The identification of the in vitro metabolites of dehydroepiandrosterone formed from human prostate homogenate was investigated by hyphenated techniques using the stable-isotope dilution method. A mixture of dehydroepiandrosterone and [2H4]dehydroepiandrosterone was incubated with hypertrophied human prostate tissue homogenate in the presence of NAD, NADH and NADPH. The metabolites were extracted with AcOEt-hexane, purified by solid-phase extraction, and then analyzed by LC-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization MS and/or GC-MS. Androst-5-ene-3beta,17beta-diol (major product), androst-4-ene-3,17-dione, testosterone, 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone, androsterone, and 7alpha-hydroxydehydroepiandrosterone were identified in comparison with authentic samples based on their chromatographic behavior and mass spectra. 相似文献

Androst-4-ene-3,6-dione derivatives 2-4 and 3 alpha-methoxy-4-en-6-one steroid 7 were prepared and tested for their ability to inhibit aromatase in human placental microsomes. The 16 alpha-bromide 2, the 16 alpha-alcohol 3, and the 3 alpha-methoxide 7 of this series were effective competitive inhibitors of aromatase with apparent Ki's of 150 nM, 1.18 microM, and 700 nM. Compound 2 caused a time-dependent, biphasic loss of aromatase activity in the presence of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) while compound 7 caused a time-dependent, pseudo-first order inactivation of the activity, with kinact's of 0.417 and 0.036 min-1 for compounds 2 and 7. NADPH and oxygen were required for the time-dependent inactivation and the substrate, androst-4-ene-3,17-dione, prevented it in each case. 相似文献

Fermentation of (+)-androst-4-ene-3,17-dione (1) with Curvularia lunata for 10 days yielded five oxidative and reductive metabolites, androsta-1,4-diene-3,17-dione (2), 17beta-hydroxyandrosta-1,4-dien-3-one (3), 11alpha-hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione (4), 11alpha,17beta-dihydroxyandrost-4-en-3-one (5) and 15alpha-hydroxyandrosta-1,4-dien-17-one (6). The structures of these metabolites were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic techniques. These microbially transformed products were assayed against the clinically important enzymes, tyrosinase and prolyl endopeptidase. 相似文献

Crystalline cholest-4-en-3-one undergoes solid-state dimerization by UV radiation to give two ring A - ring A connected dimers. No dimerization occurs in solution. The first dimer, characterized by a cyclobutane ring, is formed by connection of C-2 and C-3 of a moiety with C-5' and C-6' of another moiety, respectively. The latter dimer has a six-membered ketal ring formed by connection of C-2 with C-5' and of O, linked to C-3, with C-3'. The structures have been determined by spectroscopic means. X-ray analysis of title compound evidences the proximity of the axial H-2 of a molecule to the C-4' of a molecule in the upper layer. The transfer of the hydrogen and the connection between C-2 and C-5' might be the driving force of dimerization. 相似文献

In recent years products containing 6alpha-methylandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione have appeared on the sport supplement market. Scientific studies have proven aromatase inhibition and anabolic and mild androgenic properties; however, no preparation has been approved for medical use up to now. In sports 6alpha-methylandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione has to be classified as a prohibited substance according to the regulations of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). For the detection of its misuse the metabolism was studied following the administration of two preparations obtained from the Internet (Formadrol and Methyl-1-Pro). Several metabolites as well as the parent compounds were synthesized and the structures of 3alpha-hydroxy-6alpha-methyl-5beta-androstan-17-one, 6alpha-methylandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione, and 5beta-dihydromedroxyprogesterone were confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The main metabolite, 3alpha-hydroxy-6alpha-methyl-5beta-androstan-17-one, was found to be excreted as glucuronide and was still detectable in microg/mL amounts until urine collection was terminated (after 25 h). Additionally, samples from routine human sports doping control had already tested positive for the presence of metabolites of 6alpha-methylandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione. Screening analysis can be easily performed by the existing screening procedure for anabolic steroids using 3alpha-hydroxy-6alpha-methyl-5beta-androstan-17-one as target substance (limit of detection <10 ng/mL). Its discrimination from the closely eluting drostanolone metabolite, 3alpha-hydroxy-2alpha-methyl-5alpha-androstan-17-one, is possible as the mono-TMS derivative. 相似文献

