The pharmacological activity of several new pregnane derivatives 15-19 were determined on gonadectomized male hamster flank organs, seminal vesicles and in vitro conversion of testosterone (T) to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) as 5alpha-reductase inhibitors. Steroids 15-19 decreased the diameter of the pigmented spot in the flank organs as compared to the T treated animals; in this model, steroids 16 and 19 showed a higher activity than the commercially available finasteride 3. Injection of T increased the weight of the seminal vesicles. Compounds 15-19 when injected together with T decreased the weight of the seminal vesicles thus showing an antiandrogenic effect. The trienone 19 exhibited a considerably higher activity than finasteride. Steroids 15-19 inhibited the in vitro metabolism of [3H]T to [3H]DHT in seminal vesicles homogenates of gonadectomized male hamsters. Compounds 18 and 19 showed a much higher antiandrogenic effect than finasteride. This enhancement of the biological activity could probably be attributed to the coplanarity of the steroidal skeleton as previously observed by our group. The high antiandrogenic activity of the epoxy compound 16 is probably the result of the ring opening of the oxiran ring with the nucleophilic part of the enzyme 5alpha-reductase thus leading to a stable adduct with concomitant deactivation of this enzyme. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to synthesize several new pregnane derivatives and evaluate them as antiandrogens. From the commercially available 16-dehydropregnenolone acetate (7), two new steroidal compounds were synthesized: 17alpha-hydroxy-17beta-methyl-16beta-phenyl-D-homoandrosta-1,4,6-triene-3,20-dione (18) and 17alpha-acetoxy-17beta-methyl-16beta-phenyl-D-homoandrosta-1,4,6-triene-3,20-dione (19). The 5alpha-reductase inhibitory effect of the new compounds 18 and 19 together with the previously synthesized intermediates 7, 8, 13, 16, and 17 was determined in three different models: gonadectomized hamster flank organs diameter size, incorporation of [1,2-(14)C]sodium acetate into lipids in flank organs and conversion of [3H]testosterone (T) to [3H]dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by Penicillium crustosum. The evaluation of these steroids was carried out with three different controls: one group was treated with vehicle, the second with T and the third group with T plus finasteride. The pharmacological results from this work demonstrated that T significantly increases the diameter of the pigmented spot on the flank organs (p<0.05) as well as the incorporation of labeled sodium acetate into lipids in gonadectomized hamster flank organs (from 0.125 to 0.255 nmol per gland). In this study we also observed that broth of Penicillium crustosum converted [3H]T to [3H]DHT in a manner comparable to that of the flank organs. All experiments indicated that finasteride as well as steroids 7, 8, 13, 16-19 reduced significantly the conversion of T to DHT in P. crustosum. These compounds also decrease the size of the pigmented spot in the flank organs as well as reducing the incorporation of radiolabeled sodium acetate into lipids; T and the control sample (treated with vehicle only) were used for comparison. Apparently the presence of the 4,6-diene-3,20-dione moiety and also the C-17 ester group produce a higher inhibitory effect on the parameters used. PPThe data from this study indicated also that the three models used for the pharmacological evaluation exhibited comparable results. 相似文献

The pharmacological activity of several 16-bromosubstituted trienediones 4 and 5, 16-methyl substituted dienediones 6 and 7 and the 16-methyl substituted trienedione 8 was determined on gonadectomized hamster seminal vesicles by measuring the in vitro conversion of testosterone (T) to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) as 5alpha-reductase inhibitors and also the ability of these steroids to bind to the androgen receptor. Steroids 6 and 7 when injected together with T decreased the weight of the seminal vesicles thus showing an antiandrogenic effect. Compounds 5 and 6 reduced substantially the conversion of T to DHT and therefore can be considered good inhibitors for the enzyme 5alpha-reductase; however both steroids failed to form a complex with the androgen receptor. On the other hand compound 7 which showed a very small inhibitory activity for the enzyme 5alpha-reductase, exhibited a very high affinity for the androgen receptor and thus can be considered an effective antiandrogen. This compound also reduced substantially the weight of the seminal vesicles. Steroids 4 and 8 did not reduce the weight of the seminal vesicles and exhibited a low affinity for the androgen receptor; 8 showed a weak 5alpha-reductase inhibitory activity, whereas 4 exhibited a weak androgenic effect. 相似文献

