title: Potential hypolipidemic agents derived from 3-hydroxy-17,17-dimethylgona-1,3,5(10),8,11,13-hexaene.
abstract: Numerous aryloxy derivatives containing a lipophilic group have been found to possess hypolipidemic activity. This has prompted the preparation of various derivatives of 3-hydroxy-17,17-dimethylgona-1,3,5(10),8,11,13-hexaene (6a). In 6a the lipophilic biphenyl group is incorporated into the steroid nucleus. A three-step synthesis of 6a from 17beta-methylestradiol methyl ether was developed. The derivatives prepared were tested in rats made hypercholesterolemic with propylthiouracil. Several were found active in this test.
