Pregnane is, indirectly, a parent[clarification needed] of progesterone. It is a parent hydrocarbon for two series of steroids stemming from 5α-pregnane (originally allopregnane) and 5β-pregnane (17β-ethyletiocholane).

5β-Pregnane is the parent of the progesterones, pregnane alcohols, ketones, and several adrenocortical hormones and is found largely in urine as a metabolic product of 5β-pregnane compounds.

Pregnanes

Steroid nomenclature: Pregnanes have carbons 1 through 21.

Pregnanes are steroid derivatives with carbons present at positions 1 through 21.

Most biologically significant pregnane derivatives fall into one of two groups: pregnenes and pregnadienes. Another class is pregnatrienes.

Pregnenes

Pregnenes have a double bond. Examples include:

Pregnadienes

Cyproterone acetate

Pregnadienes have two double bonds. Examples include:
