Metabolite Identification
Common NamePregnenolone sulfate
DescriptionPregnenolone sulfate is a sulfated version of the steroid hormone known as pregnenolone. Pregnenolone sulfate belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sulfated steroids. These are sterol lipids containing a sulfate group attached to the steroid skeleton. Pregnenolone sulfate is a neurosteroid found in the brain and central nervous system. Pregnenolone sulfate is a metabolite synthesized from pregnenolone via sulfation. It is known to have cognitive and memory-enhancing, antidepressant, anxiogenic, and proconvulsant effects (PMID: 21094889 ). As a neurosteroid, pregnenolone sulfate modulates a variety of ion channels, transporters, and enzymes. Interestingly, as a sulfated steroid, pregnenolone sulfate is not the final- or waste-product of pregnenolone being sulfated via a phase II metabolism reaction and renally excreted, as one would presume from pharmacology textbook knowledge. Pregnenolone sulfate is also the source and thereby the starting point for subsequent steroid synthesis pathways. Recently, pregnenolone sulfate has been shown to not only be a modulator of ion channels, but it is also an activating ion channel ligand (PMID: 24084011 ).
