Steroselective synthesis of some steroidal oxazolines, as novel potential inhibitors of 17α-hydroxylase-C17,20-lyase
摘要:
17 beta-Oxazolinyl steroids 7a-g and 8a-g were synthesized. The Lewis acid-catalysed reactions of (20R)-3 beta-acetoxy-21-azidomethyl-20-hydroxypregn-5-ene with substituted aromatic aldehydes led to the formation of 3 beta-acetoxyandrost-5-enes substituted in position 17 beta with oxazolinyl residues (7a-g). Oppenauer oxidation of the 3 beta-hydroxy-exo-heterocyclic steroids yielded the corresponding Delta(4)-3-ketosteroids. The inhibitory effects (IC50) of both 3-hydroxy compounds 7a-g and their Delta(4)-3-keto counterparts 8a-g on rat testicular C-17,C-20-lyase were investigated with an in vitro radioligand incubation technique. The 3-chlorophenyl- (8d), and the 4-bromophenyl-17 beta-(2-oxazolin-5-yl)androst-4-en-3-one derivatives(8f) were found to be modest inhibitors (IC50=4.8 and 5.0 mu M, respectively).