The pharmacological activity of eight pregnane derivatives 17-alpha acetoxyprogesterone 9, 17-alpha acetoxy-4, 5-epoxypregnan-3, 20-dione 10, 17-alpha acetoxy-4-chloro-4-pregnene-3, 20-dione 11, 17-alpha acetoxy-4-bromo-4-pregnene-3, 20-dione 12, 17-alpha hydroxy-4-bromo-4-pregnene-3, 20-dione 13, 4-chloro-17-alpha hydroxy-4-pregnene-3, 20-dione 14, 17-alpha benzoyloxy-4-bromo-4-pregnene-3, 20-dione 15 and 17-alpha benzoyloxy-4-chloro-4-pregnene-3, 20-dione 16 was determined. These compounds were evaluated as antiandrogens on gonadectomized hamster seminal vesicles. The pharmacological data in this study indicate that compounds 15 and 16 having a C-17 benzoyloxy moiety showed the highest antiandrogenic activity as measured by the reduction of the weight of the seminal vesicles, followed by the steroids 11 and 12 (17-alpha acetoxy group). The free alcohols 13 and 14 exhibited a lower antiandrogenic activity. Apparently, the ester moiety at C-17 is a necessary requirement for the presence of high antiandrogenic activity. Shows the inhibitory effect on the conversion of testosterone (T) to DHT, of the above described steroids as measured by the amount of produced DHT 2 expressed as pmoles of DHT/g of protein/h. Steroids 11, 12 and 16 showed a much higher inhibitory activity on the conversion of testosterone (T) to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) than presently used finasteride 3. 相似文献

The pharmacological activity of four new progesterone derivatives: 4-bromo-17alpha-(p-fluorobenzoyloxy)-4-pregnene-3,20-dione (7), 4-bromo-17alpha-(p-bromobenzoyloxy)-4-pregnene-3,20-dione (8), 4-bromo-17alpha-(p-chlorobenzoyloxy)-pregnene-3,20-dione (9) and 4-bromo-17alpha-(p-toluoyloxy)-4-pregnene-3,20-dione (10) was determined. These compounds were evaluated as 5alpha-reductase inhibitors on gonadectomized hamster seminal vesicles and flank organs. The pharmacological data of this study indicate that compounds 7 and 9 having at C-17 p-fluorobenzoyloxy and p-chlorobenzoyloxy ester functions respectively showed the highest antiandrogenic effect as measured by the reduction of the weight of the seminal vesicles. In the flank organ model, the same compounds 7 and 9 exhibited a smaller diameter, 1.8 and 1.0 mm, respectively, than the commercially available finasteride 3 (2.3 mm), thus indicating a higher inhibitory effect on 5alpha-reductase enzyme. Steroid 7 showed a higher inhibitory activity on the conversion of T to DHT (Fig. 3) than the presently used finasteride, thus indicating a higher antiandrogenic effect. The nonsubstituted benzoyloxy ester (compound 15) showed a lower antiandrogenic activity as measured in the seminal vesicles model than the p-substituted benzoyloxy compounds. 相似文献

