Abstract

The 7-keto-DHEA-acetate is converted to 7-keto-DHEA, a metabolite of DHEA, and similar to its metabolism. We studied the metabolite M3, M4, and M5 of 7-keto-DHEA-acetate. The estimated molecular weight of M3 and M4 was 304 which were supposed to have more 3 hydroxyl and/or ketone groups. We could know that M3 is the 7-OH-DHEA which has the hydroxyl groups on 3 and 7-carbon and a ketone group on 17-carbon. In case of M4, it is the 7-oxo- diol metabolite which has the hydroxyl groups on 3 and 17-carbon and a ketone group on 7-carbon. The M5 was supposed that the molecular weight is 320 and has the three hydroxyl groups on 3, 6, and 16 carbon and the ketone group on 17-carbon. After dosing, 7-OH-DHEA showed the maximum urine flow in human urine after 5 hr and decreased rapidly. But we could find it until 58 hr why is a higher remaining substance.
