| Bioactivity | 5β-Dihydrocortisol, a metabolite of Cortisol, is a potential mineralocorticoid. 5β-Dihydrocortisol can potentiate glucocorticoid activity in raising the intraocular pressure. 5β-Dihydrocortisol causes breast cancer cell apoptosis[1][2][3][4][5]. | |||||||||
| Invitro | 5β-Dihydrocortisol (10-100 μM; 48 h) inhibits the viability of MCF-7 cells, with an IC50 of 27.59 μM[2].5β-Dihydrocortisol (14 μM; 24 h) induces 35.6% early apoptosis and 2.5% late apoptosis in MCF-7 cells[2].5β-Dihydrocortisol (1-10 μM; 48 h) quenches the intrinsic fluorescence of human serum albumin (HAS) with a maximum emission peak at 360 nm, with no shift in fluorescence peak[2].
