11-Deoxycortisol, also known as cortodoxone (INN, USAN, BAN), as well as 17α-hydroxy-11-deoxycorticosterone, 17α,21-dihydroxyprogesterone, and cortexolone,[1] is a glucocorticoid steroid hormone. It was first synthesized by Tadeusz Reichstein, and has also been referred to as Reichstein's Substance.[1]
Cortodoxone functions as a glucocorticoid, though is less potent than cortisol. It can be synthesized from 17α-hydroxyprogesterone. In 11β-hydroxylase deficiency, cortodoxone levels increase dramatically, causing hypertension (as opposed to 21α-hydroxylase deficiency, in which patients have low blood pressure from a lack of mineralocorticoids).
Cortodoxone can also be converted to androstenedione.[2] This could explain, at least in part, the marked increase in androstenedione levels in 11β-hydroxylase deficiency.[2]
