Chemistry of steroidal hormones and
contraceptive agents

Prepared by: arzoo dharasandia
Guided by: Stephen sir
1
Adrenocortical Hormones
Adrenal gland:
 Medulla:
 produces Epinephrine
(stimulated by sympathetic
impulse)
 Cortex:
 Zona glomerulosa – produces
Aldosterone
(stimulated by Angiotensin II and
ACTH)
 Zona fasciculata – produces
Glucocorticoids
(stimulated by ACTH =
Corticotropin)
 Zona reticularis – produces
Androgens
2
Adrenocortical Hormones
Glucocorticoids (GC):
 Inhibit all phases of inflammatory reaction
 Promote fetal development (lungs)
 Unregulate lipocortin => inhibits PLA2 => no PG and LT synthesis
 Undesirable effects of increased GC:
 Immune suppression
 Increased glucose release (=> “steroid diabetes”)
 Glucose coverted to fat => adiposity
 Increased protein catabolism => muscle atrophy
 Salt and water retention (increased GC lead to reduction in ACTH =>
decreases levels of aldosterone) => hypertension
 Osteoporosis
3
Adrenocortical Hormones
Glucocorticoids (GC):
 Hydrocortison (= Cortisol)
 Main glucocortocoid in humans
 Also binds mineralocorticoid receptor
(Cortison does NOT)
 Used for replacement therapy (Addison’s Disease)
4
Topical Hydrocortisone
 Hydrocortisone is a topical steroid. It reduces the
actions of chemicals in the body that cause
inflammation, redness, and swelling.
 Hydrocortisone topical is used to treat inflammation of
the skin caused by a number of conditions such as
allergic reactions, eczema, or psoriasis.
 Hydrocortisone topical may also be used for other
purposes .it do not give any antibacterial activity.
5
Hydrocortisone oral
 Hydrocortisone is also used
to treat low hydrocortisone
levels caused by diseases of
the adrenal gland (such as 
Addison's disease,
adrenocortical
insufficiency).
 Corticosteroids are needed
in many ways for the body
to function well. They are
important for salt and water
balance and keeping 
blood pressure normal.
6
Female sex hormone and
hormonal drugs
7
Hormones involved in ovulation process
 Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone
(GnRH) = Gonadoliberin
stimulates release of
 Follicle stimulating hormone
(FSH) = Follitropin
and
 Luteinising Hormone
(LH) = Lutropin
which trigger production of
 Estrogens (E) and Gestagens (G)
which in turn negatively regulate
 Pituitary (E+G) and Hypothalamus (G)
hormone production
8
How estrogen and progesterone are produced and
involved in female reproductive cycle
 Cycle length varies from 21-35 days
 Menstruation 3-6 days
 First (= Proliferative) phase:
 Variable (7-21 days)
 FSH and LH promote follicle development
 One follicle becomes the Graafian follicle
(the rest degenerate)
 Graaffian Follicle:
 Consists of thecal and granulosa cells
which surround the ovum
 FSH-stimulated granulosa cells produce
estrogens from androgen precursors
generated by LH-stimulated thecal cells
 Estrogens are responsible for the
proliferative phase: increase in thickness
and vascularity of endometrium; secretion
of protein+ carbo-rich mucus
 Constant low estrogen inhibits LH/FSH production BUT high estrogen cause surge
of LH production => swelling and rupture of Graafian follicle = Ovulation
9
Sex Steroids
 Female reproductive cycle
 Second (= Secretory) phase:
 Secretory phase constant (~ 14 days)
 LH-stimulated ruptured follicle develops
into Corpus luteum which secrets
Progesterone
 Progesterone (Pg) is responsible for the
secretory phase: endometrium becomes
suitable for implantation; mucus thickens
 Thermogenic effects of Pg =>
body temperature increase 0.5º C
 Without implantation: Pg secretion stops
=> menstruation is triggered
 With implantation: continued Pg
production
which (via inhibition of LH and FSH prod.)
blocks further ovulation
 Chorion (“precursor” of placenta)
secretes
human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG)
which
maintains endometrium lining throughout
pregnancy (HCG -> see pregnancy test)
10
Sex Steroids 11
ESTROGENS
All produced from androgen precursors
Three main endogenous estrogens:
 Estradiol
 Primary estrogen in humans
 Breast development
 Improving bone density
 Growth of the uterus
 Accelerating bone maturation
 Development of the endometrium to support pregnancy
 Promoting vaginal mucosal thickness and secretions
 Increase HDL
 Estrone
 1/3 active than estradiol
 Estriol
 only during pregnancy (made by fetus)

 Aromatic ring with C-3-OH is essential for activity.
 Steroidal structures is not essential for activity.
 The intensity of activity changesif route of administration
changes, e.g.,for oral route: Estriol > estradiol > estrone.
 For subcutaneous route: estradiol > estrone > estriol.
 Alkylation of the aromatic ring decrease the activity.
 The 17β-hydroxyl with constant distance from 3-OH is
essential for activity.
 The group between the two hydroxyl must be
hydrophobic.
 Unsaturation of ring B decreases the activity.
 17α- and 16 position when modified enhance the activity.
Example: mestranol.

 Estradiol:
 Estradiol is rapidaly oxidized in the liver to form estrone,
which is ineffective.
 Ethinyl estradiol:
 15- 20 more potent than estradiol orally.
 Adding a 17β-ethiny to estradiol blocks this oxidation and
makes the compound orally active.
16
Synthetic or non-steroidal estrogens
 Diethylstilbesterol:
 The trans form is the active
one.
 Advantages:
 As active as Estradiol.
 Longer duration of action.
 Orally active
 Cheap.
 Disadvantages:
 Increase the risk of uterine
cancer.
 Uses:
 Treatment of prostate cancer.

