Synthesis and antimicrobial evaluation of water-soluble, dendritic derivatives of epimeric 5α-cholestan-3-amines and 5α-cholestan-3-yl aminoethanoates
摘要:
To examine the effect of negatively charged steroidal amphiphiles on antimicrobial activity, two pairs of epimeric, dendritic tricarboxylato amphiphiles -4-(2-carboxyethyl)-4-[3-(5 alpha-cholestan-3-yl)ureido]heptanedioic acid (1) and 4-(2-carboxyethyl)-4-[3-(5 alpha-cholestan-3-yloxycarbonylmethyl)ureido]heptanedioic acid (2) - were synthesized. Abroad antimicrobial screen of 11 microbes revealed that these amphiphiles only showed good activity against a methicillin -resistant isolate of Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and modest activity against an unrelated strain of S aureus The best activity a minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 27 mu M, was found for the 3 beta epimer of 1 against MRSA.

The cholestanol (5α-cholestan-3β-ol) esters of amino acids were synthesized with an interest for their possible biochemical activities. The cholestanol esters of glycine, l-alanine, β-alanine, l-leucine and l-aspartic acid were synthesized by a direct fusion of the two components under the passing of hydrogen chloride through the reactants. That of glutamic acid was prepared by using quinoline hydrochloride as a solvent. From the condensation product of aspartic acid and cholestanol, mono- and di-ester were isolated. The monocholestanol ester of aspartic acid was also synthesized by the Gabriel process.
