Detection of 5alpha-androst-2-en-17-one and variants: Identification of main urinary metabolites in human urine samples by GC-MS and NMR.[Pubmed:27714952]

Drug Test Anal. 2016 Nov;8(11-12):1174-1185.

Two steroids were identified in a supplement named D-2 following the detection of unknown compounds during the routine testing of an athlete's sample. The main glucuroconjugated metabolites were isolated from this urine by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) following enzymatic hydrolysis and identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analyses as being 2alpha-hydroxy-5alpha-androst-3-en-17-one (M1) and 2beta,3alpha-dihydroxy-5alpha-androstan-17-one (M2). A third metabolite, 3alpha,4beta-dihydroxy-5alpha-androstan-17-one (M3) was also detected, however in lower amounts. The precursor steroids, 5alpha-Androst-2-en-17-one (1) and 5alpha-androst-3-en-17-one (2) were present in the first D-2 products offered on the Internet. Later, the corresponding 17-hydroxyl compounds were offered as such or as esters (acetate, cypionate) in different relative ratios. Both M2 and M3 were synthesized from the trans-diaxial hydrolysis of the corresponding 2alpha,3alpha- and 3alpha,4alpha-epoxides (3). These were excreted in the hours following the controlled administration of the commercial product called D-2 R to a male volunteer and were also produced from the incubation of 1 and 2 with S9 liver fractions. Some preparations contain predominantly the alkene in C-2 and, therefore, an efficient detection method must include both primary metabolites M1 and M2. The latter was found equally in the fractions extracted following the enzymatic hydrolysis with beta-glucuronidase and the chemical solvolysis, which may ease its identification.

Steroidal aromatase inhibitors inhibit growth of hormone-dependent breast cancer cells by inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.[Pubmed:23842740]

Apoptosis. 2013 Nov;18(11):1426-1436.

Different hormonal therapies are used for estrogen receptor positive (ER(+)) breast cancers, being the third-generation of aromatase inhibitors (AIs), an effective alternative to the classical tamoxifen. AIs inhibit the enzyme aromatase, which is responsible for catalyzing the conversion of androgens to estrogens. In this study, it was evaluated the effects of several steroidal AIs, namely 3beta-hydroxyandrost-4-en-17-one (1), androst-4-en-17-one (12), 4alpha,5alpha-epoxyandrostan-17-one (13a) and 5alpha-Androst-2-en-17-one (16), on cell proliferation, cell cycle progression and cell death in an ER(+) aromatase-overexpressing human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7aro). All AIs induced a decrease in cell proliferation and these anti-proliferative effects were due to a disruption in cell cycle progression and cell death, by apoptosis. AIs 1 and 16 caused cell cycle arrest in G0/G1, while AIs 12 and 13a induced an arrest in G2/M. Moreover, it was observed that these AIs induced apoptosis by different pathways, since AIs 1, 12 and 13a activated the apoptotic mitochondrial pathway, while AI 16 induced apoptosis through activation of caspase-8. These results are important for the elucidation of the cellular effects of steroidal AIs on breast cancer cells and will also highlight the importance of AIs as inducers of apoptosis in hormone-dependent breast cancers.

Gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry-based metabolomic to screen for anabolic practices in cattle: identification of 5alpha-androst-2-en-17-one as new biomarker of 4-androstenedione misuse.[Pubmed:22282099]

J Mass Spectrom. 2012 Jan;47(1):131-40.

The use of anabolic steroids as growth promoters for meat-producing animals is banned within the European Union. However, screening for the illegal use of natural steroid hormones still represents a difficult challenge because of the high interindividual and physiological variability of the endogenous concentration levels in animals. In this context, the development of untargeted profiling approaches for identifying new relevant biomarkers of exposure and/or effect has been emerging for a couple of years. The present study deals with an untargeted metabolomics approach on the basis of GC-MS aiming to reveal potential biomarkers signing a fraudulent administration of 4-androstenedione (AED), an anabolic androgenic steroid chosen as template. After a sample preparation based on microextraction by packed sorbent, urinary profiles of the free and deglucurono-conjugates urinary metabolites were acquired by GC-MS in the full-scan acquisition mode. Data processing and chemometric procedures highlighted 125 ions, allowing discrimination between samples collected before and after an administration of 4-AED. After a first evaluation of the signal robustness using additional and independent non-compliant samples, 17 steroid-like metabolites were pointed out as relevant candidate biomarkers. All these metabolites were then monitored using a targeted GC-MS/MS method for an additional assessment of their capacity to be used as biomarkers. Finally, two steroids, namely 5alpha-androstane-3beta,17alpha-diol and 5alpha-Androst-2-en-17-one, were concluded to be compatible with such a definition and which could be finally usable for screening purpose of AED abuse in cattle.

