In order to study the metabolism of 18-OH-11-deoxycorticosterone, the mineralocorticoid hormone responsible for hypertension in rats and humans, we have synthesized the following dihydrogenated and tetrahydrogenated reference derivatives: 18,21-dihydroxy-5alpha-pregnane-3,20-dione, 18,21-dihydroxy-5beta-pregnane-3,20-dione, 3alpha,18,21-trihydroxy-5alpha-pregnan-20-one (I), 3beta,18,21-trihydroxy-5alpha-pregnan-20-one (II), 3alpha,18,21-trihydroxy-5beta-pregnan-20-one (III) and 3beta,18,21-trihydroxy-5beta-pregnan-20-one (IV). A complete separation of these compounds from each other and from tetrahydrocorticosterone isomers has been realized only by the association of thin-layer chromatography and gas-liquid chromatography on high-efficiency glass capillary columns. Characterization by gas-liquid chromatography-mas spectrometry is described. The stereoisomer distribution in rats is: adrenals of adult males and females (compounds I and II in the ratio 4:1); adrenals of 23-day-old males and females (compounds I, II and III, 11:11:3); liver of females (compound I and traces of III); and the liver of adult male (compounds II, III and IV, 4.5:4.5:1).
