This step clearly reveals that the side chain is a pyrrole derivative. As already pointed
out the side chain is having one N–CH

The point of attachment of the side chain: The C-3 of the position of the pyridine nucleus
may be attached either to C-2 or C-3 of N-methyl pyrrolidine. Hence, the side chain of

STEROIDS
Steroids are a unique class of chemical compounds found widely in the animal and plant kingdom.
These are characterized by the presence of a 1,2-cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene nucleus in
their structure. The steroids include a wide variety of naturally occurring synthetic substances,
such as sterols (including vitamin D), bile acids, adrenal cortical and sex hormones, various
contraceptive drugs, cardiac-active lactones (cardiac glycosides), sapogenins and certain alkaloids
and antibiotics.

Pharmaceutical Chemistry of Natural Products
The term cholesterol was derived from the Greek words bile (which means ‘chole’) and solid
(which means ‘sterols’). The modern era of steroid research began with steroid chemistry in the
1900s. Dr AO Windaus worked for over 20 years and received the Nobel Prize in 1928 for his
research on the ‘constitution of sterols’.
Drs Heinrich and Wieland engaged in natural products chemistry, including bile acids, and
were awarded the Nobel Prize in 1928.
A total of six Nobel Prizes were awarded to scientists working in the area of steroids, among
the six, four prizes were in the steroid chemistry category. The pioneer work of Adolf Windaus and
Heinrich Wieland in the structural elucidation of a number of important steroids led to the many
signifi cant discoveries in the world of steroids.
The two interesting discoveries mentioned (points ‘1’ and ‘2’ below) in the late 1940s and
early 1950s had a dramatic effect not only on steroid research but also on the pharmacological
applications of steroids. This led to an extensive research on medicinal chemistry, pharmacology
and clinical studies of steroid agonists and antagonists.
1. The clinical report on the anti-infl ammatory effect of cortisone in patients with rheumatoid
arthritis.
2. The use of oestrogen and progestin preparations for contraception.
Steroids when dehydrogenated with selenium at 360°C yield Diels’ hydrocarbon. On the basis
of this reaction, a steroid may be defi ned as any compound which yields Diels’ hydrocarbon when
distilled with selenium. However, if the steroids are distilled with selenium at 420°C, they mainly
yield chrysene and a small amount of picene.

Steroids and Hormones

The overall class of steroids is found almost entirely as solids and the melting points for
steroids range from approximately 100 to 250°C. Generally steroids are insoluble in water, but
they are reasonably soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, acetone, chloroform and dioxane.
Oestrogens with a phenolic hydroxyl group on the aromatic A ring are soluble in dilute sodium
hydroxide.
Nomenclature of Steroids
1. Steroids consist of four fused rings (A, B, C and D). Chemically these hydrocarbons are
cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrenes. They contain a fi ve-membered cyclopentane (D)
ring and three rings of phenanthrene, i.e. perhydrophenanthrene (rings A, B and C) is the
completely saturated derivative of phenanthrene.

2. Earlier, the various steroids were generally designated by their common or trivial names,
such as cholesterol, progesterone, testosterone and oestradiol. However, these names were
discarded due to developments in chemistry and systematic names as per the International
Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) nomenclature were favoured.
3. The steroid scaffold contains 17 carbon atoms, and the numbering of the carbon atoms begins
with the carbons of the phenanthrene, followed by numbering the remaining carbons of the
cyclopentane ring. Additional carbon atoms on steroids including angular methyl groups
attached to C-10 and C-13 and alkyl substituents on C-17 are numbered.
4. The systematic names for steroids are based upon the stem name (Figure 6.1) which in turn
is based on the hydrocarbon system. Cholestane is the term used for steroids with 27 carbon
atoms, pregnanes are steroids with 21 carbon atoms, androstanes have 19 carbon atoms, estranes
have 18 carbon atoms and gonanes have 17 carbon atoms.
5. If any unsaturation (double bond) is present in the steroid, the ‘ane’ ending of the stem name
is replaced by ‘ene’ if it contains one double bond, ‘diene’ if it contains two double bonds,
‘triene’ if it contains three double bonds.
6. The symbol Δ is often used to designate a C=C bond in a steroid. If C=C is in between carbons
4 and 5, the compound is referred to as a Δ
4
steroid,
and if the C=C bond is between positions
5 and 10, the compound is designated as Δ
5(10)
steroid.
