95975-55-6 Usage
Uses
Guggulsterone is a broad spectrum steroid receptor ligand. Gum resin of Commiphora mukul marketed as an antihyperlipidemic drug.
Biological Activity
Broad spectrum steroid receptor ligand; binds with high affinity to mineralocorticoid receptors (K i = 39 nM) and lower affinity to progesterone, androgen and glucocorticoid receptors (K i values are 201, 240 and 224 nM respectively). Functions primarily as an antagonist of these receptors, with the exception of the progesterone receptor where it displays partial agonist effects. Also exerts hypolipidemic activity, likely via antagonism of the receptor for bile acids (farnesoid X receptor; FXR).
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 95975-55-6 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 9,5,9,7 and 5 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 5 and 5 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 95975-55:
(7*9)+(6*5)+(5*9)+(4*7)+(3*5)+(2*5)+(1*5)=196
196 % 10 = 6
So 95975-55-6 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

Process for the synthesis of pharmacologically active (z/e)-guggulsterones
-
Page/Page column 2, (2008/06/13)
The invention relates to an improved process for producing pharmacologically active synthetic stereoisomeric mixture of guggulsterones (4) in the three steps. The mixture of gugguisterones consists of Z-guggulsterone [4,17(20)-trans-pregnadiene-3,16-dione] and E-guggulsterone [4,17(20)-cis-pregnadiene-3,16-dione] and could be in any relative ratio. This improved process comprises (a) epoxidation of 16-dehydropregnanolone acetate (1) with hydrogen peroxide (b) reduction of the so obtained epoxide (2) with hydrazine hydrate and (c) oxidation of the diol (3).
