Synthesis and cytotoxic analysis of some disodium 3β,6β-dihydroxysterol disulfates
摘要:
Disodium 3 beta,6 beta-dihydroxy-5 alpha-cholestane disulfate (1) was synthesized in 4 steps with a high overall yield from cholesterol. First, cholesterol (4a) was converted to cholest-4-en-3,6-dione (5a) via oxidation with pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) and then 5a was reduced by NaBH4 in the presence of NiCl2 to produce cholest-3 beta,6 beta-diol (6a). The reaction of 6a with the triethylamine-sulfur trioxide complex generated diammonium 3 beta,6 beta-dihydroxy-5 alpha-cholestane disulfate (7a) and the treatment of 7a by cation exchange resin 732 (sodium form)(Na+) yielded the target steroid 1. Disodium 24-ethyl-3 beta,6 beta-dihydroxycholest-22-ene disulfate (2) and disodium 24-ethyl-3 beta,6 beta-dihydroxycholestane disulfate (3) were synthesized using a similar method. The cytotoxicity of these compounds against Sk-Hep-1 (human liver carcinoma cell line), H-292 (human lung carcinoma cell line), PC-3 (human prostate carcinoma cell line) and Hey-1B (human ovarian carcinoma cell line) cells was investigated. Our results indicate that presence of a cholesterol-type side chain at position 17 is necessary for their biological activity. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

side chain at position 17 is required for the biological activity of the compounds as we previously confirmed, elimination of the 4,5-double bond augmented the cytotoxicactivity for the steroidal oximes. In addition, the presence of a hydroxy on 3- or 6-position of the steroidal nucleus resulted in a remarkable increase of cytotoxicactivity. Our findings present more evidence showing the relationship
