In vivo and in vitro effect of novel 4,16-pregnadiene-6,20-dione derivatives, as 5α-reductase inhibitors

The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2008
In this study, we report the synthesis and biological evaluation of several new 3-substituted pregna-4,16-diene-6,20-dione derivatives (11a-11d). These compounds were prepared from the commercially available 16-dehydropregnenolone acetate. The biological effect of these steroids was demonstrated in in vivo and in vitro experiments.

The relevance of hypothalamic and hyphophyseal progestin receptor regulation in the induction and inhibition of sexual behavior in the female rat.

Endocrinology, 1979
Modifications in the concentration of progestinbinding sites (PR) in rat hypothalamus and pituitary, measured with [3H]R5020 (promegestone, 17,21-dimethyl-19-nor-4,9-pregnadiene-3,20-dione) have been related to the facilitative and inhibitory actions of ...

Efficient Synthesis of Steroidal Intermediates with a C17 Side Chain from Phytosterols by Genetically Modified Mycolicibacterium neoaurum NRRL B-3805 Strain.

ChemistryOpen
22-Hydroxy-23,24-bisnorchol-4-ene-3-one (4-HBC) and 3-oxo-4,17-pregnadiene-20-carboxylic acid methyl ester (PDCE) are useful precursors for the synthesis of steroidal active pharmaceutical ingredients.

A bio-assay for the concomitant assessment of the antiphlogistic and thymolytic activities of topically applied corticoids.

Endocrinology, 1965
A reliable laboratory assay for rapidly quantitating the topical anti-inflammatory efficacy of steroids has been established. Croton oil, applied topically to the rat ear, elicited an acute phlogistic response which could be quantitated by removal and ...

Response of rat ventral prostate to a new and novel 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor.

Endocrinology, 1981
17β-N,N-Diethylcarbamoyl-4-methyl-4-aza-5αandrostan-3-one (4-MA) strongly inhibits the 5α-reductase-mediated conversion of testosterone (T) to 5α-dihydrotestosterone [17β-hydroxy-5α-androstan-3-one (DHT)] both in vitro and in vivo.

Crystal and molecular structure of 17α‐acetoxy‐21‐hydroxy‐1,4‐pregnadiene‐3,20‐dione

Crystal Research and Technology, 1990
AbstractThe title compound 17α‐acetoxy‐21‐hydroxy‐1,4‐pregnadiene‐3,20‐dione crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P 212121 with four molecules in the unit cell and the lattice parameters a = 10.950, b = 11.857, c = 15.634 Å. The crystal structure was determined by direct methods and refined by full matrix least squares calculations up to the ...
