Process for the production of hydroxylated derivatives of cholesterol and 7-dehydrocholesterol which comprises subjecting a saturated unsubstituted or substituted derivative of cholestane, dissolved in a suitable solvent, in the presence of peracetic acid, to irradiation with ultra-violet radiation of a wavelength below 350m.mu. , or heating in a suitable solvent, separating the reaction products, which if desired, are converted to other derivatives, and recovering the residue of the starting material. Novel derivatives are obtained and these are: 3.beta.-acetoxy,25-hydroxy,5.alpha.-cholestane; 3.beta.-acetoxy, 5.alpha.,25-dihydroxy cholestane; 3.beta.,5.alpha.,25-trihydroxy cholestane; 3-keto, 5.alpha.,25-dihydroxy cholestane; 3-keto,25-hydroxy-.DELTA..sup.4 -cholestane; 3.beta.,25-diacetoxy-5.alpha.-hydroxy-cholestane; 3.beta.-acetoxy, 25-trichloroacetoxy-5.alpha.-hydroxy-cholestane, 25-trichloroacetoxy-cholesterol and 25-acetoxy-cholesterol.

In addition, the helianthrones of formula (I) can be used for the treatment of tumors in the absence of light irradiation. New compounds include those of formula I which are other than hypericin and known hypericin derivatives and there is either a C11-C12 bond or at least one R″ is other than hydrogen.

R3 is preferably methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, 2-methoxyethyl or 2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl. The compounds may be formulated into pharmaceutical compositions and may be used in any manner which has previously been known for hypericin.
