(2beta,3beta,5beta)-2,3,14-Trihydroxyandrost-7-ene-6,17-dione - Introduction
Rubrosterone(Rubrosterone) is a kind of natural plant steroidal compounds, mainly found in red amaranth plants, such as Red Berry amaranth (Cissus quadrangularis) and red amaranth (Ammania baccifera) and other plants.
The chemical nature of Rubrosterone is a white crystalline solid with a strong bitter taste. It is a kind of oil soluble compound, insoluble in water. This compound is stable in air, but may decompose under high temperature or strong acid conditions.
Rubrosterone has hormone-like activity in vivo, especially plays an important role in the growth and development of insects. Because of its similar effects to insect hormones, Rubrosterone is widely used in agriculture as a natural hormone growth regulator. It can promote the growth and development of plants and improve the yield and quality of crops.
At present, the preparation method of Rubrosterone is mainly obtained by extracting from red amaranth plants. First, the red amaranth plants are collected, crushed and sieved, and then extracted with a suitable solvent such as ethanol or ethers. Thereafter, purification and separation are carried out from the extract by a method such as distillation or crystallization, and finally a crystalline solid of Rubrosterone is obtained.
There are no clear human toxicity studies regarding the safety of Rubrosterone. However, as an exogenous hormone, caution is required when using Rubrosterone. When used in agriculture, it should be used in the correct amount to avoid negative impact on the environment. In addition, for personal use of Rubrosterone, it is recommended to consult an agricultural expert or chemical expert for more detailed safety information before use.