In this study we report the synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of four new progesterone derivatives; 17alpha-hydroxy-16beta-methylpregna-4,6-diene-3,20-dione 12, 17alpha-cyclopropylcarbonyloxy-16beta-methylpregna-4,6-diene-3,20-dione 13, 17alpha-cyclobutylcarbonyloxy-16beta-methylpregna-4,6-diene-3,20-dione 14, 17alpha-acetoxy-16beta-methylpregna-4,6-diene-3,20-dione 15 and the pregnatriene compound 17alpha-cyclobutylcarbonyloxy-16beta-methylpregna-1,4,6-triene-3,20-dione 16. The pharmacological effect of these compounds was determined in vivo as well as in vitro. The evaluation in vivo was carried out on gonadectomized male hamsters that were injected subcutaneously daily with testosterone (T) and/or finasteride, or with the novel compounds. At the end of the treatments the animals were sacrificed and the prostates were weighed. It was observed that when testosterone (T) and finasteride or compounds 12-16 were injected together, the weight of the prostate decreased significantly as compared to that of the testosterone-treated animals. The 5alpha-reductase inhibitory activity was evaluated in vitro using human prostate homogenates. These experiments showed the following IC50 values: compound 12 (alcohol at C-17) 1.2 x 10(-6) M, 13 (cyclopropyl substituent at C-17) 7.9 x 10(-10) M, 14 (cyclobutyl substituent) 3.2 x 10(-8) M, 15 (acetoxy substituent) 6.3 x 10(-11) M and 16 (cyclobutyl substituent) 3.9 x 10(-6) M. It is evident from these data that when the size of the substituent at C-17 is decreased, the 5alpha-reductase inhibitory activity increases. Apparently, in this biological model, the 5alpha-reductase inhibitory activity depends upon the steric effect of the substituent at C-17. However, the free alcohol 12 showed much lower 5alpha-reductase inhibitory activity. 相似文献

Adrenal was believed to affect the prostate tumor tissue growth by its secretion of adrenal androgens. However, the mechanisms regulating these effects were not fully understood. In this work, a sensitive and specific method for the determination of 15 steroids in blood via gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in selective ion storage detection mode was established to evaluate the impact of emasculation on adrenal steroids metabolism. Steroids were isolated by solid-phase extraction using Oasis HLB cartridge, and then derivated with heptafluorobutyric anhydride before analysis. The limits of detection were between 0.15 and 1.0 ng/mL and limits of quantification were between 0.62 and 2.6 ng/mL. The recoveries of steroids were above 83%, and both the intra-day and inter-day precisions (RSD%) were lower than 8%. Pregnenolone, progesterone, 17α-hydroxyprogesterone (17αP), 17α-hydroxypregnenolone (17αH), dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), estrone, 17β-estradiol, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), testosterone (T), 4-androstenedione (4-A), 1,4-androstadiene-3,17-dione, 11-deoxycortisol, 11-deoxycorticosterone, cortisol and aldosterone were quantified in 156 major male SD rats at 0, 1, 2, 4, 7 days, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16 weeks following emasculation. T and DHT decreased by 86.2% and 73.4%, respectively in the first 7 days following emasculation, but adrenal androgens (DHEA, 4-A) stabled at the normal level accordingly. Adrenal androgens and their precursors (17αH, 17αP) increased from the 2nd week along with the increase of androgens and the decrease of mineralocorticoids. These facts revealed that adrenal possibly enhanced its function of producing adrenal androgens from the 2nd week responding to the low androgens level induced by emasculation. 相似文献

The in vitro antiandrogenic activity of four new progesterone derivatives: 4, 5, 6 and 7 (8 is a known compound) was determined. These compounds were evaluated as 5alpha-reductase inhibitors as well as by their capacity to bind to the androgen receptor in gonadectomized hamster prostate. The IC(50) value was determined using increasing concentrations of 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 in the presence of [(3)H]T and the microsomal fraction of the hamster prostate containing the 5alpha-reductase enzyme. In this paper we also demonstrated the effect of increasing concentrations of the novel steroids upon [(3)H]DHT binding to the androgen receptors from hamster prostate which produces competition for the androgen receptor sites. The in vitro studies showed that steroids 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 had an inhibitory activity for the 5alpha-reductase with IC(50) of: 4 (0.17 microM), 5 (0.19 microM), 6 (1 microM), 7 (4.2 microM), and 8 (2.7 microM). On the other hand, the IC(50) value for compounds 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and DHT showed the following order of affinity for the androgen receptor: 6>7>5>DHT. Surprisingly compounds 4 and 8 did not bind to the androgen receptor. The overall data indicate that all synthesized compounds are inhibitors for the enzyme 5alpha-reductase present in the hamster prostate. In contrast, compounds 5, 6 and 7, which have a cyclohexyl group in the side chain showed a high affinity for the androgen receptor. 相似文献

