摘要:
Four new 6E-hydroximinosteroids (1, 2a, 3 and 4) have been synthesized from the corresponding ketones, 2 beta,3 beta-dihydroxy-5 alpha-cholestan-6-one (5), 2 alpha,3 alpha-dihydroxy-5 alpha-cholestan-6-one (6), 2 beta,3 alpha-dihydroxy-5 alpha-cholestan-6-one (7) and 2 beta,3 alpha-dihydroxy-5 alpha-cholestan-6-one-disulfate (8). The cytotoxic activity of the steroidal oxirnes was evaluated against two prostate carcinoma cell lines (PC-3 and LNCaP) and compared with that of five polyhydroxylated sulfated analogs (8-12). Oxime 3 and trisulfated analog 11 were the most active compounds with IC50 values of 10.8 mu M (PC-3) and 7.9 mu M (LNCaP), respectively. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
