Description | (5beta)-pregnane-3,20-dione, also known as 3,20-pregnanedione or 5beta-dihydroprogesterone, belongs to gluco/mineralocorticoids, progestogins and derivatives class of compounds. Those are steroids with a structure based on a hydroxylated prostane moiety. Thus, (5beta)-pregnane-3,20-dione is considered to be a steroid lipid molecule (5beta)-pregnane-3,20-dione is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). (5beta)-pregnane-3,20-dione can be found in a number of food items such as opium poppy, walnut, rowal, and italian sweet red pepper, which makes (5beta)-pregnane-3,20-dione a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. |
