^Rheumatism. Rolls House Publishing Company. 1953. Artisone is a steroid of the 21-carbon type. It is 5-pregnene 3 beta, 21-dial-20-one 21 acetate.4 It is also known as 21-acetoxy-pregnenolone, acetoxanon, prebediolone acetate. It is an intermediate product in the synthesis of desoxycorticosterone acetate and is prepared by reacting 5,6-pregnene-3-ol-20-one with bromine and chloroform and treating the obtained oily bromide with potassium I acetate in alcohol.
