Product Description
6ß-Hydroxytestosterone is the main urinary metabolite of testosterone, which is an androgen steroid hormone. Testosterone is an important sex hormone and anabolic steroid used as a performance-enhancing drug. This product is suitable as the starting material in calibrators or reference materials for various LC / MS or GC / MS applications ranging from clinical and diagnostic testing to endocrine and exercise testing. Application Investigating enzyme inhibition with 6β-Hydroxytestosterone: The study on liver microsomal bioreactors for rapid drug metabolism and inhibition assays employed 6β-Hydroxytestosterone to understand its effects on CYP450 enzyme activities, highlighting its utility in pharmacokinetic studies and enzyme behavior under varying physiological conditions.6β-Hydroxytestosterone as a biochemical assay reagent: A sensitive and specific LC-MS/MS cocktail assay developed for CYP450 enzymes employed 6β-Hydroxytestosterone as a reference compound, demonstrating its applicability in biochemical assays and its role in enhancing the detection of enzymatic activity and metabolic pathways.
This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as androgens and derivatives. These are 3-hydroxylated C19 steroid hormones. They are known to favor the development of masculine characteristics. They also show profound effects on scalp and body hair in humans.
