Isolierung und Konstitutionsermittlung weiterer Pregnanverbindungen aus Nebennieren. Über Steroide, 144. Mitteilung

Abstract

Abstract Nine additional compounds of the pregnane series have been isolated from adrenals. Elucidation of their constitution showed that four are known compounds, but five are new. They are derived from the classical corticoids by hydroxylation in the 6β‐ or 19‐positions, by reduction of the 4,5‐double bond or 20‐keto group, and by oxydation of the angular 18‐methyl group not merely to an aldehyde, as in aldosterone, but to a carboxyl group. The latter derivative is of special biochemical interest.
