The invention disclosed herein relates to novel steroid compositions and, more particularly, to compositions effective as androgen biosynthesis inhibitors and containing 3-oxygenated-17-acylamido-steroids of the androstane series. The new compositions, comprising 3-oxygenated-17-acylamidoandrostanes and unsaturated derivatives, are extremely active in lowering the biosynthesis of testicular androgens which can stimulate over development of sebaceous glands with resultant acne and which are often productive of prostatic enlargement.
