| Bioactivity | Adrenosterone ((+)-Adrenosterone) is a competitive hydroxysteroid (11-beta) dehydrogenase 1 (HSD11β1) inhibitor.Adrenosterone is a steroid hormone with weak androgenic effect. Adrenosterone is a dietary supplement that can decrease fat and increase muscle mass. Adrenosterone acts as a suppressor of metastatic progression of human cancer cells[1][2][3]. | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | Adrenosterone markedly decreases Snail and Slug expression in HCCLM3 and MDA-MB-231 cells. Adrenosterone suppresses cell motility and invasion of highly metastatic human cancer cells (HCCLM3, MDA-MB-231, and MDA-MB-435 cells)[1]. Adrenosterone is a competitive inhibitor of HSD11β1, which catalyzes the interconversion of the steroid pair of the inactive metabolite cortisone and the stress hormone cortisol. Adrenosterone decreases the amount of cortisol[1]. | ||||||||||||
