11-Deoxycorticosterone (CAS 516-70-7) is a mineralocorticoid steroid hormone with the molecular formula C21H30O3. It serves as a critical precursor in corticosteroid synthesis, produced industrially via enzymatic hydroxylation of progesterone or semi-synthesis from diosgenin.
Strictly regulated for clinical use due to potent salt-retaining effects. Store under inert atmosphere at -20°C. Handle with appropriate PPE to prevent inhalation or skin contact during industrial processing.
