Degradation Mechanism of Cholesterol and Its Derivatives by Microorganisms. II Iso of-Hydronyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione

미생물에 의한 cholesterol과 그유도체의 분해기구 II 19-Hydronyandrost-4-ene-3, 17-dione의 분리

When 19-hydroxycholesterol acetate was added into CSD-10 in Nutrient Broth or in a mineral salts medium consisting of KH$_{2}$PO$_{4}$(0.1%), $K_{2}$HPO$_{4}$(0.1%), NH$_{4}$NO$_{3}$(0.1%), MgSO$_{4}$(0.02%), CaCl$_{2}$(0.002%), and FeCl$_{3}$(0.005%), a substantial amount of 19-hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione was accumulated prior to accumulation of estrone. From this result and all of previous works, a tentative degradation pathway of 19-hydroxycholesterol acetate to estrone by CSD-10 was derived. 19-hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione seems to be an attractive intermediate for the synthesis of 19-norsteroids.
