Pregnane, also known as 17β-ethylandrostane or as 10β,13β-dimethyl-17β-ethylgonane, is a C21 steroid and, indirectly, a parent of progesterone. It is a parent hydrocarbon for two series of steroids stemming from 5α-pregnane (originally allopregnane) and 5β-pregnane (17β-ethyletiocholane). It has a gonane core.


5β-Pregnane is the parent of pregnanediones, pregnanolones, and pregnanediols, and is found largely in urine as a metabolic product of 5β-pregnane compounds.

Pregnanes





Steroid nomenclature: Pregnanes have carbons 1 through 21.


Pregnanes are steroid derivatives with carbons present at positions 1 through 21.


Most biologically significant pregnane derivatives fall into one of two groups: pregnenes and pregnadienes. Another class is pregnatrienes.



Pregnenes






Cortisone


Pregnenes have a double bond. Examples include:



  • Cortisone

  • Hydrocortisone

  • Progesterone



Pregnadienes
