Abstract
PREVIOUS investigations on the nature of aqueous adrenal cortical extracts led to the isolation of potent fractions as assessed in the golden hamster maintenance test. A preliminary analysis of the crude fractions suggested the presence of nitrogen1–3, and on further separation the potent mixtures yielded substances which according to our criteria possessed steroidal properties besides containing nitrogen. The course of the separation is outlined in Table 1.
