Abstract
Guggulsterones E- and z-pregna-4,17(20)-diene-3,16-dione, which constitute some 2% of the gum-resin from Commiphora mukul, have obvious functionality suitable for elaboration into clinically useful steroidal drugs. In an effort to demonstrate this potential, guggulsterone mixture has been converted into 21-acetoxy-17α-hydroxy-16α-methylpregn-4-ene-3, 20-dione, which has been earlier transformed into the well-known corticosteroid dexamethasone (9α-fluoro-16α-methyl-11 β ,17 α ,21-trihydroxypregna-l,4-diene-3,20-dione).