The metabolism and excretion of androst-4-ene-3,6,17-trione after administration of the 'nutritional' supplement 6-OXO was investigated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) in full-scan mode. The parent drug androst-4-ene-3,6,17-trione and androst-4-ene-6alpha,17beta-diol-3-one and androst-4-ene-6alpha-ol-3,17-dione were detected in the post-administration urine samples. Because androst-4-ene-3,6,17-trione is an anabolic steroid and an aromatase inhibitor, this substance is regarded as a doping agent. Hence, a selective and sensitive GC-MS method in selected ion monitoring mode for the detection of the TMS-enol-TMS-ether derivatives of these substances was developed and validated for doping control purposes. The limit of detection (LOD) of the investigated compounds ranged from 5 to 10 ng/mL. Using this method, the detection time for androst-4-ene-3,6,17-trione and androst-4-ene-6alpha,17beta-diol-3-one was 24 h, while androst-4-ene-6alpha-ol-3,17-dione could be detected up to 37 h after administration of the dose recommended by the manufacturer. 相似文献

[2 beta,7,7,16 beta-2H4]16 alpha,19-Dihydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione (14) and [7,7,16 beta-2H3]3 beta,16 alpha,19-trihydroxyandrost-5-en-17-one (16), with high isotopic purity, respectively, were synthesized from unlabeled 3 beta-(tert-butyldimethylsiloxy)-androst-5-ene-17 beta-yl acetate (1). The deuterium introduction at C-7 was carried out by reductive deoxygenation of the 7-keto compound 3 with dichloroaluminum deuteride and that at C-2 beta and/or C-16 beta by controlled alkaline hydrolysis of 16-bromo-17-ketone 11 or 12 with NaOD in D2O and pyridine. [7,7-2H2]3 beta-Hydroxyandrost-5-en-17-one (6), obtained from compound 1 by a five-step sequence, was converted to compound 14 or 16 by an eight-step or seven-step sequence, respectively. The labeled steroids 14 and 16 are useful as internal standards for gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of the endogenous levels. 相似文献

For almost two decades we have known that enzymatic hydrolysis of "normal" urine samples from the entire male horse using Escherichia coli (E. coli) followed by solvolysis (ethyl acetate:methanol:sulphuric acid) results in the detection of significant amounts of estr-4-ene-3,17-dione (19-norandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione) along with estr-4-en-17beta-ol-3-one (19-nortestosterone, nandrolone) in extracts of the hydrolysed urine and that both steroids are isolated from the solvolysis fraction. This solvolysis process is targeted at the steroid sulphates. Also we have shown that 19-norandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione and 19-nortestosterone are isolated from testicular tissue extracts. Subsequently, evidence was obtained that 19-nortestosterone detected in extracts of "normal" urine from male horses may not be derived from the 17beta-sulphate conjugate. However, following administration of 19-nortestosterone based proprietary anabolic steroids to all horses (males, females and castrates), the urinary 19-nortestosterone arising from the administration is excreted primarily as the 17beta-sulphate conjugate. Thus, if the 19-nortestosterone-17beta-sulphate conjugate arises only following administration this has interesting implications for drug surveillance programmes to control administration of 19-nortestosterone based anabolic preparations to male horses. These results have led us to consider that the precursors to 19-nortestosterone and 19-norandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione, present in the urine prior to the hydrolysis steps, have the same basic structure except for the functionality at the 17-position. We have used preparative high pressure liquid chromatography (LC) and LC fractionation to separate these precursors from the high amounts of oestrogenic sulphates present in "normal" urine from the entire male horse. Purified fractions have then been studied by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to identify the precursors. 相似文献

