Synthesis, characterization and biological evaluation of some 16E-arylidene androstane derivatives as potential anticancer agents
摘要:
A series of new 16E-arylidene androstane derivatives were synthesized and characterized. The new compounds were screened for their anticancer activities against the human cancer cell lines SW480, A549, HepG2 and HeLa in vitro using the MTT assay. The results of the in vitro study showed that a number of compounds have shown IC(50) values lower than 20 mu M against the four cancer cell lines. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
Abstract A facile synthesis of novel dispiro oxindole-pyrrolothiazole-androsterone hybrid heterocycles has been achieved through 1,3-dipolarcycloaddition. The reaction proceeds stereo- and regioselectively, affording a single isomer of the product in excellent yields with the formation of two C–C and one C–N bonds and creation of four new contiguous stereocenters in one step. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylide derived in situ from the reaction of acenaphthylene-1,2-dione and 1,3-thiazolane-4-carboxylic acid to various exocyclic dipolarophiles synthesized from trans-androsterone and trans-dehydroandrosterone afforded a library of novel spiro[5'.2 '']acenaphthylene-1 ''-one-spiro[16.6']-(7'-aryl)-tetrahydro-1H-pyrrolo [1,2-c][1,3]thiazolo-trans-androsterone/dehydroandrosterone hybrid heterocycles respectively. These reactions proceeded stereo-specifically affording a single isomer of the 16-spiro steroids in excellent yields. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
