摘要:
THIS INVENTION RELATES TO THE PRODUCTION OF ACETALS AND KETALS OF 2B,16A-DIHYDROXYHYDROCORTISONE AND ACYL DERIVATIVES THEREOF. THESE COMPOUNDS ARE PREPARED BY SUBJECTING ACETALS AND KETALS OF 16A-HYDROXYCORTEXOLONE TO THE ACTION OF ENZYMES OF ABSIDIA COERULEA. THE FINAL PRODUCTS OF THIS INVENTION ARE THERAPEUTICALLY USEFUL COMPOUNDS POSSESSING ANTI-INFLAMMATORY AND PROGESTATIONAL ACIVITY. IN ADDITION, THE PRODUCTS OF THIS INVENTION ARE USEFUL AS ANTI-OXIDANTS AND ANTI-CORROSIVE AGENTS. THEY ARE ALSO SURFACTANTS AND THUS MAY BE EMPLOYED AS EMULSIFIERS AND WETTING AGENTS.

PROCESS FOR THE MICROBIOLOGICAL 1B,11A-BIS-HYDROXYLATION OF RING A- AND C-SATURATED 5A- AND 5(6)-DEHYDROPREGNAN-20-ONES WHEREIN THE STEROID SUBSTRATE IS INCUBATED WITH ONE OF THE MICROORGANISMS ASPERGILLUS OCHRACEUS, ASPERGILLUS NIDULANS, RIHIZOPUS ARRHIZUS, CORTICIUM PRATICOLA OR POLYSTICTUS SANGUINEUS AND RECOVERING THE BISHYDROXYLATED PRODUCT.
摘要:
The invention disclosed herein relates to the process in which an 11-desoxy-3-oxygenated - Delta 4-steroid is subjected to the action of Bacillus cereus microorganisms thereby effecting simultaneous oxygenation (i.e., 11-hydroxylation) and Delta 1dehydrogenation of the steroid to produce an 11 Beta -hydroxy-3oxygenated- Delta 1,4steroid. For example, the 11-desoxy-3oxygenated- Delta 4steroid, Compound S, is converted directly by this microbiological oxygenation-dehydrogenation procedure to its 11 Beta -hydroxy- Delta 1-dehydro analog, prednisolone, which is known to be useful as an anti-inflammatory agent.
