TL;DR: The continuous interest in the field of oxasteroids mainly arises from the fascinating aspects associated with their peculiar stereochemical features and their promising and sometimes unexpected biological activities.
Abstract: The continuous interest in the field of oxasteroids mainly arises from the fascinating aspects associated with their peculiar stereochemical features and their promising and sometimes unexpected biological activities. The recent development in the partial and total syntheses of oxasteroids are herein described.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of (±)-13β, 17α-diethyl-17β-hydroxygon-4-en-3-one were compared with resolved samples of the component enantiomers.
Abstract: Various biological effects of (±)-13β-ethyl-17β-hydroxygon-4-en-3-one, (±)-13β-ethyl-17α-ethynyl-17β-hydroxygon-4-en-3-one, and (±)-13β, 17α-diethyl-17β-hydroxygon-4-en-3-one were compared with resolved samples of the component enantiomers. The data were commensurate with the hypothesis that biological activity resides in the enantiomers possessing absolute configurations corresponding to those of the natural steroid hormones.

TL;DR: The total synthesis of a series of racemic C-18 functionalized steroids was carried out in a search for novel estrogen-and/or progestin-receptor agonists or antagonists, which showed little activity in the Clauberg and anti-Clauberg assays.
Abstract: The total synthesis of a series of racemic C-18 functionalized steroids was carried out in a search for novel estrogen-and/or progestin-receptor agonists or antagonists. The target compound 3,18-dihydroxyestra-1,3,5(10)-triene (2), 13-(2-oxopropyl)gona-4-en-3-one (3), 13-(1-hydroxy-1-prop-2-ynyl)gona-4-en-3-one (4a and 4b) and 13-(1-acetoxy-2-oxo-1-propyl)gona-4-en-3-one (5) are position isomers of the highly biologically active estradiol, progesterone, norethindrone, and 17-acetoxyprogesterone, respectively. Nevertheless the synthetic C-18 functionalized steroids 3-5 showed little activity in the Clauberg and anti-Clauberg assays. Compound 2 showed no antagonism in the postcoital assay despite the fact that it exhibited weak but measurable in vitro receptor-binding activity.
