Abstract
A substituted aldosterone of the formula: ##STR1## wherein either one of R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 is hydrogen and the other is --S(CH.sub.2).sub.m COR.sup.3 or --OCO(CH.sub.2).sub.n COR.sup.3, provided that when R.sup.1 is hydrogen, R.sup.2 is --S(CH.sub.2).sub.m COR.sup.3 or --OCO(CH.sub.2).sub.n COR.sup.3 and when R.sup.2 is hydrogen, R.sup.1 is --S(CH.sub.2).sub.m COR.sup.3 ; m being an integer from 1 to 3, n being an integer from 1 to 5 and R.sup.3 being hydroxyl, lower alkoxy or a residue of tyramine, tyrosine lower alkyl ester, histamine, histidine, 7-aminoheptanoyltyrosine lower alkyl ester or .beta.-D-galactosidase as optionally iodinated, or its (18-20)-acetal 20,21-ketonide, which is useful as the reagent in determination of aldosterones by radioimmunoassay or enzyme immunoassay.
