Epiandrosterone or 3β-androsterone also known as 3β-hydroxy-5α-androstan-17-one or 5α-androstan-3β-ol-17-one is a steroid hormone with weak androgenic activity. It is a natural metabolite of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) via the 5α-reductase enzyme. It was first isolated in 1931 by Adolf Friedrich Johann Butenandt and Kurt Tscherning.
