Novel benzoic acid hydrazones of 5α-androstan-3,17-dione have been prepared on the basis of steroidal tigogenin of the plant Yucca gloriosa. The hydrazones of the General Formula (I), General Formula (II) and General Formula (III) as shown in the accompanying FIGURE of the drawing are synthesized. The hydrazones have shown promising anti-T.B., anti-cancer and anti-HIV activity revealing immense potential as more efficacious, less toxic drugs with fewer undesirable side effects. They could also prove valuable in correcting hormonal abnormalities that cause severe health problems.