Another designer steroid: discovery, synthesis, and detection of 'madol' in urine.[Pubmed:15712284]

Rapid Commun Mass Spectrom. 2005;19(6):781-4.

Madol (17alpha-methyl-5alpha-androst-2-en-17beta-ol) was identified in an oily product received by our laboratory in the context of our investigations of designer steroids. The product allegedly contained an anabolic steroid not screened for in routine sport doping control urine tests. Madol was synthesized by Grignard methylation of 5alpha-Androst-2-en-17-one and characterized by mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy. We developed a method for rapid screening of urine samples by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) of trimethylsilylated madol (monitoring m/z 143, 270, and 345). A baboon administration study showed that madol and a metabolite are excreted in urine. In vitro incubation with human liver microsomes yielded the same metabolite. Madol is only the third steroid never commercially marketed to be found in the context of performance-enhancing drugs in sports.

Headspace solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for the determination of 5alpha-androst-2-en-17-one and -17beta-ol in the female Asian elephant: application for reproductive monitoring and prediction of parturition.[Pubmed:12711027]

J Steroid Biochem Mol Biol. 2003 Feb;84(2-3):383-91.

Asian elephants are not self-sustaining in captivity. The main reasons for this phenomenon are a low birth rate, an aging population, and poor calf-rearing. Therefore, it is essential that reproductive rates had to be improved and there is need for rapid quantitative measures to monitor reproductive functions focussing on estrous detection and the prediction of the period of parturition. The objective of this study was to develop a method which combines headspace solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for analyses of 5alpha-androst-2-en-17beta-ol and -17-one to prognose estrous and to predict the period of parturition. SPME was carried out with a CTC Combi Pal system. The course of the luteal phase-specific substance 5alpha-androst-2-en-17beta-ol and -17-one followed a cyclic pattern in which the follicular and luteal phases could be clearly distinguished (mean estrous cycle length, 15+/-1.4 weeks). Based on daily urine samples, estrous prognosis might be possibly based on the initial 5alpha-androst-2-en-17beta-o1 increase at the end of the follicular phase. Parturition prognosis was performed in three elephant cows based on the 5alpha-androst-2-en-17beta-o1 drop to baseline levels 5-4 days prior parturition. Experiments revealed that 5alpha-androst-3alpha-ol-17-one and probably 5alpha-androst-3alpha-ol-17beta-ol are generated from sulfate conjugates by a thermal process.

Demonstration of 2-unsaturated C19-steroids in the urine of female Asian elephants, Elephas maximus, and their dependence on ovarian activity.[Pubmed:11226074]

Reproduction. 2001 Mar;121(3):475-84.

Air-borne volatile substances have been demonstrated to signal oestrus, induce ovulation and synchronize ovarian activity in different mammals. An oestrous-related pheromone of the female Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) is known to induce behavioural responses in elephant bulls. Additional data revealed that timing of oestrus in females with close social relationships tends to be synchronized. Therefore, urine from female Asian elephants might be expected to contain luteal phase-dependent volatile substances, which may function as additional chemical signals in this species. The aim of the present study was to identify such compounds and to investigate their pattern of excretion throughout the ovarian cycle. Urine samples were collected three times a week during the follicular phase and one to three times a week during the luteal phase from five adult female Asian elephants from a total of 13 non-conception cycles and one conception cycle, including the first 72 weeks of pregnancy. A simple headspace solid-phase microextraction method has been developed for quantification of urinary volatile substances and analysis was performed by gas chromatography. The comparison of urine collected during the follicular and the luteal phase indicated the presence of two luteal phase-dependent substances. Mass spectrometry was used to identify one substance as 5alpha-Androst-2-en-17-one and a second substance as the corresponding alcoholic compound 5alpha-androst-2-en-17beta-ol. The 5alpha-androst-2-en-17beta-ol and -17-one profiles reflected cyclic ovarian activity with clear (10-20-fold) luteal phase increases. Furthermore, measurements of both compounds were correlated positively with the concentration of urinary pregnanetriol and indicated cycle duration (15.1 +/- 1.2 weeks) similar to that obtained from pregnanetriol measurements (15.2 +/- 1.6 weeks). The results demonstrate the presence of two luteal phase-specific steroidal volatile compounds in elephant urine. One of the substances, 5alpha-Androst-2-en-17-one, has been demonstrated in human axillary bacterial isolates. The measurement of both volatile substances in elephant urine can be used for rapid detection of the stage of the ovarian cycle, as the analysis can be completed within 2 h.

