Findings from Aligarh Muslim University Broaden Understanding of Testosterone Congeners [Synthesis and Pharmacological Properties of Modified A- and D-ring In Dehydroepiandrosterone (Dhea): a Review].

A recent report from Aligarh Muslim University in Uttar Pradesh, India, discusses the synthesis and pharmacological properties of modified A- and D-ring Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). DHEA is a naturally occurring steroid hormone that serves as a precursor for sex hormones. The research highlights the decline in DHEA levels with age and its link to hormone-deficiency symptoms. The review covers the synthetic routes and biological studies of modified A- and D-ring DHEA from 2015 to mid-2022. [Extracted from the article]
