] from the [[metabolism]] of [[testosterone]]. It was first isolated in 1931, by [[Adolf Friedrich Johann Butenandt]] and [[Kurt Tscherning]]. They distilled over 17000 litres of male urine, from which they got 50 milligrams of crystalline androsterone, which was sufficient to find that the chemical formula was very similar to [[estrone]].

| | | |
- | [[Celery]] is claimed to contain androsterone however this is a mistake. Celery actually contains [[androstenone]], which has a different structure to Androsterone and is otherwise unrelated. Androsterone is often advertised as influencing human behavior, but there is little data to substantiate its use as a [[pheromone]]. Androsterone has been shown to naturally occur in [[pine]] [[pollen]] and is well known in many [[animal]] [[species]]. (2)
| |
| | | |
- | Androsterone and its 3b [[isomer]] (epiandrosterone) are naturally produced by the enzyme 5aReductase from the adrenal hormone DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone). Androsterone can also be converted from the natural steroids 5aAndrostanediol via 17b-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase or from 5aAndrostanedione via 3a-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase.

| + | ==Description== |
| + | A metabolite of TESTOSTERONE or ANDROSTENEDIONE with a 3-alpha-hydroxyl group and without the double bond. The 3-beta hydroxyl isomer is epiandrosterone. |
| + | ==General Properties== |
| | | |
- | Androsterone provides the basic skeleton describing an androgen with a 3 a/b hydroxyl group and a 17 position ketone. Descriptive modifiers can be added like "epi" to signify a 3b hydroxyl and "#-ene" to signify the double bond placement. This basic structure can be modified in mammals by dehydrogenating it via many enzymes to create DHEA compounds that include 1-ene, 4-ene, 5-ene isomers. These isomers have been shown to be naturally occurring in mammals along with several unique structures including 4-Hydroxy-4-Dehydroepiandrosterone and 6-Keto-4-Dehydroepiandrosterone. Synthetically the combinations of dehydrogenated variants are vast and can include many unique structures.
