Bm. Shabsoug, Hydrazones of 3-hydroxy-5-androsten-17-one as protective synthons for indirect iodination of ketosteroids, I J HET CHE, 10(4), 2001, pp. 307-308
Th ree hydrazones of the ketosteroid dehydroepiandrosterone have been synth
esized by the condensation of this hormone with three aryl acid hydrazides:
Once these derivatives become radioiodinated then they could be used in th
e development of both qualitative and quantitative analysis of this ketoste
roid in plasma and urine samples.