Steroid 5-α reductase (5AR) is responsible for the reduction of steroids to 5-α reduced metabolites, such as the reduction of testosterone to 5-α dihydrotestosterone (DHT). A new adverse outcome pathway (AOP) for 5AR inhibition to reduce female reproduction in fish (AOP 289) is under development to clarify the antiestrogenic effects of 5AR inhibitors in female fish. A sensitive method for the DHT analysis using chemical derivatization and liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry was developed. A cell-based 5AR inhibition assay that utilizes human cell lines, a transient overexpression system, and fish cell lines was developed. The measured IC50 values of two well-known 5AR inhibitors, finasteride and dutasteride, were comparable in the different systems. However, the IC50 of dutasteride in the fish cell lines was lower than that in the human cell lines. Finasteride showed a higher IC50 against the RTG-2 cell line. These results demonstrated that 5ARs inhibition could differ in terms of structural characteristics among species. The assay has high sensitivity and reproducibility and is suitable for the application in 5AR inhibition screening for various endocrine disruption chemicals (EDCs). Future studies will continue to evaluate the quantitative inhibition of 5AR by EDCs to compare the endocrine-disrupting pathway in different species. 相似文献

An efficient method for the simultaneous determination of eight steroids, androstenedione, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), testosterone, androsterone, etiocholanolone, progesterone and pregnenolone, in human hair by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) using d3-testosterone as internal standard is described. The method involves alkaline digestion, liquid-liquid extraction and subsequent conversion to mixed pentafluorophenyldimethylsilyl-trimethylsilyl (flophemesyl-TMS) derivatives for sensitive analysis in the selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode. This method showed good overall repeatability and reproducibility of 4.88-11.24 and 3.19-9.58%, respectively. For the first time, the quantification of DHT, DHEA and pregnenolone in human hair has been achieved by GC-MS, testosterone was also quantified. The detection of four steroids in hair samples was possible in the concentration range 0.12-8.45 ng g-1. The other four steroids, androstenedione, androsterone, etiocholanolone and progesterone, were not detected. The detection limits for SIM of the steroids varied in the range 0.02-0.5 ng g-1, and the SIM responses were linear with correlation coefficients varying from 0.991 to 0.996 for most of the steroids studied. The concentrations of the four steroids detected were different in male and female hair samples. 相似文献

A method of steroid profiling, including androgens, progestins, corticoids and sterols, was developed to evaluate the concentrations of steroids as well as the activities of the enzymes responsible for steroidogenesis in hair by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The extraction efficiencies of steroids from the hair matrix were improved by ultrasonication for 1 h at 50 °C. The overall recoveries ranged from 71 to 132%, with a limit of quantification for all analytes ranging from 1 to 50 ng/g. The devised method was used to identify the metabolic changes for both male‐pattern baldness (MPB) and the drug efficiency of dutasteride, which inhibits 5α‐reductase. Increased dihydrotestosterone levels and the dihydrotestosterone/testosterone (DHT/T) ratio, which is responsible for the 5α‐reductase activity, were observed in the MPB patients. A dutasteride treatment resulted in decreases in the DHT and 5α‐androstanedione concentrations and DHT/T ratio in the hair samples. Hair steroid profiling reflects the sebaceous status in the scalp and may be useful for monitoring the metabolic responses to both the disease and drug actions.

Abstract This report describes the simultaneous radioimmunoassay of plasma testosterone (T) and 5a-dihydrotestosterone (DHT), using as binding reagent a highly specific antiserum which reacted significantly with T and DHT. Utilizing a one step celite microcolumn to separate T from DHT, we have measured these two androgens accurately in small aliquots of plasma from both male and female subjects, Plasma concentrations of T and DHT expressed as mean ± S.D. in ng/ml were respectively: 1) in male subjects: a. normal adult: 4.9 ± 1.6 (T) and 1.3 ± 0.8 (DHT); b. hypogonadal: 0.24 ± 0.08 (T) and 0.20 ± 0.10 (DHT); c. prepubertal: 0.14 ± 0.02 (T) and 0.05 ± 0.02 (DHT). 2) in female subjects: a. normally menstruating, irrespective of time of cycle: 0.22 ± 0.07 (T) and 0.34 ± 0.17 (DHT); b. postmenopausal: 0.29 ± 0.08 (T) and 0.15 ± 0.07 (DHT); c. ovariectomized: 0.24 ± 0.06 (T) and 0.09 ± 0.01 (DHT). When plasma levels of T and DHT were measured during a complete menstrual cycle, the levels of these steroids were found to be higher during the luteal than during the follicular phose. The ratio of plasma T:DHT concentrations was five times higher in normal adult male (3.1) than in menstruating female subjects (0.6). 相似文献

