Description
Hydrocortisone 17-propionate 21-acetate is a corticosteroid ester with CAS number 74050-20-7 and empirical formula C₂₆H₃₆O₇. This biochemical reagent has a molar mass of 460,56 g/mol and is offered in a 5 mg pack size suited to analytical and research-scale work. It is used in steroid chemistry, endocrinology studies and related biochemical investigations where a defined hydrocortisone derivative is required for method development, reference comparisons or pathway research. The compound is available from manufacturer Carl ROTH within their biochemicals portfolio, supporting laboratories that need small, well-specified quantities for controlled experiments. Its molecular identity and documented physical data facilitate integration into organic synthesis workflows, metabolite profiling and pharmaceutical research protocols. Packaged for economical handling in specialised assays, hydrocortisone 17-propionate 21-acetate provides a practical option for groups working on corticosteroid analogues, structure–activity relationships or analytical calibration. The 5 mg unit quantity allows precise dosing while limiting excess material in the laboratory inventory.

Questions about Hydrocortisone 17-propionate 21-acetate
What is this article?
Hydrocortisone 17-propionate 21-acetate is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Lipids, steroids & fatty acids, inside Biochemicals & reagents, in Microbiology lab supplies.
A lipid, a steroid or a fatty acid is specified by chain length, saturation and purity. Esters and free acids are different compounds. Many are supplied in a small amount under inert gas because they oxidise. The physical form, oil or powder, follows from the structure.
A biochemical is a molecule of life, sold as a reagent: an amino acid, a sugar, a nucleotide, a lipid, an enzyme, an antibiotic. The difference from a bulk chemical is that the use is a biological one, and the impurities that matter are the ones that change that use. An enzyme is specified by activity, not only by mass. An antibiotic is specified by potency. Papers are on PubMed. Structures are on PubChem. Strains and lines that consume these reagents are at ATCC.
