Compounds of formula (1),
H(α)OR(β), Y represents H2 or OH(∇)H(β), Z represents H or OH(α), and R represents H, COCH3, COCH2CH3, COCH(CH3)2 or COC(CH3)3. which are prepared by bringing androst-4-ene-3,17-dione into contact with microorganisms belonging to the genus Acremonium. These compounds are effective in inhibiting estrogen synthetase of human placenta origin.

Biotransformation of steroids with 4-ene-3-one functionality such as progesterone (I), testosterone (II), 17 alpha-methyltestosterone (III), 4-androstene-3,17-dione (IV) and 19-nortestosterone (V) were studied by using a fungal system belonging to the genera of Mucor (M881). The fungal system efficiently and quantitatively converted these steroids in regio- and stereo-selective manner into corresponding 6 beta,11 alpha-dihydroxy compounds. Time course experiments suggested that the transformation was initiated by hydroxylation at 6 beta- or 11 alpha-(10 beta-hydroxy in case of V) to form monohydroxy derivatives which upon prolonged incubation were converted into corresponding 613,11oc-dihydroxy derivatives. The fermentation studies carried out using 5 L table-top fermentor with substrates (I and II) clearly indicates that 6 beta,11 alpha-dihydroxy derivatives of steroids with 4-ene-3-one functionality can be produced in large scale by using M881.
