Resource description
Project Title: Synthesis of recently reported phase II metabolites for their inclusion in routine doping control analysis
Researchers: Dr. O. Pozo, Dr. J. Segura, Dr. R. Ventura
Institution: IMIM - Hospital del Mar Medical Research Institute, Spain
Year accepted: 2012
Summary: The goals of this project are:
- to synthesize at a larger scale several phase II metabolites previously identified as useful for the doping control field (6β-hydroxyandrosterone glucuronide, 6β-hydroxyetiocholanolone glucuronide, epiboldenone sulphate, 17α-methyl-5βandrostane-3α,17β-diol 3α-sulphate, 17β-methyl-5β-androstane-3α,17α-diol 3α-sulphate and 17βmethyl-5α-androstane-3α,17α-diol 3α-sulphate),
- to fully characterize them by well established techniques (NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry),
- to study their stability and
- to develop analytical approaches to quantify conjugated metabolites of testosterone (6βhydroxyandrosterone glucuronide, 6β-hydroxyetiocholanolone glucuronide). The synthetized standards will be distributed among WADA accredited laboratories.
