Abstract: | Summary The metabolic fate of the 17-ketol side chain of (21-3H) prednisolone was studied with an enzyme preparation from male golden hamster liver. The acidic metabolite of prednisolone was identified by mass spectrometry as 11, 17,20-trihydroxy-3-oxo-1,4-pregnadien-21-oic acid. The enzyme showed substrate specificity, depending on the nature of substituent on the steroid nucleus.This investigation was supported in part by USPHS Grant CA 2515. |
