The progestin dienogest (17α-cyanomethyl-17β-hydroxy-estra-4,9-dien-3-one) was metabolized by the nitrile hydratase-containing microorganism Rhodococcus erythropolis. An enzymatic hydrolysis of the nitrile group at the 17α-side chain was intended to obtain novel derivatives and to test them for progesterone receptor affinity. In contrast to the rapid enzymatic hydrolysis of nonsteroidal nitriles, the nitrile group of dienogest was cleaved very slowly. The dominant reaction was an aromatization of ring A. After prolonged fermentation, the 17α-acetamido derivatives of estradiol and of 9(11)-dehydroestradiol were formed. Three of the metabolites were also prepared synthetically. They were tested for hormonal activity by assessing their binding to progesterone and estrogen receptors in vitro. Neither the aromatized 17α-acetamido derivatives nor the dienogest derivative 17α-acetamido-17β-hydroxy-estra-4,9-dien-3-one, which was prepared synthetically only, exhibited affinity for the progesterone receptor.

Urinary metabolites of the new progestagen STS 557 (17α-cyanomethyl-17-hydroxy-4,9-estradien-3-one) were isolated and characterized following oral administration of the 14α,15α-tritium labelled compound to dogs and rats. 17α-Cyanomethyl-11β,17-dihydroxy-4
