A complete dynamic analysis of cytochrome P-450(C-17)-catalysed androgen biosynthesis from a single dose of progesterone and 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone in a double-label double-substrate experiment was performed in order to elucidate the controversial intermediacy of 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone. Label distribution within the steroid fractions as well as in the membrane and buffer compartments yields direct evidence that the endogenously formed 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone (which is in an 'intermediate state') accumulates to a higher degree in microsomal membranes than does the exogenously added 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone (which is in a 'substrate state') under certain conditions. It is also demonstrated that endogenously formed 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone may partly leave the membrane compartment (in terms of a 'leakage' or 'overflow' phenomenon) and is then able to equilibrate with the pool of exogenously added 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone. Since only the label distribution in the membrane-associated (but not always in the aqueous) 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone pool corresponds to the label distribution in the androgen fraction, it is concluded that only the membrane-associated 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone pool is directly accessible to cytochrome P-450(C-17)-catalysed conversion into androgens.
