Structure-activity relationships of four 11-hydroxyestrones isomeric at the C-9 and C-11 positions
摘要:
The synthesis of 11 alpha-hydroxyestrone, 11 alpha-hydroxy-9 beta-estrone, and 11 beta-hydroxy-9 beta-estrone are presented. The reduction of 11-keto-9 beta-estrone 17-ethyleneketal by sodium in ethanol or sodium borohydride resulted in 11-hydroxy-9 beta-estrones. The 11-hydroxyl group configurations were opposite to expectations: sodium in boiling ethanol afforded the axial 11 beta-hydroxy-9 beta-estrone, while sodium borohydride in boiling tetrahydrofuran gave the equatorial 11 alpha-hydroxy-9 beta-estrone. In immature rat uterotropic bioassays using subcutaneous injections, 11 alpha-hydroxyestrone was 2 times as active as 11 alpha-hydroxy-9 beta-estrone, and 11 beta-hydroxyestrone was 10 times as active as 11 beta-hydroxy-9 beta-estrone.
An improved synthesis of 11-oxoestrone-3-acetate-17-ethyleneketal is reported. Adjustments are proposed for the oxidation of estrone by 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone into 9(11)-dehydroestrone. A complete hydroboration-oxidation of the resulting ketal, by means of borane-methylsulfide complex, gives the corresponding 11-hydroxy derivative. This latter compound is then acetylated for successful oxidation with pyridinium chlorochromate on alumina. The overall yield is 30%.

glucocorticoids could be limited by developing new compounds that selectively modulate anti-inflammatory activity of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). We have synthesized a novel series of steroidal GR ligands, including potent agonists, partial agonists and antagonists with a wide range of effects on inhibiting secretion of interleukin-6. Some of these new ligands were designed to directly impact conformational

Remarkably high estrogenic activity was observed for 3-hydroxy-9 beta-estra-1,3,5(10)-triene-11,17-dione despite its unusual bent conformation. The 9 alpha epimer of this compound has markedly less activity despite the fact that its overall shape is nearly identical to that of estrone. The potency of these compounds in enhancing uterine weight in Fischer rats and reducing ovarian weight in parabiosed rats was compared with that of estrone, and the structures were unambiguously identified by X-ray crystallographic study. The results underscore the importance of the phenolic ring A to estrogenic activity, and suggest a tolerance of the putative estrogenic receptor to flexibility in overall molecular shape.
