abstract：:Glucocorticoids are well-recognized modulators of immunocytes and osteoblasts via specific receptor-mediated mechanisms. We have evaluated the in vitro effect of interleukin 2 (IL-2) on the expression of glucocorticoid receptors (GRs) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) obtained from healthy donors and osteo...

abstract：:Steroidal nucleoside analogs were synthesized starting from testosterone. By reduction of the oxime of 17 beta-hydroxy-androst-4-en-3-one (testosterone), a mixture of the two amino epimers of C-3 were obtained. The 3 alpha-amino-androst-4-en-17 beta-ol was crystallized in 73% yield and coupled with 5-amino-4,6-dichlor...
