Synthesis and Biological Activity Of Unsymmetrical Bis-Steroidal Pyrazines Related to the Cytotoxic Marine Natural Product Cephalostatin 1
摘要:
A mild, high-yielding synthesis of symmetrical steroidal pyrazines was achieved from the dimerization of 2-amino-3-ketosteroids, which were produced in situ from the triphenylphosphine-water reduction of the corresponding alpha-azido ketone. 2-Azidocholestan-3-one gave the dimeric steroidal pyrazine very cleanly, and two known dimeric pyrazines based on androstanone were also made using this methodology. Both C-2-symmetric geometric isomers of the dimeric steroidal pyrazine derived from cholestane were prepared by reaction of 2,3-diaminocholestane with cholestane-2,3-dione. A route to unsymmetrical bis-steroidal pyrazines was based on the observation that alpha-acetoxy ketones react with alpha-amino oximes directly with no need for oxidation of intermediate dihydropyrazines. Heating either 2 beta,17 beta-dihydroxyandrostan-3-one diacetate or 2 beta,17 beta-dihydroxyhecogenin-3-one diacetate with 2-amino-3-methoxyiminocholestane in toluene at 145 degrees C gave the corresponding unsymmetrical pyrazine in moderate yield. Five of the steroidal pyrazines were evaluated in the National Cancer Institute's new in vitro, disease-oriented antitumor screen, but none showed sufficient activity to warrant in vivo investigation.

The addition of dichlorocarbene to enol acetates of cyclicketones can be carried out efficiently in many cases using the neutral trihalomethyl phenyl mercury reagents. Since enol acetates of definite structures are readily prepared, the method provides a convenient first step to a ring enlargement sequence which can be carried out under basic conditions.
Absolute rates of bromination were measured for two series of derivatives of steroidal ketones 3, enolacetates 1 and enol methyl ether 2. Axial substituents exhibited a large effect on rates, which increased by 15,000 fold on going from (X=CH3; Y=CN) to (X=Y=H). From the bromide ion effect it was concluded that the first step (formation of an intermediate bromonium ion) was reversible and that the
测量了甾族酮3的两个系列衍生物,烯醇乙酸酯1和烯醇甲基醚2的溴化绝对速率。轴向取代基对速率表现出很大的影响,从(X = CH 3; Y = CN)变为(X = Y = H)时,轴向取代基增加了15,000倍。从溴离子效应可以得出结论,第一步(中间体溴离子的形成)是可逆的,并且第二步(卤代酮4或5或卤代缩醛8或9的形成)与第一步相比较慢。推断该中间体是高度不对称的溴离子,而不是纯的氧碳鎓离子。
