Abstract: 172(3'-Pyrazolyl) and 17-(5'-isoxazolyl)androsta-4,16-dien-3-one have been found to be potent inhibitors for human testicular microsomal 17α-hydroxylase/C17,20-layse, which showed potential usage in the treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy(BPH) and prostatic cancer. In order to further investigate their structure activity relationship, some substituents were introduced at the 5'-position of pyrazole and 3'-position of isoxazole, and eleven derivatives were obtained. The structures of the compounds were confirmed by IR, 1H NMR, elemental analysis or MSmeasurements. Their pharmacological activities are under investigation.

Key words: Cytochrome P45017α, Benign prostatic hypertrophy, Prostatic cancer, Inhibitors
