Using cholesterol, β-sitosterol, dehydroisoandrosterone and pregnenolone as starting materials, a series of 6-
hydroximino analogs of ring B abeo-sterols were synthesized and characterized. The antiproliferative activity of analogs
was evaluated against SGC 7901 (human gastric carcinoma), HeLa (human cervical carcinoma) and Bel 7404 (human
liver carcinoma) cells. The results showed that the presence of a alkyl side chain was very important for their cytotoxicity.
However, the presence of 6-hydroximino cannot increase the cytotoxicity of compounds compared with 6-hydroxy group.
The information obtained from the studies may be useful for the design of novel chemotherapeutic drugs.

孕烯醇酮为起始原料,合成并表征了一系列环B断裂甾体的6-羟亚
氨类似物。评估了这些类似物对SGC 7901(人胃癌)、HeLa(人宫颈癌)和Bel 7404(人肝癌)细胞的抗增殖活性。结果显示,烷基侧链的存在对其细胞毒性至关重要。然而,与6-羟基相比,6-羟亚
氨并不能提高化合物的细胞毒性。这些研究获得的信息可能对设计新型化疗药物有所帮助。