The synthesis of capped mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) conjugated with an antibody (AB) as a gatekeeper has been carried out in order to obtain a delivery system able to release an entrapped cargo (dye) in the presence of a target molecule (antigen) to which the conjugated antibody binds selectively. In particular, MSN loaded with rhodamine B and functionalized on the external surface with a suitable derivative of N-(t-butyl)-3-oxo-(5α,17β)-4-aza-androst-1-ene-17-carboxamide (finasteride) have been prepared (S1). The addition of polyclonal antibodies against finasteride induced capping of the pores due to the interaction with the anchored hapten-like finasteride derivative to give a MSN–hapten–AB nanoparticle S1-AB. It was found that the addition of capped material S1-AB to water solutions containing finasteride resulted in displacement of the antibody, pore uncapping and entrapped-dye release. The response of the gated material is highly selective, and only finasteride, among other steroids, was able to induce a significant uncapping process. Compared with finasteride, the finasteride metabolite was able to release 17 % of the dye, whereas the exogen steroids testosterone, metenolone and 16-β-hydroxystanozolol only induced very little release of rhodamine B (lower than 10 %) from aqueous suspensions containing sensing solid S1-AB. A detection limit as low as 20 ppb was found for the fluorimetric detection of finasteride. In order to evaluate a possible application of the material for label-free detection of finasteride, the capped material was isolated and stored to give final sensing solid S1-AB-i. It was found to display a similar behavior towards finasteride as to that shown by freshly prepared S1-AB; even after a period of two months, no significant loss of selectivity or sensitivity was noted. Moreover, to study the application for the detection of finasteride in biological samples, this “aged” material, S1-AB-i, was tested using commercially available blank urine as matrix. Samples containing 70 and 90 % blank urine were spiked with a defined amount of finasteride, and the concentration was determined using capped S1-AB-i. Recovery ranges from 94 % to 118 % were reached. 相似文献

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the most common urinary diseases affecting men, generally after the age of 50. The prevalence of this multifactorial disease increases with age. With aging, the plasma level of testosterone decreases, as well as the testosterone/estrogen ratio, resulting in increased estrogen activity, which may facilitate the hyperplasia of the prostate cells. Another theory focuses on dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and the activity of the enzyme 5α-reductase, which converts testosterone to DHT. In older men, the activity of this enzyme increases, leading to a decreased testosterone/DHT ratio. DHT may promote prostate cell growth, resulting in hyperplasia. Some medicinal plants and their compounds act by modulating this enzyme, and have the above-mentioned targets. This review focuses on herbal drugs that are most widely used in the treatment of BPH, including pumpkin seed, willow herb, tomato, maritime pine bark, Pygeum africanum bark, rye pollen, saw palmetto fruit, and nettle root, highlighting the latest results of preclinical and clinical studies, as well as safety issues. In addition, the pharmaceutical care and other therapeutic options of BPH, including pharmacotherapy and surgical options, are discussed, summarizing and comparing the advantages and disadvantages of each therapy. 相似文献