Capillary gas chromatography with chemical ionization negative ion mass spectrometry in the identification of odorous steroids formed in metabolic studies of the sulphates of androsterone, DHA and 5alpha-androst-16-en-3beta-ol with human axillary bacterial isolates.[Pubmed:9449209]

J Steroid Biochem Mol Biol. 1997 Sep-Oct;63(1-3):81-9.

The products of metabolism of the sulphates (0.5 micromol/l) of androsterone, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHA) and 5alpha-androst-16-en-3beta-ol have been investigated after incubation with 72 h cultures of human axillary bacterial isolates for 3 days at 37 degrees C. The medium used, tryptone soya broth (TSB), contained yeast extract and Tween 80. The isolates used were Coryneform F1 (known previously to metabolize testosterone and to be involved in under-arm odour (UAO) production, i.e. UAO +ve), Coryneform F46 (inactive in both the testosterone metabolism and UAO tests, i.e. UAO -ve) and Staphylococcus hominis/epidermidis (IIR3). Control incubations of TSB alone, TSB plus each of the steroid sulphates and TSB plus each of the bacterial isolates were also set up. After termination of reactions and addition of internal standards, 5alpha-androstan-3beta-ol and 5alpha-androstan-3-one (50 ng each), extracted and purified metabolites were subjected to combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry with specific ion monitoring. Steroidal ketones were derivatized as their O-pentafluorobenzyl oximes; steroidal alcohols (only androst-16-enols in this study) were derivatized as their tert-butyldimethylsilyl ethers. Analysis was achieved by negative ion chemical ionization mass spectrometry for the pentafluorobenzyl oximes at [M-20]- and electron impact positive ion mass spectrometry for the tert-butyldimethylsilyl ethers at [M-57]+. The incubation broth contained two compounds which had gas chromatographic and mass spectrometric properties identical to those of DHA and 4-androstenedione. It was not possible, therefore, to show unequivocally that DHA sulphate (DHAS) was converted microbially into DHA, although this is implied by the finding of small quantities of testosterone and 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone in incubations with F1. With androsterone S, no free androsterone was recorded and only very small (5 pg or less) amounts of testosterone. Two odorous steroids, androsta-4,16-dien-3-one and 5alpha-Androst-2-en-17-one (Steroid I) were formed (mean quantities 40 and 45 pg, respectively). The sulphate of 5alpha-androst-16-en-3beta-ol was metabolized with F1 into large quantities of the odorous steroids, 5alpha-androst-16-en-3-one and Steroid I. In addition, much smaller quantities of androsta-4,16-dien-3-one were formed. In contrast, incubations of DHAS with F46 resulted in no metabolites except, possibly, DHA, but the sulphate moiety of androsterone S was also cleaved to yield the free steroid together with large amounts of Steroid I. In incubations of DHAS and androsterone S with F1, no 16-unsaturated steroids were formed, although 5alpha-androst-16-en-3beta-yl S was de-sulphated and the free steroid further metabolized. No evidence was obtained for androst-16-ene metabolism in incubations with F46. In incubations with S. hominis/epidermidis (IIR3), androsterone S was converted into androsterone and, in high yield, to Steroid I plus some 5alpha-androst-16-en-3-one. Both DHAS and androsterone S were converted into androst-16-enols. Sulphatase activity was also manifested when 5alpha-androst-16-en-3beta-yl S was utilized as substrate with IIR3, large quantities of Steroid I and 5alpha-androst-16-en-3-one being formed, together with further metabolism of androst-16-enes. In view of the fact that both DHAS and androsterone S occur in apocrine sweat, the metabolism of these endogenous substrates by human axillary bacteria to several odorous steroids may have important implications in the context of human odour formation.

The changing role of ultraviolet spectroscopy in drug analysis.[Pubmed:2490539]

J Pharm Biomed Anal. 1989;7(12):1527-33.

New applications in the identification of minor components in drugs by rapid scanning diode-array UV spectrophotometers as high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) detectors are exemplified by (a) identification and quantification of alpha-chloro-4-methoxycinnamic acid methyl ester as the byproduct of the Darzens reaction between 4-methoxybenzaldehyde and chloroacetic acid methyl ester; and (b) identification of 4-androsten-17-one and 3 beta-phenyl-5 alpha-androstan-17-one as impurities in 5 alpha-Androst-2-en-17-one. The advantages of the use of derivative spectrophotometry are illustrated by the following examples: (a) determination of flumecinol (3-trifluoromethyl-alpha-ethylbenzhydrol) in an oily emulsion formulation; (b) determination of RGH-6148 (2-benzylthiazolidinone) in a suspension used in toxicological studies; and (c) determination of mestranol as an impurity in norethisterone.
