Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Progesterone metabolism by the rabbit liver microsomal cytochromes P-450 system has been investigated with reverse phase (C18) high performance liquid chromatography. Time-course studies indicated that 6 beta-OHDOC accumulated as a secondary metabolite produced by the sequential 6 beta- and 21-hydroxylation of progesterone. When 21-hydroxylation occurred first, DOC accumulated and 6-hydroxylation was reduced. 16-OHP was resistant to secondary metabolism at both the 6- and 21-positions. The variable rates of 21-hydroxylase activity between different rabbits was further influenced by the nature of C-6-function in the order of 6-oxo greater than 6 beta-OH greater than 6 beta-OH greater than 6 alpha-OH greater than 6-H greater than 6 beta-acetoxy. These results indicate the potential interaction of the microsomal cytochromes P-450 and/or products in the sequential hydroxylation of a single steroid substrate at multiple sites.
