Benzylidine pregnenolones and their oximes as potential anticancer agents: Synthesis and biological evaluation
摘要:
The present study reveals the anticancer activity of benzylidine pregnenolones and their oxime derivatives. The synthesis of the analogs of both series is very simple and involves aldol condensation in the first step followed by nucleophillic addition of hydroxylamine across carbonyl in the second step. Quantitative yields of more than 80% are obtained in both the steps. All the compounds were tested for their cytotoxic activities against a panel of six human cancer cell lines. Amongst all the compounds of both the series screened for their cytotoxic actvity, compound 3e, 3f and 4e are very potent especially against HCT-15 and MCF-7 cancer cell lines. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc.

Taking pregnenolone as the starting material, two series of pyrazolinyl and pyrazolyl pregnenolones were synthesized through different routes. The synthesis of the analogs of both series is multistep and proceeds in good overall yields. While the key step in the synthesis of pyrazolinyl pregnenolones is the heterocyclization of benzylidine derivatives (3) in presence of hydrazine hydrate, it is the

In current study, we synthesized chalcone derivatives (13a-c) via base-catalyzed Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction. We further treated diamino compounds with synthesized chalcones to produce 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-one (18a-c), 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-thione (19a-c) and 2-aminopyrimidine (20a-c) derivatives of pregnenolone by cyclization reaction. Cell viability test of synthesized steroidal

An efficient and facile synthesis of 17-chalconyl derivatives of pregnenolone and their evaluation as antimicrobial agents against various microbial strains is reported. The scheme involves the transformation of the starting pregnenolone acetate into pregnenolone, conversion of pregnenolone to the corresponding chalcone derivatives. The compounds 3a-3j showed significant antimicrobial activity against all microbial strains used for testing. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
