Syntheses and antiproliferative activity of some sulfated hydroximinosterols
摘要:
Four new sulfated steroidal compounds, sodium 3-hydroxy-6-hydroximinocholestane 3-sulfate (7a), sodium 3-hydroxy-6-hydroximinostigmastane 6-sulfate (7b), sodium 3-hydroxy-6-hydroximinocholest-4-ene 3-sulfate (10a), and sodium 6-hydroxy-3-hydroximinocholestane 6-sulfate (16) had been synthesized using cholesterol or stigmasterol as starting materials by different synthetic methods. The synthetic compounds were characterized by their analytical and spectral data, and their antiproliferative activity against MGC 7901 (human gastric carcinoma cell line), HeLa (human cervical carcinoma cell line), and SMMC 7404 (human liver carcinoma cell line) were investigated. The results showed that the compounds exhibited a remarkable cytotoxicity against HeLa tumor cells in vitro and 7a displayed a better cytotoxicity than cisplatin (a positive contrast).
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
Sialic acid derivatives represented by the following general formula:
wherein R1 represents a residue of a steroid compound excluding cholestane and cholestene residues, R2 represents hydrogen or methyl group, R3 represents a C1-C6 alkyl group and other, R4 represents hydrogen or acyl group, R5 represents a group of R15O— (R15 represents a C2-C7 acyl group and other), and X represents oxygen or sulfur atom, and their derivatives. These derivatives have activating effect on choline acetyltransferase activity in the chlonergic neurons, and are useful for preventive and therapeutic treatment of dementia, memory disorder, peripheral nervous disorder and so forth.
Steroidal thiosemicarbazones, semicarbazones and hydrazones have received extensive attention of scientists recently because they exhibit some biological activities such as antibacterial, antiviral and anticancer. Using different steroids as starting materials, through different chemical methods, 24 steroidal compounds with thiosemicarbazone, semicarbazone or hydrazone groups in their structures, were
