Optimal TBHP Allylic Oxidation of Δ5-Steroids Catalyzed by Dirhodium Caprolactamate
摘要:
Dirhodium caprolactamate is the most efficient catalyst for the oxidation of Delta(5)-steroids to 7-keto-Delta(5)-steroids by 70% tert-butyl hydroperoxide in water (T-HYDRO). Isolated product yields range from 38 to 87%.

This invention relates to oxysteroids and oxysteroid hormones which have been identified. These oxysteroids are C27 modified sterols, particularly derivatives of intermediates in cholesterol synthesis, including lanosterol, zymosterol and desmosterol, including C27 diol and C27 acid derivatives, as well as related compounds and analogs thereof. The oxysteroids are capable of binding to or otherwise interacting with orphan nuclear receptors to result in modulation of gene expression. The invention further relates to methods of modulating the rate of cholesterol synthesis in a mammal. More specifically, the invention relates to treatment of cholesterol-related conditions which are improved or ameliorated by modulating the rate of cholesterol synthesis or cholesterol metabolism in a human in need thereof by administration of these oxysteroids, analogs or antagonists thereof. The invention includes methods for ameliorating, treating or preventing macular degeneration in a mammal comprising administering to said mammal an agent which stimulates or enhances the expression or activity of steroid sulphotransferase (SLUT2), particularly SLUT2B1b, or which stimulates or enhances the expression or activity of CYP27A1 or sterol 27-hydroxylase or otherwise increasing the sulfonation or 27-hydroxylation of cholesterol intermediates, including 7-ketocholesterol. Assays for identification of analogs, antagonists or modulators of these oxysteroids or of sterol 27-hydroxylase are also provided.
This invention relates, for example, to synthetic oxysterols. Also described are methods for using the compounds, including treating subjects in need thereof, and pharmaceutical compositions and kits for implementing methods of the invention.

The invention provides liposomes containing nonglycosidic ceramides within their bilayers, and compositions thereof. These liposomes activate murine iNKT cells and induce dendritic cell (DC) maturation, both in vitro and in vivo at an efficacy that is comparable to their corresponding soluble nonglycosidic ceramides. Also provided are methods for treating diseases using the liposomes and compositions of the invention.