Steroid profiling is one of the most versatile and informative screening tools for the detection of steroid abuse in sports drug testing. Concentrations and ratios of various endogenously produced steroidal hormones, their precursors and metabolites including testosterone (T), epitestosterone (E), dihydrotestosterone (DHT), androsterone (And), etiocholanolone (Etio), dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), 5alpha-androstane-3alpha,17beta-diol (Adiol), and 5beta-androstane-3alpha,17beta-diol (Bdiol) as well as androstenedione, 6alpha-OH-androstenedione, 5beta-androstane-3alpha,17alpha-diol (17-epi-Bdiol), 5alpha-androstane-3alpha,17alpha-diol (17-epi-Adiol), 3alpha,5-cyclo-5alpha-androstan-6beta-ol-17-one (3alpha,5-cyclo), 5alpha-androstanedione (Adion), and 5beta-androstanedione (Bdion) add up to a steroid profile that is highly sensitive to applications of endogenous as well as synthetic anabolic steroids, masking agents, and bacterial activity. Hence, the knowledge of factors that do influence the steroid profile pattern is a central aspect, and pharmaceutical (application of endogenous steroids and various pharmaceutical preparations), technical (hydrolysis, derivatization, matrix), and biological (bacterial activities, enzyme side activities) issues are reviewed. 相似文献

Summary Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) using NH2-modified TLC plates is a reproducible method for the measurement of steroids. The sensitivity of determination of steroids (cortisol, cortisone, testosterone, progesterone) by measuring fluoresence in situ can be increased twofold if chromatograms are dipped into a mixture of hexane-paraffin. Fluorescence is further increased if filters are used, which cut emission wavelengths below 400 nm. Using the modifications described, steroid concentrations of about 5 ng per spot could be accurately determined. The increased sensitivity allows measurement of the plasma levels of cortisol in small laboratory animals such as guinea pigs. 相似文献

Abstract We have established a method for the separation of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone in seminal plasma by high performance liquid chromatography. The separation column is a reversed phase column (ODS). The mobile phase is methanol-water (8:2) and the flowrate is 1.5 m1/min. It takes 12–14 min to separate a sample. The recoveries are 96.4% and 96.5% respectively by radioactivety labelled steroids. We have separated 600 seminal plasma samples with this method. The separated testosterone and dihydrotestosteroneare determined by radioimmunoassay. The result have shown that the method is satisfactory. 相似文献

A sensitive liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MS/MS) method for the simultaneous quantitative analysis of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and testosterone (T) from biological fluids has been developed. Commercially available deuterated analogues were used as internal standards. Steroids were extracted from serum or testicular fluid with hexane/ethyl acetate, evaporated to dryness, and treated with hydroxylamine to form their oxime derivatives. Upon chromatographic separation, the compounds were quantified using selected reaction monitoring (SRM). For T, the [M+H](+) ion at m/z 304 and the fragment ion at m/z 124 were used as the precursor and product ions. For DHT the ion cluster [M+H+ACN](+) at m/z 347 and the dissociated ion [M+H](+) at m/z 306 were used as the precursor and product ions, respectively. The limits of detectability on-column were in the sub-femtomole range for both compounds and the intra-day coefficient of variation (CV) for analysis from serum was less than 7% for both compounds. Given its high reproducibility, sensitivity, and relative simplicity, this assay should be of use in determining androgen levels in biospecimens, particularly in settings where sample quantity or steroid concentration are low. 相似文献

ABSTRACT: A TLC densitometric method was developed for simultaneous determination of four anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) of testosterone derivatives including testosterone propionate (TP), testosterone phenyl propionate (TPP), testosterone isocaproate (TI) and testosterone deaconate (TD) in their pharmaceutical products. Separation was carried out on Al based TLC plates, pre-coated with silica gel 60F-254 using hexane and ethyl acetate (8.5:1.5, v/v). Spots at Rf 0.31+/-0.01, 0.34+/-0.01, 0.40+/-0.01 and 0.45+/-0.02 were recognized as TPP, TP, TI and TD, respectively. Quantitative analysis was done by densitometric measurements at lambdamax 251 nm for all derivatives. The developed method was validated as per ICH guidelines. Method was found linear over the concentration range of 200-1200 ng/spot with the correlation coefficient of 0.995, 0.993, 0.995 and 0.996 for TP, TPP, TI, TD, respectively. Limit of detection for all derivatives were in the range of 16.7-22.3 ng/spot while limit of quantitation were found to be in the range of 55.7-70.9 ng/spot. The developed TLC method can be applied for the simultaneous routine analysis of testosterone derivatives in their individual and combined pharmaceutical formulations. 相似文献
