Chemical Information
FooDB Name(3alpha,5alpha)-Androst-16-en-3-ol
DescriptionAroma substance from the Perigord truffle tuber Androstenol is a steroidal compound belonging to the group of odorous 16-androstenes, first isolated from boar testes and also found in humans. Androstenol has pheromone-like properties in both animals and humans, but the molecular targets of its pheromonal activity are unknown. Androstenol as a pheromone is well suited because of high volatility and lipophilicity. (PMID: 1419890, 8142319, 16415088); ; 3a-Hydroxyandrost-16-ene is a steroidal compound belonging to the group of odorous 16-androstenes, first isolated from boar testes and also found in humans. 3a-Hydroxyandrost-16-ene has pheromone-like properties in both animals and humans, but the molecular targets of its pheromonal activity are unknown. 3a-Hydroxyandrost-16-ene is structurally similar to endogenous A-ring reduced neurosteroids that act as positive modulators of GABAA receptors. 3a-Hydroxyandrost-16-ene has neurosteroid-like activity as a GABAA receptor modulator. The various actions of 3a-Hydroxyandrost-16-ene in the whole-animal models are consistent with its activity as a GABAA receptor modulator. GABAA receptors could represent a target for 3a-Hydroxyandrost-16-ene as a pheromone, for which it is well suited because of high volatility and lipophilicity, or as a conventional hormonal neurosteroid.
