Abstract
One of the identified decomposition products formed during the anaerobic decomposition of prednisolone, is 17-deoxy-21-dehydroprednisolone. This product can only be detected when the decomposition of prednisolone takes place at about pH = 6 or lower pH values.
The Chromatographic properties, the isolation and the structure elucidation of 17-deoxy-21-dehydroprednisolone are given.
