Synthesis and characterization of new aromatic esters based on 4,16-pregnadiene-6,20-dione skeleton

<p>Abstract</p> <p>A series of new aromatic esters based on 4,16-pregnadiene-6,20-dione skeleton, namely 3β-benzoyloxy-4,16-pregnadiene-6,20-dione and 3β-furoyloxy-4,16-pregnadiene- 6,20-dione, which may be good inhibitors for the 5α-reductase enzyme and show high antiandrogenic ac...
