A classically versatile steroid intermediate, 9α-hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione (9α-OH-AD), can be obtained by phytosterol (PS) bioconversion usingMycobacterium. In this study, a cyclodextrin-resting cell reaction system with a high concentration of PS (50 g L?1) was used to produce 9α-OH-AD. However, the inhibitory effect of metabolic intermediates is a key factor limiting production efficiency. After the separation and identification of a series of metabolic intermediates, it was found that 4-ene-3-keto steroids, which are the first metabolites of sterol side-chain degradation, accumulated at the beginning of the bioprocess and had a remarkable inhibitory effect on bioconversion. The bioconversion rate was greatly improved when 5 g L?1of macroporous adsorbent resin D101 was added to the reaction system in the initial phase. A certain amount of resin acted as a reservoir to remove the inhibitory intermediatein situand facilitated the bioconversion process, and the 9α-OH-AD space-time yield increased to 8.51 g L?1d?1, which was 23.15% higher than that without resin addition (6.91 g L?1d?1) after 72 h bioconversion. In summary, we identified an inhibitory intermediate that limits the bioconversion rate and provided a solution based on resin adsorption for improving 9α-OH-AD production efficiency in a commercial-scale process.

9α-Hydroxy-4-androstene-3,17-dione (9-OH-AD) is one of the significant intermediates for the preparation of β-methasone, dexamethasone, and other steroids. In general, the key enzyme that enables the biotransformation of 4-androstene-3,17-dione (AD) to 9-OH-AD is 3-phytosterone-9α-hydroxylase (KSH), which consists of two components: a terminal oxygenase (KshA) and ferredoxin reductase (KshB). The reaction is carried out with the concomitant oxidation of NADH to NAD+. In this study, the more efficient 3-phytosterone-9α-hydroxylase oxygenase (KshC) from the Mycobacterium sp. strain VKM Ac-1817D was confirmed and compared with reported KshA. To evaluate the function of KshC on the bioconversion of AD to 9-OH-AD, the characterization of KshC and the compounded system of KshB, KshC, and NADH was constructed. The optimum ratio of KSH oxygenase to reductase content was 1.5:1. An NADH regeneration system was designed by introducing a formate dehydrogenase, further confirming that a more economical process for biological transformation from AD to 9-OH-AD was established. A total of 7.78 g of 9-OH-AD per liter was achieved through a fed-batch process with a 92.11% conversion rate (mol/mol). This enzyme-mediated hydroxylation method provides an environmentally friendly and economical strategy for the production of 9-OH-AD.

This invention relates generally to methods for preparing certain bile acids from non-mammalian sourced starting materials as well as to synthetic bile acids and compositions comprising such acids wherein the acids are characterized by a different C14 population than naturally occurring bile acids as well as being free from any mammalian pathogens. This invention is also directed to the synthesis of intermediates useful in the synthesis of such bile acids. Accordingly, the C ring of the steroidal scaffold is oxidized to provide a synthetic route and intermediates to DCA. This invention also provides synthetic methods for preparing deoxycholic acid or a salt thereof starting from aromatic steroids such as estrogen, equilenin, and derivatives thereof. This invention is also directed to intermediates such as 12-oxo or delta-9,11-ene steroids as well as novel processes for their preparation. In preferred embodiments, bile acids are provided herein which have substituents on the B-ring and/or D-ring side chain and optionally on the hydroxy group of the A-ring.

The conversion pathway of testosterone to androst-4-ene-3,17-dione and 9α-hydroxy androstane metabolites, 9α-hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17- dione and 9α,17β-dihydroxyandrost-4-en-3-one was proposed for the ring degradation in steroids by a minimal liquid medium (NMMP)-dispersed Rhodococcus equi ATCC 14887. The microorganism produced 9α-hydroxy androstane metabolites from testosterone at high conversion ratio without the addition of ring degradation inhibitory agents. Several NMMP-based media showed the similar effect on the microbial transformation, in which the respective molar yields of 9α-hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione and 9α,17β-dihydroxyandrost-4-en-3-one were approx. 3 to 47% and approx. 3 to 11%, respectively, whereas nutrient broth, a rich medium, basically showed no accumulation. On the basis of this evidence, magnesium sulfate and casamino acids among the components of NMMP were found to compromise the determinant for the production of the 9α-hydroxy androstane metabolites without appreciable decomposition of the steroid ring system.

A preparative method of 9α-hydroxylation of Δ5-3β-hydroxysteroids using the fungi of Circinella sp.IOKh-1220 not capable of modifying the ring A has been developed.It is established that the yields of the main and the side products greatly depend on the transformation conditions, mycelium age, and the structure of the steroid substrate.Under the optimal transformation conditions novel 9α-hydroxysubstituted derivatives of androstenolone, pregnenolone, 16-dehydro-16α,17α-epoxy-, and 16α-methoxypregnenolone have been obtained in 36-80percent yields. - Key words: hydroxylation, Δ5-3β-hydroxysteroids, Δ5-3β,9α-dihydroxysteroids, Circinella sp.

9α-Hydroxylation of Δ5-3β-hydroxysteroids (of androstane, pregnane, 24-nor- and 21,24-bisnorcholane groups) was carried out by a Rhodococcus sp., isolated from a petroleum-containing soil sample.A large number of the investigated steroids was transformed into 9α-hydroxy-Δ4-3-ketones in satisfactory yields (50 - 90percent) at high initial concentrations of the substrates (0.5 - 5.0 g/L).The influence of some structural features of the steroid molecule on the progress and effectiveness of the microbial transformation was also shown.

A mutant of the potent sterol degrader Mycobacterium fortuitum (ATCC 6842) has been isolated which is defective in its ability to degrade both the steroid nucleus and sterol side-chains that are branched at the 24-position.Bioconversions of phytosterol mixtures by this mutant resulted in the accumulation of the novel 24-oxo intermediates 9-hydroxy-27-nor-4-cholestene-3,24-dione (II) and 9-hydroxy-26,27-dinor-4-cholestene-3,24-dione (III).Under the same conditions, cholesterol is degraded mainly to 9-hydroxy-4-androstene-3,17-dione (I) by this organism.
