Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the production of androstadienedione, a key intermediate of steroid medicine, by transforming phytosterols with microorganisms, and belongs to the technical field of fermentation in bioengineering. Background technique
[0002] In 1949, Hench et al. found that cortisone had outstanding curative effect on rheumatoid arthritis, and confirmed that both cortisone and hydrocortisone belonged to adrenal cortex hormones, making steroid corticosteroids a drug with high curative effect and high economic value. Because the content of hormones in animals is extremely low, it cannot be prepared in large quantities by directly extracting from animal raw materials. At present, semi-synthetic methods are mostly used, that is, raw materials with steroidal nucleus cyclopentane polyhydrophenanthrene are obtained from animals and plants, and then prepared by enzymatic transformation and chemical transformation. Sterols, the starting raw material...
