5α-Pregnan-17α-ol-3,20-dione, also known as 17α-hydroxy-dihydroprogesterone (17‐OH-DHP) is an endogenous steroid, a metabolite of 17α-hydroxyprogesterone.

Function

The androgen backdoor pathway (red arrows) roundabout testosterone embedded in within conventional androgen synthesis that lead to 5α-dihydrotestosterone through testosterone.[7][8][9]

5α-Pregnan-17α-ol-3,20-dione (17‐OH-DHP) is a progestogen, i.e., it binds to the progesterone receptors. However, 17‐OH-DHP is better studied as a metabolic intermediate than a progestogen per se.

17‐OH-DHP is the first intermediate product within the androgen backdoor pathway[7] in which 17α-hydroxyprogesterone (17‐OHP) is 5α-reduced and finally converted to 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) without testosterone intermediate. The subsequent intermediate products in the pathway are 5α-pregnane-3α,17α-diol-20-one, androsterone and 5α-androstane-3α,17β-diol.[9][10] The primary feature of the androgen backdoor pathway is that 17α-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) can be 5α-reduced and finally converted to 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) via an alternative route that bypasses the conventional[11] intermediates androstenedione and testosterone.[12][13]

Biosynthesis

5α-Pregnan-17α-ol-3,20-dione is produced by 5α-reduction of 17-OHP. The reaction is catalyzed by SRD5A1[14] and possibly, SRD5A2 enzymes.[7] While the role of the SRD5A1 enzyme in this reaction is well established, it is unclear whether SRD5A2 is also involved.[13] Some authors[4][14] claim that the reduction of 17-OHP to 17OHDHP by SRD5A1 is not "sufficient" or "efficient", as supported by measurements of rat SRD5A2 activity in a 1971 study.[15] In a later study, conducted in 2017, however, it has been shown that recombinant human SRD5A1 and SRD5A2 can catalyze the reduction of 17-OHP at comparable rates to the reduction of progesterone.[16] Given both isozymes may be expressed in fetal tissues of both sexes,[17][18] the action of SRD5A2 in this reaction in humans is yet to be established.[7]
