The hydrogenation of .ALPHA.-hydroxymethylene-ketone derivatives to .ALPHA.-hydroxymethyl-ketone derivatives with a cell-free system of Streptomyces cinereocrocatus.
Methyldrostanolone (2 alpha,17 alpha-dimethyl-17 beta-hydroxy-5 alpha-androstan-3-one) was synthesized from drostanolone (17 beta-hydroxy-2 alpha-methyl-5 alpha-androstan-3-one) and identified in commercial products. Cultures of cryopreserved human hepatocytes were used to study the biotransformation of drostanolone and its 17-methylated derivative. For both steroids, the common 3 alpha-(major) and 3 beta-reduced metabolites were identified by GC-MS analysis of the extracted culture medium and the stereochemistry confirmed by incubation with 3 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase. Structures corresponding to hydroxylated metabolites in C-12 (minor) and C-16 were proposed for other metabolites based upon the evaluation of the mass spectra of the pertrimethylsilyl (TMS-d(0) and TMS-d(9)) derivatives. Finally, on the basis of the GC-MS and H-1 NMR data and through chemical synthesis of the 17-methylated model compounds, structures could be proposed for metabolites hydroxylated in C-2. All the metabolites extracted from hepatocyte culture medium were present although in different relative amounts in urines collected following the administration to a human volunteer. therefore confirming the suitability of the cryopreserved hepatocytes to generate characteristic metabolites and study biotransformation of new steroids.

2', 3'-Dihydro-5'-formylgriseofulvin (3), oxymetholone (5), and 3β-acetoxy-16-acetoxymethylene-5-androsten-17-one (9) were used as the substrates of a cell-free system from Streptomyces cinereocrocatus NRRL 3443. The reuslts indicated that S. cinereocrocatus contains enzymatic activities which reduce the above three α-hydroxymthylene-ketones to the corresponding α-hydroxymethyl-ketones.
