  • Title: Two androsterone derivatives as inhibitors of androgen biosynthesis.
    Author: Djigoue GB, Simard M, Kenmogne LC, Poirier D.
    Journal: Acta Crystallogr C; 2012 Jun; 68(Pt 6):o231-4. PubMed ID: 22669194.
    Abstract:
    The title compounds, (3R,5S,5'R,8R,9S,10S,13S,14S)-10,13-dimethyl-5'-(2-methylpropyl)tetradecahydro-6'H-spiro[cyclopenta[a]phenanthrene-3,2'-[1,4]oxazinane]-6',17(2H)-dione, C(26)H(41)NO(3), (I), and methyl (2R)-2-[(3R,5S,8R,9S,10S,13S,14S)-10,13-dimethyl-2',17-dioxohexadecahydro-3'H-spiro[cyclopenta[a]phenanthrene-3,5'-[1,3]oxazolidin-3'-yl]]-4-methylpentanoate, C(28)H(43)NO(5), (II), possess the typical steroid shape (A-D rings), but they differ in their extra E ring. The azalactone E ring in (I) shows a half-chair conformation, while the carbamate E ring of (II) is planar. The orientation of the E-ring substituent is clearly established and allows a rationalization of the biological results obtained with such androsterone derivatives.
