Androstenediol,or5-androstenediol(abbreviated asA5orΔ5-diol), also known asandrost-5-ene-3β,17β-diol,is anendogenousweakandrogenandestrogensteroid hormoneandintermediatein thebiosynthesisoftestosteronefromdehydroepiandrosterone(DHEA). It is closely related toandrostenedione(androst-4-ene-3,17-dione).
Biological activity
[edit]Androstenediol is a directmetaboliteof the most abundantsteroidproduced by the humanadrenal cortex,DHEA. It is lessandrogenicthan the related compound,Δ4-androstenediol,and has been found to stimulate theimmune system.When administered torats,androstenediol,in vivo,has approximately 1.4% of theandrogenicityof DHEA, 0.54% of the androgenicity ofandrostenedione,and 0.21% of the androgenicity of testosterone.[1]
Androstenediol possesses potentestrogenicactivity, similarly to DHEA and3β-androstanediol.[2]It has approximately 6% and 17% of theaffinityof estradiol at theERαandERβ,respectively.[3]Although androstenediol has far lower affinity for the ERs compared to the major estrogenestradiol,it circulates at approximately 100-fold higher concentrations, and so is thought may play a significant role as an estrogen in the body.[4]

Chemistry
[edit]Androstenediol, also known as androst-5-ene-3β,17β-diol, is anaturally occurringandrostanesteroid.[5]It is closely related structurally toandrostenedione(A4; androst-4-ene-3,17-dione),dehydroepiandrosterone(DHEA; androst-5-en-3β-ol-17-one), andtestosterone(androst-4-en-17β-ol-3-one), as well as to3β-androstanediol(5α-androstane-3β,17β-diol).[5]
Derivativesandanaloguesof androstenediol, such as the17α-substitutedmethandriol(17α-methylandrostenediol) andethinylandrostenediol(17α-ethynylandrostenediol) as well as the naturally occurring19-norandrostanederivativenorandostenediol(19-nor-5-androstenediol), have beensynthesizedand studied. Methandriol and itsestersareandrogensandanabolic steroidswhile ethinylandrostenediol is an estrogen.
Research
[edit]Radiation countermeasure
[edit]Androstenediol has been investigated for use as a radiation countermeasure. Its value as a radiation countermeasure is based mainly on its stimulation of production ofwhite blood cellsandplatelets.[6]Its potential use as aradiationcountermeasure was developed by theArmed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute(AFRRI) and subsequently studied by AFRRI and Hollis-Eden Pharmaceuticals under the proposed brand name Neumune for the treatment ofacute radiation syndrome.[6][7]
Theclinical trialswithrhesus monkeyswere successful. According to the Hollis-Eden report, only 12.5% of the 40 Neumune-treated animals died versus 32.5% in theplacebogroup.[8]
Hollis-Eden had applied for a contract from the U.S. Government under the BioShield Request for Proposals (RFP) for radiation countermeasures. After being encouraged for 2.5 years that Neumune was in the competitive range, on March 9, 2007, the RFP was canceled byHHS.According to HHS, "the product was no longer in the competitive range".[9][10]No further explanation was given. As a result, Hollis-Eden has now withdrawn from the radiation countermeasure field.
