A four-step synthesis of 3 beta-hydroxy-5 alpha-cholest-8(14)-en-15-one (I) from 7-dehydrocholesterol is described. This synthesis, which is efficient and suitable for kilogram scale work, was carried out in a 33% overall average yield (39% overall best yield). A major byproduct of the hydrolysis of 3 beta-benzoyloxy-14 alpha,15 alpha-epoxy-5 alpha-cholest-7-ene to I was found to be the ring C aromatic sterol 12-methyl-18-nor-5 alpha-cholesta-8,11,13-trien-3 beta-ol. Several other intermediates and byproducts of these reactions were also identified. All new sterols were characterized by 1H- and 13C-NMR.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of IL22RA1 in regulating lipid metabolism in the liver, linking it to conditions like NAFLD (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease).
- It shows that IL22RA1 is downregulated in unhealthy liver conditions, leading to increased fat accumulation and insulin resistance in liver-specific knockout mice.
- The research concludes that IL22RA1 helps maintain lipid balance in the liver, and its absence results in harmful lipid accumulation through a specific molecular pathway involving oxysterols.

Objectives: This manuscript addresses key pharmacokinetic issues in support of the development of a potent candidate lipid-lowering drug molecule, 16-dehydropregnenolone (DHP).
Methods: Liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) assay for simultaneous estimation of DHP and its metabolites, including 5-pregnene-3β-ol-16, 17-epoxi-20-one (M(1) ) was validated in male and female Sprague-Dawley rat plasma and applied to different studies. Pharmacokinetic studies of DHP after intravenous and oral administration were carried out to assess any gender effect.
