## Abstract Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2A6 and __CYP2E1__ are enzymes with a high ability to activate a nitrosamine, 4‐(methylnitrosamino)‐1‐(3‐pyridyl)‐1‐butanone (NNK), to its potent and ultimate carcinogens. The polymorphic __CYP2A6__ and __CYP2E1__ have been implicated in increased susceptibility to

✦ Synopsis
The structure and stereochemistry of nine steroid metabolites isolated in quantities ranging from 0.15 to 1.8 mg were determined using a variety of NMR techniques, including heteronuclear multiple bond correlation (HMBC) using broadband adiabatic 13 C pulses and phase-sensitive data presentation. Testosterone, androstenedione and progesterone were oxidized with housefly cytochrome P450 6A1 enzyme reconstituted in vitro with housefly NADPH cytochrome P450 reductase and cytochrome b 5 . NMR analysis in CD 3 OD using a modified HMBC sequence as well as 2D heteronuclear single quantum correlation (HSQC), COSY and nuclear Overhauser and exchange spectroscopy (NOESY), combined with a detailed analysis of J couplings showed that hydroxylation occurs exclusively on the b-face of the steroids, at positions 2, 12, and 15.
