Testosterone synthesis from pregnenolone can occur along two distinct metabolic pathways (Fig. 63.1). The names given to these two routes of metabolism refer to the position in the steroid molecule where an unsaturated bond is maintained. Thus, in the delta-4 pathway an unsaturated position is between C4 and C5 of ring A, whereas in the delta-5 pathway, the unsaturated position is between C5 and C6 of ring B. In the human testis, the delta-5 pathway is the predominant (but not exclusive) one used for the biosynthesis of testosterone.

Testosterone gel is effective transdermally, although a report on its use in the form of AA2500 (brand name), which releases 50 or 100 mg/day, points to an unusually high incidence of local sensitivity reactions it is not clear whether this is due to testosterone itself or to excipients absent from the placebo comparator (61).

Fig. 7. Changes in the contents of specific mRNAs and nuclear receptors in mouse kidney after exposure to testosterone. Female NCS mice were given a single intraperitoneal dose of 10 mg of testosterone at time zero. Thereafter, nuclear androgen receptors were measured, The specific mRNAs of three proteins were also assayed, namely for ornithine decarboxylase (- -), KAP (-0-) and /3-glucuronidase (- -). Redrawn from Catterall et al. [26],...

Oleic acid is the common name for (Z)-9-octadece-noic acid and is a nearly colorless liquid at room temperature with a melting point of 5-7°C. Oleic acid is practically insoluble in water but has been used as a solvent for oral delivery of hydrophobic drugs in soft gelatin capsules. Oleic acid is used to solubilize ritonavir in Norvir and Kaletra soft gelatin capsules (see section Microemulsion Oral Formulations ). Testosterone undecanoate is an ester prodrug of testosterone intended for oral administration in hormone replacement therapy, and is solubilized in oleic acid in 40 mg Restandol 40 mg soft gelatin capsules.

The utility of the systematic name of a compound lies in the information that it provides about the parent compound, the position of bond unsaturation, and the nature, position, and orientation of substituents. The trivial name, as the term suggests, conveys little or no information about the chemical origin and characteristics of a compound (e.g., cortisol, progesterone, and testosterone). The trivial and systematic names of some of the important steroid hormones are given in Table 51-2. 

Several en2yme defects will cause a deficiency of testosterone production during fetal development. These include 20a-hydroxylase (cholesterol 20,22-desmolase) deficiency, which prevents conversion of cholesterol to pregnenolone and results in congenital lipoid adrenal hyperplasia, so named because the adrenals are large and filled with lipoid...