19-O-Acylation was found to be indispensable for 1,2-dehydrogenation of 19-hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione 1a with DDQ as an oxidant after exploring a variety of C-19 substituents. 1,2-Dehydrogenation in combination with subsequent A-ring aromatization via retro-aldol reaction provided a flexible and efficient protocol for the synthesis of estrogens. To demonstrate the utility of the protocol, pharmaceutically attractive estrogens were synthesized from easily available 19-hydroxy-4-ene-3-keto steroids. 相似文献

In the hyperacid medium HF-SbF5, 3,17-dione androst-1,4-diene leads first to the expected 1-methyl estrone and 1-hydroxy 4-methyl estra-1,3,5(10)-triene-17-one in a 9:1 ratio. In a second step, 1-methyl estrone isomerises to the more stable 1-methyl(8α, 14β)estrone. Kinetic studies show the influence of anion structure on the rate of the Al step. The mechanism of the phenol-phenol isomerisation is substantiated through trapping the short-lived species involved in the reaction by hydrogen (or deuterium) donor. This reduction gives 1-methyl (5βH or D) estr-1-en-3,17-dione setting up a mechanism involving C-para (C-10) and C-ortho (C-4) diprotonation of the aromatic ring. 相似文献

Transformation of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) (1) was carried out by a plant pathogen Rhizopus stolonifer, which resulted in the production of seven metabolites. These metabolites were identified as 3beta,17beta-dihydroxyanandrost-5-ene (2), 3beta,17beta-dihydroxyandrost-4ene (3), 17beta-hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3-one (4), 3beta,11-dihydroxyandrost-4-ene-17-one (5), 3beta,7alpha-dihydroandrost-5-ene-17-one (6), 3A,7alpha,17beta-trihydroxyandrost-5-ene (7) and 11beta-hydroxyandrost-4,6-diene-3,17-dione (8). The structures of the transformed products were determined by the spectroscopic techniques. 相似文献

Liquid chromatography with thermospray mass spectrometry has proved to be an invaluable technique for the study of metabolic degradation of xenobiotics in complex biological fluids. This paper describes the detection of 4-hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione and its metabolites in urinary extracts from prostatic cancer patients. Several metabolites were detected including 4 beta,5 alpha-dihydroxyandrostan-3,17-dione, 3,17-dihydroxyandrostan-4-ones and 3 alpha-hydroxy-5 beta-androstan-4,17-dione. 相似文献

The high resolution mass spectra (500 eV) of some α,β-unsaturated steroidal ketones have been studied and compared with the spectra of the corresponding α-chloromercuri ketones. In the latter, the carbon-mercury bond frequently remains intact at the expense of the fission of two carbon-carbon bonds. The abundance of mercury-containing ions allows the use of the mercury atom fingerprint in confirming ring B fragmentation of the steroid nucleus at C(6)–C(7) and C(9)–C(10) for 5α-androst-1-ene-3,17-dione, 1,4-androstadiene-3,17-dione and their 2-chloromercuri derivatives; and at C(7)–C(8) and C(9)–C(10) for 1,4,6-androstatriene-3,17-dione, 1,4,6-androstarien-17 β-ol-3-one and their 2-chloromercuri derivatives. 2-Chloromercuri-1,4,6-androstatriene-3,17-dione and 2-chloromercuri-1,4,6-androstatrien-17 β-ol-3-one also give an abundant ion as the result of ring C fragmentation at C(8)–C(14) and C(11)–C(12), the chloromercuri group being replaced by a hydrogen atom. This ring C cleavage gives the only recognizable distinctive fragmentation ion for 1,4,6-pregnatriene-3,20-dione and 2-chloromercuri-1,4,6-pregnatriene-3,20-dione. For most of the mercurated steroids, the low resolution mass spectra (70 eV) are reported. In these spectra, the fragmentation patterns are similar to those obtained using the higher ionization energy employed for the high resolution spectra. 相似文献

