Pregnenolone Uses

 Pregnenolone (CAS NO.145-13-1) is used for biochemical research. It is also used as steroid pharmaceutical intermediates and synthesis of steroid drugs.

Pregnenolone Production

 Pregnenolone is made by cholesterol. This conversion involves hydroxylation at the side-chain at C20 and C22 positions, with cleavage of the side-chain. The enzyme performing this task is cytochrome P450scc, located in the mitochondria, and controlled by pituitary tropic hormones, such as ACTH, FSH, LH.
