16-Dehydroprogesterone, also known as delta.16-progesterone, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 20-oxosteroids. These are steroid derivatives carrying a C=O group at the 20-position of the steroid skeleton. Thus, 16-dehydroprogesterone is considered to be a steroid lipid molecule. 16-Dehydroprogesterone is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral.