It is shown, that copper(I) complexes of 17-(2-iminomethyl)pyridino steroids (17-IMPY steroids) can react with molecular oxygen followed by a regio- and stereoselective γ-hydroxylation in 12β-position. After decomplexation and hydrolysis of the IMPY group 12β-hydroxy-17-ketones are available in practical useful yields. IMPY compounds are simple to prepare by condensation of oxo compounds with (2-aminomethyl)pyridine. In the cases of 17-IMPY steroids the yields in the hydroxylation procedure of an unactivated CH2 group are higher by starting with copper(II) complexes, reduction with benzoin/triethylamine in acetone and reaction with molecular oxygen in comparison to the direct reaction of copper(I) complexes with molecular oxygen in acetone. Employing the procedure in dichloromethane as solvent starting with copper(II) complexes surprisingly the 12β-chloro compound could be isolated next to the hydroxylation product. This regio- and stereoselective γ-chlorination takes place also in acetone, when triethylammonium chloride is added to the reaction mixture. Oxygen is necessary for this reaction. The mechanistic and stereochemical aspects of these new reactions are discussed. Comparison of the different yields of steroids with different A-ring [3-methoxy-estra-1,3,5(10)-triene and 3β-hydroxy-androst-5-ene] pointed out to a subtle influence of the molecular structure far from the reaction centre on these reactions. The successful hydroxylation of the IMPY derivative of 3β-hydroxy-androst-5-ene-17-one shows the tolerance of a homoallylic system against this oxidation procedure. By Oppenauer oxidation 12β-hydroxy-androst-4-ene-3,17-dione is available. The hydroxylation procedure opens a short way to 12β-hydroxy-17-oxo steroids, which are difficult to obtain by other routes. 相似文献

The in vivo phase I biotransformation of 17 alpha-methyltestosterone in the horse leads to the formation of a complex mixture of regio- and stereoisomeric C(20)O(2), C(20)O(3) and C(20)O(4) metabolites, excreted in urine as glucuronide and sulphate phase II conjugates. The major pathways of in vivo metabolism are the reduction of the A-ring (di- and tetrahydro), epimerisation at C-17 and oxidations mainly at C-6 and C-16. Some phase I metabolites have been identified previously by positive ion electron ionisation capillary gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/EI + MS) mainly from the characteristic fragmentation patterns of their methyloxime-trimethylsilyl ether (MO-TMS), enol-TMS or TMS ether derivatives. Following oral administration of 17 alpha-methyltestosterone to two castrated thoroughbred male horses, the glucuronic acid conjugates excreted in post-administration urine samples were selectively hydrolysed by E. coli beta-glucuronidase enzymes. Unconjugated metabolites and the steroid aglycones obtained after enzymatic deconjugation were isolated from urine by solid-phase extraction, derivatised as MO-TMS ethers and analysed by GC/EI + MS. In addition to some of the known metabolites previously identified from the characteristic mass spectral fragmentation patterns of 17 alpha-methyl steroids, some isobaric compounds exhibiting a diagnostic loss of 103 mass units from the molecular ions with subsequent losses of trimethylsilanol or methoxy groups and an absence of the classical D-ring fragment ion were detected. From an interpretation of their mass spectra, these compounds were identified as 17-hydroxymethyl metabolites, formed in vivo in the horse by oxidation of the 17-methyl moiety of 17 alpha-methyltestosterone. This study reports on the GC/EI + MS identification of these novel 17-hydroxymethyl C(20)O(3) and C(20)O(4) metabolites of 17 alpha-methyltestosterone excreted in thoroughbred horse urine. 相似文献

A sensitive procedure for studying the metabolism of the steroidal aromatase inhibitor 4-hydroxy-androst-4-ene-3,17-dione (4OHA) was developed based on enzyme hydrolysis, liquid-liquid extraction and reversed-phase liquid chromatography coupled with a mass spectrometer (LC-MS) using a thermospray interface. Seven metabolites were identified from the hydrolysed urine samples together with the parent drug. The major routes of metabolism were via dehydrogenation, reduction of the ketone functional groups, reduction at the C-4-C-5 double bond and hydroxylation at the C-5 position. Confirmation of the identity of 4OHA and its metabolites isolated from female patients' urine samples was accomplished by comparison of the retention times of their corresponding synthetic standards on LC-MS. We have demonstrated that this technique is particularly suitable for studying the metabolism of steroidal drugs. 相似文献
