Popis: 19-Nor-corticosterone (19-nor-B) was isolated from a pool of urine collected from Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats. Identity was established by comparison of chromatographic mobilities with standard 19-nor-B both as the free compound and diacetate derivative. Comparison of the gas chromatographic-mass spectra of the urinary product and standard 19-nor-B as the diacetate following isolation by high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) confirmed the identity of the urinary product to be 19-nor-B. This demonstration that 19-nor-B is a naturally occuring product in addition to 19-nor-deoxycorticosterone supports the concept of the existence of a biosynthetic pathway for the formation of the 19-nor-corticosteroids.
