The 2 alpha-hydroxy and 2 beta-hydroxy derivatives of aldosterone have been synthesized chemically from aldosterone, after the earlier identification of 2 alpha-hydroxylated metabolites formed in liver. Both 2 alpha- and 2 beta-hydroxyaldosterone are potent mineralocorticoids, with activities on the order of 1/10 that of aldosterone on the basis of a rat bioassay.
