Entry term(s) esteroide
Scope note: Grupo de compuestos policíclicos estrechamente relacionados con los TERPENOS desde el punto de vista bioquímico. Este grupo incluye el colesterol, numerosas hormonas, precursores de ciertas vitaminas, ácidos biliares, alcoholes (ESTEROLES), así como ciertos venenos y drogas naturales. Los esteroides tienen un núcleo común, un sistema cíclico de 17 átomos de carbono reducido y fusionado, el ciclopentanoperhidrofenantreno. La mayoría de los esteroides también tienen dos grupos metilo y una cadena alifática lateral unida al núcleo. (Hawley's Condensed Chemical Dictionary, 11th ed)

Scope note: A group of polycyclic compounds closely related biochemically to TERPENES. They include cholesterol, numerous hormones, precursors of certain vitamins, bile acids, alcohols (STEROLS), and certain natural drugs and poisons. Steroids have a common nucleus, a fused, reduced 17-carbon atom ring system, cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene. Most steroids also have two methyl groups and an aliphatic side-chain attached to the nucleus. (From Hawley's Condensed Chemical Dictionary, 11th ed)
