Comparison of chemical structures for allopregnane, allopregnanolone and 5α-Pregnane-3α,17α-diol-20-one (17α-allopregnanolone). Please note that the difference between the allopregnanolone and 5α-Pregnane-3α,17α-diol-20-one is a hydroxyl function group (−OH) at C17 position.

Structure of cholestane, a steroid with 27 carbon atoms. Its core ring system (ABCD), composed of 17 carbon atoms, is shown with IUPAC-approved ring lettering and atom numbering.

5α-Pregnane-3α,17α-diol-20-one, also known as 17α-hydroxyallopregnanolone (17-OH-allo) is an endogenous steroid.

5α-Pregnane-3α,17α-diol-20-one is a metabolite, an intermediate product within the androgen backdoor pathway in which 17α-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) is 5α-reduced and finally converted to 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) without testosterone as a metabolic intermediate.

The pathway can be outlined as 17-OHP → 5α-pregnan-17α-ol-3,20-dione → 5α-pregnane-3α,17α-diol-20-one → androsterone → 5α-androstane-3α,17β-diol → DHT.

5α-Pregnane-3α,17α-diol-20-one is produced from 5α-pregnan-17α-ol-3,20-dione in a reaction catalyzed by a reductive 3α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3α-HSD), i.e. by the two aldo-keto reductase isozymes: AKR1C2 and AKR1C4, and by 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 6 (HSD17B6) that also has the 3α-HSD activity.
