New steroidal derivatives synthesized using 3beta-hydroxyandrosten-17-one as starting material

Acta Pharm. 2008 Mar;58(1):43-59. doi: 10.2478/v10007-007-0044-2.

Abstract

In this study, we synthesized some new substituted steroidal derivatives using 3beta-hydroxyandrosten-17-one (dehydroepiandrosterone) as starting material. The synthesized steroidal derivatives 1-11 were evaluated for their androgenic-anabolic activities compared to testosterone as positive control. Details of the synthesis, spectroscopic data and toxicity (LD50) of synthesized compounds are reported.
