The objective of this study was to synthesize several new pregnane derivatives and evaluate them as antiandrogens, From the commercially available 16-dehhyropregnenolone acetate (7), two new steroidal compounds were synthesized: 17 beta -hydroxy-17 beta -methyl-16 beta -phenyl-D-homoandrosta-1,4,6-triene-3,20-dione (18) and 17(x; acetoxy-17 beta -methyl-16 beta -phenyl-D-homoandrosta-1,4,6-triene-3,20-dione , (19). The 5 alpha -reductase inhibitory effect of the new compounds 18 and 19 together with the previously synthesized intermediates 7, 8, 13, 16, and 17 was determined in three different models: gonadectomized hamster flank organs diameter size, incorporation of [1,2-C-14]sodium acetate into lipids in Rank organs and conversion of [H-3]testosterone (T) to [H-3]dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by Penicillium crustosum. The evaluation of these steroids was carried out with three different controls: one group was treated with vehicle, the second with T and the third group with T plus finasteride. The pharmacological results from this work demonstrated that T significantly increases the diameter of the pigmented spot on the Rank organs (p
