Synthesis and GABAA receptor activity of A-homo analogues of neuroactive steroids
摘要:
A procedure is described for the preparation of A-homo-5-pregnenes via an acid catalyzed rearrangement of cyclopropylcarbinols assisted by microwave irradiation. 3 alpha-Hydroxy and 4 alpha-hydroxy-A-homo-5-pregnen-20-one, analogues of the neuroactive steroid allopregnanolone, were obtained by means of a regioselective epoxidation of a double bond in the expanded A-ring, using a fructose-derived chiral ketone as catalyst and oxone as oxidant. Although both these compounds were marginally active in inhibiting TBPS binding to GABA(A) receptors, 3 beta-hydroxy-A-homo-5-pregnen-20-one was almost as active as allopregnanolone. Reduction of the double bond of the latter compound resulted in a ten fold loss of activity. (c) 2010 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
