- Introduction: Pregnenolone serves as the common precursor in the formation of the adrenocorticoids and other steroidhormones. This C21 steroid is converted via enzymatic oxidations and isomerization of the double bond to anumber of physiologically active C21 steroids, including the female sex hormone progesterone and theadrenocorticoids hydrocortisone (cortisol), corticosterone, and aldosterone. Oxidative cleavage of thetwo-carbon side chain of pregnenolone and subsequent enzymatic oxidations and isomerization lead to C19steroids, including the androgens testosterone and dihydrotestosterone. The final group of steroids, the C18female sex hormones, are derived from oxidative aromatization of the A ring of androgens to produce estrogens.
