Removal of the ketone at the C3 position can dramatically decrease AR agonist activity but render the steroid into an androgen prohormone. Examples: ethylestrenol, bolenol, desoxymethyltestosterone. Aromatization of the A ring abolishes AR affinity and produces estrogenicity.
Sterols are a subgroup of steroids with a hydroxyl group at the 3-position of the A-ring. [10] They are amphipathic lipids synthesized from acetyl-coenzyme A via the HMG-CoA reductase pathway. The overall molecule is quite flat. The hydroxyl group on the A ring is polar. The rest of the aliphatic chain is non-polar.
Major secosteroid subclasses are defined by the steroid carbon atoms where this scission has taken place. For instance, the prototypical secosteroid cholecalciferol, vitamin D 3 (shown), is in the 9,10-secosteroid subclass and derives from the cleavage of carbon atoms C-9 and C-10 of the steroid B-ring; 5,6-secosteroids and 13,14-steroids are ...
Steroid ring system. This is a list of androgens/anabolic steroids (AAS) or testosterone derivatives. Esters are mostly not included in this list; for esters, see here instead. The major classes of testosterone derivatives include the following (as well as combinations thereof):
A secosteroid (/ ˈ s ɛ k oʊ ˌ s t ɛ r ɔɪ d /) is a type of steroid with a "broken" ring. The word secosteroid derives from the Latin verb secare meaning "to cut", [2]: 241 and 'steroid'. Secosteroids are described as a subclass of steroids under the IUPAC nomenclature. [1]: §3S-1 [3] Some sources instead describe them as compounds ...

Oxandrolone is based on the tetracyclic steroid framework, which consists of three cyclohexane rings (A, B, and C) and one cyclopentane ring (D). This is a common structure shared by all steroids. [41] The oxygen atom in the lactone bridge replaces a carbon atom at position 2 of the steroid nucleus, classifying oxandrolone as an 2-oxa-steroid.
