Description: 11Beta-hydroxyprogesterone (11beta-Hydroxyprogesterone) is an inhibitor of 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11betaHSD) type 2, which activates the human hydrocorticosteroid receptor in COS-7 cells, and may be useful in the study of metabolism-related diseases. Target: Dehydrogenase. Smiles: CC(=O)[C@H]1CC[C@H]2[C@@H]3CCC4=CC(=O)CC[C@]4(C)[C@H]3[C@@H](O)C[C@]12C.
