SKU: orb3211572

Description

16-Dehydropregnenolone acetate (16-DPA, Dehydropregnenolone acetate) is a sterol compound with oral activity that inhibits both 17α-hydroxylase and 5α-reductase. Additionally, 16-Dehydropregnenolone acetate acts as a potent antagonist of the bile acid receptor (BAR)/farnesoid X receptor (FXR). 16-DPA exhibits lipid-lowering and anticancer effects and is commonly used as an intermediate in drug synthesis for the preparation of dexamethasone and other related steroidal drug active carriers.
