Overview
Bisnoralcohol (BA), chemically identified as 11β,19-dihydroxyandrost-5-en-17-one (CAS: 5420-86-0), is a key intermediate in corticosteroid synthesis. Produced via microbial transformation of progesterone derivatives using specific fungal strains, it serves as a critical precursor for high-potency anti-inflammatory agents.
Application
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing: Synthesis of prednisolone and hydrocortisone derivatives.
- Research & Development: Used as a standard reference material in metabolic pathway studies.
- Custom Chemical Services: Bulk supply for contract manufacturers producing active pharmaceutical ingredients.
Precautions
- Strictly for industrial use; not approved for direct human consumption or clinical injection.
- Store under inert atmosphere at controlled temperatures below 25°C to prevent degradation.
- Handle with appropriate PPE due to potential irritant properties.
