Ovaries from female turbot (Scophthalmus maximus L.), a serial spawner, were incubated in vitro with 17-hydroxy[1,2,6,7-3H]progesterone or [7-3H(N)]pregnenolone (P5-3H) during the spawning season. Several metabolites comigrated on TLC and HPLC with known reference steroids and were identified after chemical reaction and crystallization. Incubation with P5-3H generated many 4-ene steroids, accounting for 55% of total radioactivity, indicating strong 3 beta-HSD activity. The major steroids produced by ovaries were testosterone, androstenedione, and 17,21-dihydroxy-4-pregnene-3,20-dione. In addition, 17,20 alpha-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one was also identified, while small quantities of 17,20 beta,21-trihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one (20 beta-S) (maximum 1.7% of the total radioactivity) were also synthesized. The identity of 20 beta-S was confirmed in incubates with nonlabeled 17-hydroxyprogesterone by mass spectrometry. Production of 17,20 beta-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one was not apparent.
在产卵季节,将连续产卵的雌性大菱鲆(Scophthalmus maximus L.)的卵巢与17-羟基[1,2,6,7-³H]孕酮或[7-³H(N)]孕烯醇酮(P5-³H)进行体外孵育。几种代谢产物在薄层色谱(TLC)和高效液相色谱(HPLC)上与已知的参考类固醇共迁移,并在化学反应和结晶后得以鉴定。用P5-³H孵育产生了许多4-烯类固醇,占总放射性的55%,表明具有很强的3β-羟基类固醇脱氢酶(3β-HSD)活性。卵巢产生的主要类固醇为睾酮、雄烯二酮和17,21-二羟基-4-孕烯-3,20-二酮。此外,还鉴定出了17,20α-二羟基-4-孕烯-3-酮,同时也合成了少量的17,20β,21-三羟基-4-孕烯-3-酮(20β-S)(最高占总放射性的1.7%)。通过质谱法在与未标记的17-羟基孕酮的孵育物中证实了20β-S的身份。17,20β-二羟基-4-孕烯-3-酮的产生并不明显。
