18-Substituted progesterone derivatives as inhibitors of aldosterone biosynthesis.
The synthesis of new progesterone derivatives substituted at the 18 methyl group is described. These compounds are designed as 18-monooxygenase, cytochrome P-450-dependent potential kcat inhibitors. Preliminary results on the in vitro biological investigation of these modified progesterones are presented.
