In this work a new steroid-dihydropyrimidine derivative was synthesized. The route involved preparation of a dihydrotestosterone-dihydropyrimidine derivative using dihydrotestosterone, benzaldehyde, and thiourea in the presence of hydrochloric acid, followed by esterification of the dihydrotestosterone-dihydropyrimidine derivative with succinic acid to form a succinate-dihydrotestosterone-dihydropyrimidine conjugate.