ESTROGEN ANTAGONISTS
 Tamoxifen
 Antiestrogenic effects on mammary
tissue
 Weak estrogenic effects on bone and
lipid metabolism
 Clomiphene
 Inhibits estrogen binding in the pituitary
=> prevention of negative feedback=>
ovulation
Clinical uses of anti-estrogens:
 Breast cancer therapy (Tamoxifen)
 Infertility (Clomiphen)
18
progesterone
 Progesterone
 Inhibits rhythmic contractions of the myometrium
 Not suitable for oral administration
(rapid hepatic elimination) => stable derivatives:
 Hydroxyprogesterone
 Medroxyprogesterone
19
Sar of progesterone
 Steroidal nucleus essential for activity.
 Have some androgenic activity.
 Removal of the 19 CH3 increase activity.
 Unsaturation of ring B or C increase the activity.e.g., megestrole
acetate.
 Removal of the keto function remove androgenic activity.

Male sex hormones
 Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone
(GnRH) = Gonadoliberin
stimulates release of
 Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)
(Stimulates Sertoli cells =>
promotes gametogenesis)
and
 Luteinising Hormone (LH) =
Interstitial Cell Stimulating Hormone
(ICSH)
which triggers production of
 Testosterone (T) (by Leydig cells)
which in turn negatively regulates
 Pituitary and Hypothalamus hormone
production

Sex Steroids  Female reproductive cycle  Second (= Secretory) phase:  Secretory phase constant (~ 14 days)  LH-stimulated ruptured follicle develops into Corpus luteum which secrets Progesterone  Progesterone (Pg) is responsible for the secretory phase: endometrium becomes suitable for implantation; mucus thickens  Thermogenic effects of Pg => body temperature increase 0.5º C  Without implantation: Pg secretion stops => menstruation is triggered  With implantation: continued Pg production which (via inhibition of LH and FSH prod.) blocks further ovulation  Chorion (“precursor” of placenta) secretes human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) which maintains endometrium lining throughout pregnancy (HCG -> see pregnancy test) 10
  • 12. ESTROGENS All produced from androgen precursors Three main endogenous estrogens:  Estradiol  Primary estrogen in humans  Breast development  Improving bone density  Growth of the uterus  Accelerating bone maturation  Development of the endometrium to support pregnancy  Promoting vaginal mucosal thickness and secretions  Increase HDL  Estrone  1/3 active than estradiol  Estriol  only during pregnancy (made by fetus) 12
  • 14. Sar of estrogens 14  Aromatic ring with C-3-OH is essential for activity.  Steroidal structures is not essential for activity.  The intensity of activity changesif route of administration changes, e.g.,for oral route: Estriol > estradiol > estrone.  For subcutaneous route: estradiol > estrone > estriol.  Alkylation of the aromatic ring decrease the activity.  The 17β-hydroxyl with constant distance from 3-OH is essential for activity.  The group between the two hydroxyl must be hydrophobic.  Unsaturation of ring B decreases the activity.  17α- and 16 position when modified enhance the activity. Example: mestranol.
  • 16.  Estradiol:  Estradiol is rapidaly oxidized in the liver to form estrone, which is ineffective.  Ethinyl estradiol:  15- 20 more potent than estradiol orally.  Adding a 17β-ethiny to estradiol blocks this oxidation and makes the compound orally active. 16
  • 17. Synthetic or non-steroidal estrogens  Diethylstilbesterol:  The trans form is the active one.  Advantages:  As active as Estradiol.  Longer duration of action.  Orally active  Cheap.  Disadvantages:  Increase the risk of uterine cancer.  Uses:  Treatment of prostate cancer. 17 OH HO
  • 18. ESTROGEN ANTAGONISTS  Tamoxifen  Antiestrogenic effects on mammary tissue  Weak estrogenic effects on bone and lipid metabolism  Clomiphene  Inhibits estrogen binding in the pituitary => prevention of negative feedback=> ovulation Clinical uses of anti-estrogens:  Breast cancer therapy (Tamoxifen)  Infertility (Clomiphen) 18
  • 19. progesterone  Progesterone  Inhibits rhythmic contractions of the myometrium  Not suitable for oral administration (rapid hepatic elimination) => stable derivatives:  Hydroxyprogesterone  Medroxyprogesterone 19
  • 20. Sar of progesterone  Steroidal nucleus essential for activity.  Have some androgenic activity.  Removal of the 19 CH3 increase activity.  Unsaturation of ring B or C increase the activity.e.g., megestrole acetate.  Removal of the keto function remove androgenic activity. 20

  • 23. Male sex hormones  Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH) = Gonadoliberin stimulates release of  Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) (Stimulates Sertoli cells => promotes gametogenesis) and  Luteinising Hormone (LH) = Interstitial Cell Stimulating Hormone (ICSH) which triggers production of  Testosterone (T) (by Leydig cells) which in turn negatively regulates  Pituitary and Hypothalamus hormone production 23
  • 26. androgens  Testosterone  Primary androgen in humans  Possesses androgenic and anabolic effects: Androgenic effects:  Growth and development of male sex organs  Important for (male) sex drive and performance  Development of secondary sexual characteristics  Important role in spermatogenesis Anabolic effects:  Development of muscle mass  Reverse catabolic or tissue-depleting processes  Dihydro-Testosterone  Active metabolite  Mediates most of testosterone actions CH3 OH O CH3 CH3 OH O CH3 H 26
