The invention provides compositions comprising formula 1 steroids, e.g., 16&agr;-bromo-3 &bgr;-hydroxy-5&agr;-androstan-17-one hemihydrate and one or more excipients, including compositions that comprise a liquid formulation comprising less than about 3% v/v water. The compositions are useful to make improved pharmaceutical formulations. The invention also provides methods of intermittent dosing of steroid compounds such as analogs of 16&agr;-bromo-3&bgr;-hydroxy-5&agr;-androstan-17-one and compositions useful in such dosing regimens. The invention further provides compositions and methods to inhibit pathogen replication, ameliorate symptoms associated with immune dysregulation and to modulate immune responses in a subject using the compounds. The invention also provides methods to make and use these immunomodulatory compositions and formulations.

The invention provides compositions comprising formula 1 steroids, e.g., 16alpha-bromo-3beta-hydroxy-5alpha-androstan-17-one hemihydrate and one or more excipients, typically wherein the composition comprises less than about 3% water. The compositions are useful to make improved pharmaceutical formulations. The invention also provides methods of intermittent dosing of steroid compounds such as analogs of 16alpha-bromo-3beta-hydroxy-5alpha-androstan-17-one and compositions useful in such dosing regimens. The invention further provides compositions and methods to inhibit pathogen (viral) replication, ameliorate symptoms associated with immune dysregulation and to modulate immune responses in a subject using certain steroids and steroid analogs. The invention also provides methods to make and use these immunomodulatory compositions and formulations.

The invention relates to processes for preparing 3α-O-linked steroids including 3α-O-linked-androst-5-ene steroids and 3α-O-linked-5a-androstane steroids. In one process a 3α,4α-epoxy androst-5-en-17-one is predominately reduced at the epoxy moiety wherein reduction of the 3α,4α epoxy functional group occurs preferentially at position C4 with retention of configuration at position C3 to provide a 3α-O-linked-androst-5-ene steroid. In another process, conditions are provided for inversion of configuration of a 3β-hydroxy-androst-5-ene steroid by the Mitsunobu reaction to provide a 3α-O-linked-androst-5-ene steroid with reduced amounts of 3α,5α-cycloandrostane side-product impurities.
