| Bioactivity | Androsta-1,4,6-triene-3,17-dione is a lipophilic and specific aromatase inhibitor with a Ki of 0.18 μM. Androsta-1,4,6-triene-3,17-dione inhibits estrogen biosynthesis and shows antifertility effects. Androsta-1,4,6-triene-3,17-dione induces impairment of spatial memory[1][2]. |
| In Vivo | Androsta-1,4,6-triene-3,17-dione (25-100 mg/kg; s.c.) prevents the normal rise in ovarian estradiol concentrations[2].Androsta-1,4,6-triene-3,17-dione may act in vivo to inhibit fertility by inhibition of estrogen biosynthesis [1]. Animal Model: |
