Chemistry of Natural Compounds Aims and scope

The semicarbazone and isonicotinoylhydrazone of 5α-pregn-2-en-20-one, which was prepared from 3β-acetoxy-5α-pregn-16-en-20-one, were synthesized for the first time. The antituberculosis activity of these and semicarbazones and isonicotinoylhydrazones of saturated, unsaturated, and adamantane-modified ketosteroids synthesized by us earlier was studied in vitro experiments.
