Androstadienone – (4075-07-4)

Androstadienone, or androsta-4,16-dien-3-one, is an endogenous steroid belonging to the 16-androstene class.

Androstadienone is known for its pheromone-like activities in humans, particularly affecting the mood of heterosexual women and homosexual men. It is commonly used in male fragrances to enhance sexual attraction.

Studies suggest that androstadienone can reduce nervousness and tension in female subjects, although it does not overtly alter behavior. It is related to androgen sex hormones but lacks androgenic or anabolic effects.
