چکیده
The structure of the title compound, C(19)H(28)O(2), has been redermined at 295 (2) K, with much improved precision. The structure and mol-ecular packing of the title compound was first reported by Coiro et al. [Acta Cryst. (1973). B29, 1404-1409] by means of potential-energy calculations. The cell parameters in this study differ considerably in space group C2. It is a derivative of testosterone and consists of a cyclo-penta-none ring (A) fused to to successive cyclo-hexane (B and C) and cyclo-hexa-none (D) rings. The three cyclo-hexa-none rings are in slightly distorted boat configurations and the cyclo-penta-none ring is a distorted half-chair. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions involving O atoms from each of the cyclo-hexa-none and cyclo-penta-none rings and H atoms from each of their respective rings.

Bio-Catalytic Structural Transformation of Anti-cancer Steroid, Drostanolone Enanthate with Cephalosporium aphidicola and Fusarium lini, and Cytotoxic Potential Evaluation of Its Metabolites against Certain Cancer Cell Lines
In search of selective and effective anti-cancer agents, eight metabolites of anti-cancer steroid, drostanolone enanthate (1), were synthesized via microbial biotransformation. Enzymes such as reductase, oxidase, dehydrogenase, and hydrolase from Cephalosporium aphidicola, and Fusarium lini were likely involved in the biotransformation of 1 into new metabolites at pH 7.0 and 26°C, yielding five...

The localization and some characteristics of mouse adrenal C19-steroid 5fi-reductase were determined by the incubation of subcellular fractions of mouse adrenal tissue with [7a-3H]androst-4-ene-3,17-dione. This enzyme was present only in the soluble fraction and was NADPH-dependent, although a small activity in the presence ofNADH was also detected. The soluble fraction also contained 3 a-, 3,6...

The bacterial degradation of cholic acid under anaerobic conditions by Pseudomonas sp. N.C.I.B. 10590 was studied. The major unsaturated neutral compound was identified as 12 beta-hydroxyandrosta-4,6-diene-3,17-dione, and the major unsaturated acidic metabolite was identified as 12 alpha-hydroxy-3-oxochola-4,6-dien-24-oic acid. Eight minor unsaturated metabolites were isolated and evidence is g...

In the fight against androgen-sensitive prostate cancer, the enzyme 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 3 (17β-HSD3) is an attractive therapeutic target considering its key role in the formation of androgenic steroids. In this study, we attempted to assess the in vivo efficacy of the compound RM-532-105, an androsterone derivative developed as an inhibitor of 17β-HSD3, in the prostate cancer ...
متن کامل3-Keto-5α-steroid 1-dehydrogenase from Rhodococcus erythropolis SQ1 and its orthologue in Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv are highly specific enzymes that function in cholesterol catabolism
The Rhodococcus erythropolis SQ1 kstD3 gene was cloned, heterologously expressed and biochemically characterized as a KSTD3 (3-keto-5α-steroid -dehydrogenase). Upstream of kstD3, an ORF (open reading frame) with similarity to 4 KSTD (3-keto-5α-steroid -dehydrogenase) was found, tentatively designated kst4D. Biochemical analysis revealed that the 1 KSTD3 has a clear preference for 3-ketosteroids...
