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.

摘要:
The synthesis of methyl 11 alpha-azido-3 alpha,7 alpha-diacetoxy-12-oxo-5 beta-cholan-24-oate, methyl 11 beta-azido-3 alpha,7 alpha-diacetoxy-12-oxo-5 beta-cholan-24-oate and methyl 11 alpha-amino-3 alpha,7 alpha-diacetoxy-12-oxo-5 beta-cholan-24-oate have been achieved. Mechanistic aspects for the decomposition of steroidal azidoketones to its enamines are discussed. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
N-bis[2-(2-pyridyl)ethyl]amino structure (RPY2) are useful tridentate ligands for copper(I) ions, which can bind and activate oxygen from the atmosphere. For diastereoselective and enantioselective oxidation reactions, hitherto unknown chiral ligands possessing tripodal structures have been synthesized starting from homochiral steroids.
