, p. 490 - 491 (1987)
19-Nor steroids (7) and (8) have been synthesised via oxidation of 2,4-dibromoestrogens (1) and (2) with nitric acid followed by hydrogenation over palladium-on-charcoal and subsequent treatment with Nafion-H.

Estr-4-en-3,17-dione II, 17β-hydroxyestr-4-en-3-one III, 15α-hydroxyestr-4-en-3,17-dione IV, and 15α,17β-dihydroxyestr- 4-en-3-one V were produced by microbial transformation of nandrolone decanoate I in the culture of Acremonium strictum PTCC 5282. Bioconversion characteristics observed were ester hydrolysis, oxidation, and hydroxylation. Each microbial product was purified chromatographically and characterized on the basis of spectral data obtained from 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, FT-IR, MS, and physical constants such as melting point and optical rotation.
Where does hydrolysis of nandrolone decanoate occur in the human body after release from an oil depot?

Long-term therapy of nandrolone (N) is recommended to increase mineral density and muscle strength. Using a parenteral sustained release drug formulation with nandrolone decanoate (ND), therapeutic N levels can be achieved and maintained. Until now, it is unknown if hydrolysis of ND into N occurs in tissue at the injection site or after systemic absorption. Therefore, hydrolysis studies were conducted to investigate the location and rate of ND hydrolysis after its release from the oil depot. ND hydrolysis was studied in porcine tissues, to mimic the human muscular and subcutaneous tissues. Additionally, the ND hydrolysis was studied in human whole blood, plasma and serum at a concentration range of 23.3–233.3?μM. ND hydrolysis only occurred in human whole blood. The hydrolysis did not start immediately, but after a lag time. The mean lag time for all studied concentrations was 34.9?±?2.5?min. Because of a slow penetration into tissue, hydrolysis of ND is found to be very low in surrounding tissue. Therefore the local generation of the active compound is clinically irrelevant. It is argued that after injection of the oil depot, ND molecules will be transported via the lymphatic system towards lymph nodes. From here, it will enter the central circulation and within half an hour it will hydrolyse to the active N compound.
Extreme electric fields power catalysis in the active site of ketosteroid isomerase
Fried, Stephen D.,Bagchi, Sayan,Boxer, Steven G.
, p. 1510 - 1514 (2014)
Enzymes use protein architecture to impose specific electrostatic fields onto their bound substrates, but the magnitude and catalytic effect of these electric fields have proven difficult to quantify with standard experimental approaches. Using vibrational Stark effect spectroscopy, we found that the active site of the enzyme ketosteroid isomerase (KSI) exerts an extremely large electric field onto the C=O chemical bond that undergoes a charge rearrangement in KSI's rate-determining step. Moreover, we found that the magnitude of the electric field exerted by the active site strongly correlates with the enzyme's catalytic rate enhancement, enabling us to quantify the fraction of the catalytic effect that is electrostatic in origin. The measurements described here may help explain the role of electrostatics in many other enzymes and biomolecular systems.

Regio- and stereoselective reduction of 17-oxosteroids to 17β-hydroxysteroids by a yeast strain Zygowilliopsis sp. WY7905

, p. 17 - 24 (2016/12/22)
The reduction of 17-oxosteroids to 17β-hydroxysteroids is one of the important transformations for the preparation of many steroidal drugs and intermediates. The strain Zygowilliopsis sp. WY7905 was found to catalyze the reduction of C-17 carbonyl group of androst-4-ene-3,17-dione (AD) to give testosterone (TS) as the sole product by the constitutive 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (17β-HSD). The optimal conditions for the reduction were pH 8.0 and 30 °C with supplementing 10 g/l glucose and 1% Tween 80 (w/v). Under the optimized transformation conditions, 0.75 g/l AD was reduced to a single product TS with >90% yield and >99% diastereomeric excess (de) within 24 h. This strain also reduced other 17-oxosteroids such as estrone, 3β-hydroxyandrost-5-en-17-one and norandrostenedione, to give the corresponding 17β-hydroxysteroids, while the C-3 and C-20 carbonyl groups were intact. The absence of by-products in this microbial 17β-reduction would facilitate the product purification. As such, the strain might serve as a useful biocatalyst for this important transformation.

Compounds having the structure or their salts: are used to treat or reduce le likelihood of acquiring androgen-dependent diseases, such as prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia, polycystic ovarian syndrome, acne, hirsutism, seborrhea, androgenic alopecia and male baldness. They can be formulated together with pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier or otherwise made into any pharmaceutical dosage form. Some of these compounds having tissue-specific antiandrogenic activity and tissue-specific androgenic activity can be used to treat or reduce the risk of developing diseases related to loss of androgenic stimulation. Combinations with other active pharmaceutical agents are also disclosed.
