3β-Androstenol is a natural steroidal compound found in biological samples such as boar testicles and human sweat. It is an important pheromone-related metabolite in research on pheromones, physiological metabolism, and neuropharmacology. As an endogenous neurosteroid, 3β-Androstenol acts as a positive allosteric modulator of GABAA receptors and has demonstrated anxiolytic, antidepressant, and anticonvulsant activity in animal studies.

Product Introduction

Bioactivity
Description
3β-Androstenol is a natural steroidal compound found in biological samples such as boar testicles and human sweat. It is an important pheromone-related metabolite in research on pheromones, physiological metabolism, and neuropharmacology. As an endogenous neurosteroid, 3β-Androstenol acts as a positive allosteric modulator of GABAA receptors and has demonstrated anxiolytic, antidepressant, and anticonvulsant activity in animal studies.
In vitro
Method: Mouse cerebellar granule cell cultures were treated with 3β-Androstenol (1000 nM and 3000 nM) co-applied with 0.25 μM GABA, and changes in GABA-activated currents were detected using whole-cell patch-clamp recording.
Result: 3β-Androstenol at concentrations of 1000 nM and 3000 nM did not significantly enhance GABA-activated currents [1].
In vivo
Method: In a PTZ (pentylenetetrazole) seizure model in mice, 3β-Androstenol (100 mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally 15 min prior to PTZ injection, and protection against clonic seizures was observed over a 30-min period.
Result: 3β-Androstenol at a dose of 100 mg/kg failed to protect any animals from PTZ-induced seizures [1].

In Vivo Formulation Calculator (Clear solution)

Please enter your animal experiment information in the following box and click Calculate to obtain the stock solution preparation method and in vivo formula preparation method:
TargetMol | Animal experiments For example, if the intended dosage is 10 mg/kg for animals weighing 20 g , with a dosing volume of 100 μL per animal, TargetMol | Animal experiments and a total of 10 animals are to be administered, using a formulation of TargetMol | reagent 10% DMSO+ 40% PEG300+ 5% Tween 80+ 45% Saline/PBS/ddH2O , the resulting working solution concentration would be 2 mg/mL.
Stock Solution Preparation:

Dissolve 2 mg of the compound in 100 μL DMSOTargetMol | reagent to obtain a stock solution at a concentration of 20 mg/mL . If the required concentration exceeds the compound's known solubility, please contact us for technical support before proceeding.

Preparation of the In Vivo Formulation:

1) Add 100 μL of the DMSOTargetMol | reagent stock solution to 400 µL PEG300TargetMol | reagent and mix thoroughly until the solution becomes clear.

2) Add 50 µL Tween 80 and mix well until fully clarified.

3) Add 450 µL Saline,PBS or ddH2OTargetMol | reagent and mix thoroughly until a homogeneous solution is obtained.

This example is provided solely to demonstrate the use of the In Vivo Formulation Calculator and does not constitute a recommended formulation for any specific compound. Please select an appropriate dissolution and formulation strategy based on your experimental model and route of administration.
All co-solvents required for this protocol, includingDMSO, PEG300/PEG400, Tween 80, SBE-β-CD, and Corn oil, are available for purchase on the TargetMol website.
