چکیده
dl-2-(7,11-Dimethyl-3,7,11 - trans,trans-dodecatrienyl)-3-methyl-cyclopent-2-enol was prepared by reduction of the corresponding ketone. This tetraenol, on treatment with trifluoroacetic acid, underwent stereoselective cyclization to give dl-3,17-dimethyl-A-nor-D-homoestra-3,16-diene. This tetracyclic material was readily converted, by oxidative cleavage to the bicyclic triketo aldehyde followed by a double aldol cyclization, into dl-19-nor-16,17-dehydroprogesterone.

Epoxidation Activities of Human Cytochromes P450c17 and P450c21
Some cytochrome P450 enzymes epoxidize unsaturated substrates, but this activity has not been described for the steroid hydroxylases. Physiologic steroid substrates, however, lack carbon-carbon double bonds in the parts of the pregnane molecules where steroidogenic hydroxylations occur. Limited data on the reactivity of steroidogenic P450s toward olefinic substrates exist, and the study of occu...
متن کامل19-Nor-deoxycorticosterone production from aldosterone-producing adenomas.
19-Nor-deoxycorticosterone (19-nor-DOC), a hypertensinogenic mineralocorticoid, equipotent with aldosterone and independent of the renin-angiotensin system, is synthesized in the kidney and excreted in excess in the urine of patients with aldosterone-producing adenomas. This current study evaluated the adrenal and renal venous levels of aldosterone and 19-nor-DOC after adrenal and renal venous ...
متن کاملStimulation of 16-dehydroprogesterone and progesterone reductases of Eubacterium sp. strain 144 by hemin and hydrogen or pyruvate.
Suspensions of Eubacterium sp. strain 144, prepared from cells grown with 16-dehydroprogesterone, catalyzed the reduction of this steroid to 17-isoprogesterone at a very low rate. Modifications of the assay to optimize the pH (5.5) and increase the steroid solubility (10% [vol/vol] methanol) did not significantly enhance the reaction. However, growth of strain 144 in the presence of hemin was f...
متن کاملInhibition of low density lipoprotein synthesis by dietary omega-3 fatty acids in humans.
Diets rich in omega-3 fatty acids derived from fish oils lower the plasma concentrations of low density lipoproteins (LDL) and very low density lipoproteins in humans. The present study was designed to examine the mechanism(s) by which diets enriched in omega-3 fatty acids reduce plasma LDL cholesterol levels in normal subjects. Seven healthy volunteers with normal plasma lipid levels consumed ...

Chitosan treatment results in significantly lower plasma LDL-cholesterol concentrations. To 12 test the working mechanism of Chitosan, we measured plasma surrogate markers of cholesterol 13 absorption, synthesis, and degradation to bile acids corrected for cholesterol concentration (R_sterols). 14 One hundred sixteen obese subjects (BMI 31.7, range 28.1 – 38.9 kg/m2) were studied under Chitosan...
