Overview: dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA for short), whose chemical name is 3-β- hydroxyandrosterone -5- ene -17- ketone, also known as dehydroepiandrosterone, is a kind of esterifiable 3-β- hydroxysteroid with cholesterol △ 5,6 double bond. Its molecular formula is C19H28O2 and its molecular weight is 288.4 Chemical. Optical rotation+5.5 is an adrenal hormone precursor secreted by the reticular layer of human adrenal cortex. It has physiological activities such as regulating obesity, preventing diabetes, resisting cancer and virus infection, improving memory, immune response and stress response, and relieving tension. It is an intermediate for manufacturing steroid hormones and participates in the synthesis of various hormones secreted by adrenal gland.

Uses: used as the main raw material for the production of steroid hormone drugs and contraceptives.
