Androst-16-en-3-ol is a pheromone derived from boars that triggers mating responses in estrous sows. It also exists in human urine, plasma, saliva and sweat. As an endogenous neurosteroid, Androst-16-en-3-ol acts as a positive allosteric modulator of GABAA receptors (GABAA receptor) and exerts anxiolytic, antidepressant and anticonvulsant activities in mice.

Description

Androst-16-en-3-ol is a pheromone derived from boars that triggers mating responses in estrous sows. It also exists in human urine, plasma, saliva and sweat. As an endogenous neurosteroid, Androst-16-en-3-ol acts as a positive allosteric modulator of GABAA receptors (GABAA receptor) and exerts anxiolytic, antidepressant and anticonvulsant activities in mice.
In Vitro

Androstenol (15-20 s preapplication and coapplication with GABA) positively modulates GABAA receptors in mouse cerebellar slices with an EC50 of 1.4 μM, enhancing GABA-activated currents in a concentration-dependent manner[1].
Androstenol (0.1-300 μM) potentiates GABAA receptors in HEK 293 cells transfected with α1β2γ2 or α2β2γ2 subunits at 0.1-1 μM and directly activates these receptors at 10-300 μM[1].
Androstenol prolongs the duration of spontaneous inhibitory postsynaptic currents in mouse cultured cerebellar granule cells[1].

Animal Model: NIH Swiss (male, 25-30 g)[1]
Dosage: 10, 30, 50, 100 mg/kg
Administration: i.p.; single dose immediately before testing
Result: Significantly increased the area-under-the-curve for percent time spent in the center of the arena at 30 and 50 mg/kg.
Reduced horizontal activity at 100 mg/kg, making center time values unmeaningful.
Animal Model: NIH Swiss (male, 25-30 g)[1]
Dosage: 10, 30, 50 mg/kg
Administration: i.p.; single dose 15 minutes before testing
Result: Caused a dose-dependent reduction in latency to first open arm entry, increase in number of open arm entries, and increase in percent time spent in open arms; observed significant effects at doses of 10-50 mg/kg depending on the measure.
Animal Model: NIH Swiss (male, 25-30 g)[1]
Dosage: 5, 10, 30 mg/kg
Administration: i.p.; single dose 15 minutes before testing

Animal Model: NIH Swiss (male, 25-30 g)[1]
Dosage: 10, 30, 100 mg/kg
Administration: i.p.; single dose 15 minutes before seizure induction
Result: Conferred dose-dependent protection against seizures in both pentylenetetrazol and 6 Hz electroshock models; reached ED50 values of 21.9 mg/kg (6 Hz model) and 48.9 mg/kg (pentylenetetrazol model).
Animal Model: NIH Swiss (male, 25-30 g)[1]
Dosage: 100, 200, 300 mg/kg
Administration: i.p.; single dose 15 minutes before testing
Result: Caused no impairment at 100 mg/kg; impaired 4/6 mice at 200 mg/kg and 5/6 at 300 mg/kg; reached a TD50 value of 181 mg/kg.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
