Chemical Information
NameCortexolone
DescriptionCortexolone is the precursor of cortisol. Accumulation of Cortexolone can happen in a defect known as congenital adrenal hyperplasia, which is due to 11-beta-hydroxylase deficiency, resulting in androgen excess, virilization, and hypertension. (PMID: 2022736) A 17-hydroxycorticosteroid with glucocorticoid and anti-inflammatory activities. (PubChem) [HMDB]
