Metabolism of anabolic steroids in humans: Synthesis of 6β-hydroxy metabolites of 4-chloro-1,2-dehydro-17α-methyltestosterone, fluoxymesterone, and metandienone
摘要:
Hydroxylation at position 6 beta of testosterone I (17 beta-hydroxyandrost-4-en-3-one) and the anabolic steroids 17 alpha-methyltestosterone II (17 beta-hydroxy-17 alpha-methylandrost-4-en-3-one), metandienone III (17 beta-hydroxy-17 alpha-methylandrosta-1, ,4-dien-3-one), 4-chloro-1,2-dehydro-17 alpha-methyltestosterone IV (4-chloro-17 beta-hydroxy-17 alpha-methylandrosta-1 ,4-dien-3-one), and fluoxymesterone V (9-fluoro-11 beta, 17 beta-dihydroxy-17 alpha-methylandrost-4-en-3-one) was achieved via light-induced autooxidation of the corresponding trimethylsilyl 3,5-dienol ethers dissolved in isopropanol or ethanol. The reaction further yielded the 6 alpha-hydroxy isomer in low amounts. The 6 beta-hydroxy isomers of I-V and the 6 alpha-hydroxy isomers of I, III, and IV were isolated and characterized by H-1 and C-13 NMR, high-performance liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, and mass spectrometry. Human excretion studies with single administered doses of boldenone (17 beta-hydroxyandrosta-1,4-dien-3-one), 4-chloro-1,2 -dehydro-17 alpha-methyltestosterone, fluoxymesterone, metandienone, 17 alpha-methyltestosterone, and [16, 16, 17-H-2(3)]testosterone showed that 6 beta-hydroxylation is the major metabolic pathway in the metabolism of 4-chloro-1,2-dehydro-17 alpha-methyltestosterone, fluoxymesterone, and metandienone, whereas for boldenone, 17 alpha-methyltestosterone, and testosterone, 6 beta-hydroxylation is negligable.

A method of selective biooxidation to non activated carbon-hydrogen bonds of substances using a

‘Old Yellow Enzyme’ is provided”. It is shown that OYEs can be used to facilitate the biooxydation of substances, such as testosterone. It is also shown that OYE can introduce double bonds to form alpha, betaalpha, beta desaturated ketones. Furthermore, it is also shown that the use of OYEs allows for the production of oxidized substances in one step reactions, which are otherwise not accessible or only accessible after complex and inefficient multi-step reactions. In addition, the OYE used shows high stability (e.g. at high temperature, or in long lasting bioconversions). An exemplary embodiment is provided showing the use of an OYE to convert testosterone to 6α-hydroxytestosterone.
The present invention relates to non-human transgenic animals, tissues and/or cells derived therefrom having depleted or ablated cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) expression, methods of producing such animals, tissues and/or cells, and methods of using such animals, tissues and/or cells. Non-human transgenic animals, tissues and or cells derived therefrom of the present invention may be used for, but non exclusively, in both in vivo and in vitro screening of therapeutic agents, drug development, drug metabolism/disposition studies and studying disease states, pregnancy, fetal development, modulation of hormone function and hormone levels, and other pathways and/or substrate metabolism in which cytochrome P450 plays a role.
The impact of chemical enhancers on the biotransformation of testosterone has been exploited. Application of crude cell concentrates to produce Bacillus stearothermophilus-mediated bioconversion of testosterone at 65 degrees C for 72 h has been examined. After incubation, the xenobiotic substrate was added to the concentrated whole cell suspensions. The enhancer molecules were included in the whole cell suspension. The resultant products, after extraction into an organic solvent, were purified by thin layer chromatography and identification was carried out through spectroscopic data. Five steroid metabolites 9,10-seco-4-androstene-3,9,17-trione, 5 alpha-androstan-3,6,17-trione, 17 beta-hydroxy-5 alpha-androstan-3,6-dione, 3 beta,17 beta-dihydroxyandrost-4-ene-6-one and 17 beta-hydroxyandrost-4,6-diene-3-one were identified as biotransformation products of testosterone. A possible biosynthetic route for these bioconversion products is postulated. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
