A short and efficient synthesis, based on a one-step double elimination, of a key intermediate in the synthesis of various glucocorticosteroids has been developed. This method can be carried out on large scale for further industrial applications. The synthesis allowed us to identify a novel prednisolone derivative 10 and its anti-inflammatory activity was determined in an in vivo model of inflammation. In order to understand the regioselectivity of the double elimination under various conditions, mechanistic studies were undertaken and confirmed the experimental results. We also propose a mechanism for the formation of the new steroid 10 studied by molecular modeling.

The conversion of pregna-4,9(11)-diene-17α,21-diol-3,20-dione 21-acetate (I) and 17,21-diacetate (VI) by Nocardioides simplex VKM Ac-2033D was studied. The major metabolites formed from I were identified as pregna-1,4,9(11)-triene-17α,21-diol-3,20-dione 21-acetate (II) and pregna-1,4,9(11)-triene-17α,21-diol-3,20-dione (IV). Pregna-4,9(11)-diene-17α,21-diol-3,20-dione (III) and pregna-1,4,9(11)-triene-17α,20β,21-triol-3-one (V) were formed in minorities. Biotransformation products formed from VI were pregna-1,4,9(11)-triene-17α,21-diol-3,20-dione 17,21-diacetate (VII), pregna-1,4,9(11)-triene-17α,21-diol-3,20-dione 21-acetate (II), pregna-1,4,9(11)-triene-17α,21-diol-3,20-dione (IV), pregna-1,4,9(11)-triene-17α,21-diol-3,20-dione 17-acetate (VIII), pregna-1,4,9(11)-triene-17α,20β,21-triol-3-one (V). The conversion pathways were proposed including 1(2)-dehydrogenation, deacetylation, 20β-reduction and non-enzymatic migration of acyl group from position 17 to 21. The conditions providing predominant accumulation of pregna-1,4,9(11)-triene-17α,21-diol-3,20-dione 21-acetate (II) from I and pregna-1,4,9(11)-triene-17α,21-diol-3,20-dione 17-acetate (VIII) from VI in a short-term biotransformation were determined.
