11-Ketoandrosterone is an androgen.[3] Androgens are sex hormones that stimulate or control the development and maintenance of male characteristics in vertebrates by binding to androgen receptors. However, the potency of 11-ketoandrosterone as an agonist of androgen receptors was not known as of 2020[update].
11-Ketoandrosterone is a 11-keto form and a metabolite of androsterone.[4]
11-Ketoandrosterone belongs to a group of 11-oxyandrogens, i.e. 11-oxygenated (oxygen atom on C11 position forms a ketone group) 19-carbon steroids. 11-oxyandrogens are potent and clinically relevant agonists of the androgen receptors.[5] Potency of 11-ketotestosterone, an 11-oxyandrogen, is similar to that of testosterone.[6] 11-ketotestosterone, derived from 11β-hydroxyandrostenedione, may serve as the main androgen for healthy women.[7]
11-Ketoandrosterone is a metabolite that may be biosynthesized within the androgen backdoor pathway,[4] a metabolic pathway for androgen synthesis that bypasses testosterone as an intermediate product.[8][1][2]
SRD5A2 catalyzes the 5α-reduction of 11-ketotestosterone that terminates at 11-ketoandrosterone, but only causes a small amount of 11-ketotestosterone inactivation. However, since the metabolism of the glucocorticoid cortisol also produces 11-ketocholosterone, 11-ketoandrosterone may be considered as a more specific urinary marker for the production of 11-ketotestosterone.[7]
