title: Enzyme-catalyzed synthesis of radiolabeled 5-pregnen-3 beta-ol-20-one sulfate.
abstract: The enzymatic synthesis of [3H]5-pregnen-3 beta-ol-20-one sulfate using [3H]5-pregnen-3 beta-ol-20-one, 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate and hydroxysteroid sulfotransferase 1 purified from rat liver is reported. The described procedure allowed the obtainment of high specific activity [3H]5-pregnen-3 beta-ol-20-one sulfate in yields ranging from 78 to 86% with respect to [3H]5-pregnen-3 beta-ol-20-one. Two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography was used to purify [3H]5-pregnen-3 beta-ol-20-one sulfate which upon solvolysis resulted in the formation of [3H]5-pregnen-3 beta-ol-20-one. The identity both of the synthesized compound and the solvolysed one was confirmed by reversed-phase high pressure liquid chromatography, and 2-dimensional thin-layer chromatography.
