| Deoxycorticosterone acetate Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | Off-White Solid | | Uses | Adrenocortical/mineralocorticoid Steroid. | | Uses | Deoxycorticosterone acetate has been used to induce hypertensive pregnancy. It has also been used to investigate the effect of low epicatechin dosing on the cardiovascular function of deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt hypertensive rats. | | Brand name | Doca (Organon); Percorten (Novartis) [Name previously used: Deoxycortone.]. | | General Description | Deoxycorticosterone acetate is an endogenous neurosteroid found in brain and peripheral circulation, which is produced by progesterone. It is both a mineralocorticoid and a glucocorticoid. It is used to treat adrenocortical insufficiency or Addison′s disease. Deoxycorticosterone acetate improves insulin sensitivity. It acts as a precursor to glucocorticoid corticosterone and the GABAergic neuroactive steroid (3α,5α)-3,21-dihydroxypregnan-20-one. | | Purification Methods | 11-Deoxycorticosterone acetate recrystallises from EtOH as needles or Me2CO/hexane, and sublimes at high vacuum. It is partly soluble in MeOH, Me2CO, Et2O and dioxane but insoluble in H2O. [Reichstein & Euw Helv Chim Acta 23 136 1940, Romo et al.
