Continuing research based on the meiosis activation properties of the endogenous sterol FF-MAS is reported. The synthesis and SAR of 16- and 26-substituted sterols are described, utilising diosgenin as starting material. Selected sterols were tested for their ability to induce oocyte maturation in hypoxanthine arrested mouse oocytes in vitro.
