3p-Methyl ether of dehydroepiandrosterone was obtained by microbiological transformation of 3?-methyl ether of cholesterol with Mycobacterium sp. Androstane-3,17-dione, androst-4-ene-3,17-dione, and androsta-1,4-diene-3,17-dione were minor transformation products.

Conditions are described for the preparation of cholesterol with 17O and 18O labels from i-cholesteryl methyl ether using minimal amounts of isotopically enriched water. Optimum yields employed trifluoromethanesulfonic acid as catalyst in 1,4-dioxane at room temperature with 5 equivalents of water. An isotopic enrichment >90% of that of the water used for the reaction could be attained. Tetrafluoroboric acid could also be used as catalyst, at the expense of a lower overall reaction yield. Byproducts from the reaction included dicholesteryl ether, methyl cholesteryl ether, compounds formed by ether hydrolysis, and olefins arising from elimination reactions. Reactions in tetrahydrofuran yielded significant amounts of cholesteryl ethers formed by reaction with alcohols arising from hydrolysis of the solvent.

In this study, a reliable protocol for determination of total cholesterol in serum using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was established. The total free cholesterol was extracted from the serum with chloroform and derivatized with bis(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide, analyzed without the saponification step commonly used. Linear calibration curves of cholesterol were obtained from the concentration 0.1 to 15 mmol L-1. The limit of detection was 0.04 mmol L-1. Finally, the proposed method was to explore the influence of high cholesterol diet on total cholesterol in serum of rats.
