The biotransformation of androsterone (1), epiandrosterone (2), androstanedione (3) and DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) (4) by Penicillium lanosocoeruleum—a parasitic animal varieties not utilized in biotransformations up until now—were depicted. All the substrates were changed over in high return (70%–99%) into D ring δ-lactones. The oxidation of 1 delivered 3α-hydroxy-17a-oxa-D-homo-5α-androstan-17-one (5). The oxidation of 2 prompted 3β-hydroxy-17a-oxa-D-homo-5α-androstan-17-one (6). The biotransformation of 3 brought about the arrangement of 3α-hydroxy-17a-oxa-D-homo-5α-androstan-17-one (5) and 17a-oxa-D-homo-5α-androstan-3,17-dione (7). An examination of the change progress of the contemplated substrates as a component of time demonstrates that the Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase of this parasite doesn't acknowledge the 3β-hydroxy-5-ene usefulness of steroids. In this microorganism steroidal 3β-hydroxy-dehydrogenase (3β-HSD) was dynamic, and subsequently DHEA (4) was changed solely to testololactone (8). Aside from the watched oxidative changes, a reductive pathway was uncovered with the C-3 ketone being diminished to a C-3α-liquor. It is exhibited just because that the decrease of the 3-keto gathering of the steroid core can happen within the sight of a ring-D lactone usefulness
