Formation of 5α steroids by biotranformation involving the 5α-reductase activity of Penicillium decumbens
摘要:
The biotransformation of a series of Delta(4)-3-ketosteroids by the fungus Penicillium decumbens ATCC 10436 has been investigated. Conversion to the 5 alpha-dihydrosteroid was observed for several substrates of the androstene and pregnene series: the reaction is tolerant of non-polar subdituents (Cl and CH3) at C-4 of the substrate, but does not occur in the presence of a 4-hydroxyl group, or with additional unsaturation at the Delta(1) or Delta(6) positions. A-nor-, B-nor-, 3-deoxy-, and 3,5-cycloandrostanes are not reduced, but 6-methylenetestosterone is converted to a 6-methylene-5 alpha-dihydro derivative. Several biotransformations are reported which involve oxidoreductase activity at C-3 and/or C-17, either concomitant or independent of Delta(4) reduction: the substrate specificity of the oxidoreductase processes has been examined and defined by the use of 3 alpha-hydroxy, 3 beta-hydroxy, 3-keto, and 17 beta-hydroxy-17-keto substituted steroids. In this way, the existence in P. decumbens of 3 beta-hydroxy-3-keto and 17 beta-hydroxy-17-keto oxidoreductases has been demonstrated.

3β-((dimethylphenylsilyl)oxy)-17-(Z)-ethylidene-6-methylene-5α-androstane (3a), and 3α-((dimethylphenylsilyl)oxy)-17-(Z)-ethylidene-6-methylene-5α-androstane (3b) have been prepared. The triplet−triplet excited-state energytransfer (TTET) that occurs from the C3 aryl “donor” group to the C17 ethylidene “acceptor” has been studied in detail at 10 mM steroid concentration.

The present invention relates to the modification of 3-beta-hydroxyandrost-4-ene-6,17-dione (“3-OHAT”) and its metabolites/derivatives at either the 3
rd
or 17
th
carbon or 3
rd
and 17
th
carbons with various ethers and/or esters and to the modification of 3-beta-hydroxyandrost-4-ene-6,17-dione (“3-OHAT”) and its metabolites/derivatives at carbon 6 with a methyl, methoxy, methylene, hydroxymethylene or acetoxy functional group to improve and increase the oral bioavailability and/or plasma half life and/or efficacy in mammals.
Novel analogues of Istaroxime, a potent inhibitor of Na+,K+-ATPase: Synthesis, structure–activity relationship and 3D-quantitative structure–activity relationship of derivatives at position 6 on the androstane scaffold
We report the synthesis and biological properties of novel analogues of Istaroxime acting as positive inotropic compounds through the inhibition of the Na+, K+-ATPase. We explored the chemical space around the position 6 of the steroidal scaffold by changing the functional groups at that position and maintaining a basic oximic chain in position 3. Some compounds showed inhibitory potencies of the Na+, K+-ATPase higher than Istaroxime and many of the compounds tested in vivo were safer than digoxin, the classic digitalis compound currently used for the treatment of congestive heart failure as inotropic agent. The 3D-QSAR analyses using comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) methods have been successfully applied to a set of 63 androstane derivatives as Na+,K+-ATPase inhibitors. The contour plots provide many useful insights into relationships between structural features and inhibitory potency. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Methods are described for effecting the molecular rearrangement of 3β-acetoxy-4aα-hydroxy-5β-methyl-A-homo-B-nor steroids into corresponding normal structures of the 6-methylene-5β-H series. NMR spectral data lead to the assignment of the α-configuration to the 4a-hydroxyl group present in the initial steroidal A-homo-B-nor types.
