Product Description
19-Hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione is a substrate of adrenocorticotropic hormone-lipotropin and cytochrome P450 19A1.
19-Hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione is a steroid metabolite and a 19-hydroxy steroid. It has a molecular formula of C19H26O3 and a molecular weight of 302.41. It is an endogenous steroid involved in the biosynthesis of estrogens. Specifically, it is an intermediate in the conversion of androstenedione to estrone by the enzyme aromatase. It plays a role as a mouse metabolite.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Human Endogenous Metabolite
19-Hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione targets the enzyme aromatase (CYP19A1). It is a natural substrate and intermediate in the aromatization process, where the C19 methyl group is hydroxylated as the first step in the conversion of androgens to estrogens. As an endogenous metabolite, it does not have a specific receptor target but is a key molecule in steroidogenesis.
ln Vitro
- 19-Hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione is an androgen derivative that participates in estrogen biosynthesis, as indicated by the study’s focus on its kinetic role in this metabolic pathway. It is classified under the MeSH terms "Androgens" and "Androstenedione" derivatives, suggesting it acts as an intermediate or regulatory molecule in the conversion of androgens to estrogens [1]
- The study (published in Steroids 1965) primarily conducts kinetic analyses to investigate how 19-Hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione contributes to estrogen biosynthesis, though specific details of its mechanism (e.g., interaction with key enzymes like aromatase) are not available in the provided literature metadata [1]

In vitro, 19-Hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione is used as a substrate to study the activity of the aromatase enzyme. Its conversion to estrone is measured in assays using microsomal preparations or recombinant CYP19A1. It is also used as a reference standard in analytical chemistry for the identification and quantification of steroid metabolites. It is not typically used for cell-based functional assays.
ln Vivo
In vivo, 19-Hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione is an endogenous intermediate in estrogen biosynthesis. It is produced in the adrenal glands and gonads. Its levels can be altered in certain pathological conditions, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and some forms of congenital adrenal hyperplasia. It is not used as a therapeutic agent.
Enzyme Assay
For non-cell-based assays, 19-Hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione can be used as a substrate in enzyme activity assays for aromatase. The compound is incubated with the enzyme (e.g., human placental microsomes or recombinant CYP19A1) and cofactors, and the production of estrone is measured by HPLC or mass spectrometry. It is also used as an analytical standard for the quantification of steroids in biological matrices.
Cell Assay
For in vitro cellular assays, 19-Hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione is not typically used for cell-based functional assays. It may be used in studies of steroidogenesis, where cells (e.g., adrenocortical cells or placental cells) are treated with the compound and its conversion to estrogens is measured. However, its primary use is as an analytical standard and a substrate for enzyme studies.
Animal Protocol
For in vivo animal studies, 19-Hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione is not typically administered for therapeutic or pharmacological studies. It may be used in metabolic studies to trace steroidogenesis pathways. However, its primary use is as a reference standard and a tool for studying aromatase activity in vitro.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
19-Hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione has a molecular weight of 302.41 and a molecular formula of C19H26O3. It is a steroid. The compound is typically stored at -20°C for long-term stability. It is supplied with a purity of ≥97%. It is for research use only and is not intended for human consumption.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of 19-Hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione has not been extensively reported. As an endogenous steroid, its toxicity is not a primary concern at physiological levels. The compound is for research use only and is not intended for human consumption. Standard safety precautions should be observed when handling the compound.

  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
