Abstract
Ring-fused azacyclic compounds are important building units in the synthesis of biorelevant natural products, pharmaceutical agents, and molecular materials. Herein, we present a new approach to these condensed azacycles by a biomimetic cascade cyclization of arylalkenyl dioxazolones. This cascade reaction was found to proceed with excellent stereoselectivity and a high functional group tolerance. The substrate scope of arylalkenyl dioxazolones turned out to be highly flexible and extendable to additional terminating subunits, such as heteroaryl and alkynyl moieties. This biomimetic cyclization was elucidated to be initiated by an intramolecular transfer of the in situ generated electrophilic Ir-acylnitrenoid to the tethered olefinic double bond, leading to a key N-acylaziridine intermediate, which is in turn reacted with pendant (hetero)arenes or alkynes in a highly regio- and stereoselective manner to produce ring-fused azacyclic compounds.

Abstract
Steroid derivatives modified with nitrogen containing heterocycles are known to inhibit activity of steroidogenic enzymes, decrease proliferation of cancer cells and attract attention as promising anticancer agents. Specifically, 2'-(3β-hydroxyandrosta-5,16-dien-17-yl)-4',5'-dihydro-1',3'-oxazole 1a potently inhibited proliferation of prostate carcinoma cells. In this study we synthesized and investigated five new derivatives of 3β-hydroxyandrosta-5,16-diene comprising 4'-methyl or 4'-phenyl substituted oxazolinyl cycle 1 (b-f). Docking of compounds 1 (a-f) to CYP17A1 active site revealed that the presence of substitutents at C4' atom in oxazoline cycle, as well as C4' atom configuration, significantly affect docking poses of compounds in the complexes with enzyme. Testing of compounds 1 (a-f) as CYP17A1 inhibitors revealed that the only compound 1a, comprising unsubstituted oxazolinyl moiety, demonstrated strong inhibitory activity, while other compounds 1 (b-f) were slightly active or non active. Compounds 1 (a-f) efficiently decreased growth and proliferation of prostate carcinoma LNCaP and PC-3 cells at 96 h incubation; the effect of compound 1a was the most powerful. Compound 1a efficiently stimulated apoptosis and caused PC-3 cells death, that was demonstrated by a direct comparison of pro-apoptotic effects of compound 1a and abiraterone.

Abstract
Steroidal heterocyclic compounds constitute interesting and promising scaffolds for drug discovery as they have displayed diverse chemical reactivity and several types of biological activities. This study is a concise report on the most recent advancements in the chemistry of the steroid skeleton, including reactions at the A, B, and D ring systems. The modern synthetic methods for the steroidal nitrogen-containing six-membered heterocyclic derivatives from 3-keto-, 6-keto-, 17-keto-, and 20-keto-steroids, as well as 2-Aldo-, 4-Aldo-, 6-Aldo-, and 16-Aldo-steroids, are discussed. However, some other methods for the synthesis of steroidal N-containing 6-membered heterocyclic derivatives are also included. These compounds have shown therapeutic potential as cytotoxic agents against various cell lines and have also shown antiproliferative, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities. Therefore, they could be used as prospective candidates for the development of various medications. This paper not only describes synthetic details involved in creating N-containing 6-membered heterocyclic steroid derivatives, but also provides a brief overview of the medicinal applications of these compounds. This information will be highly useful for the medicinal chemists conducting research in this field.

Abstract
A simple and efficient synthesis of novel estrone 16α,17α-oxazoline derivatives substituted at the D ring (compounds 6a-g) is described. The reduction of 16α-azido-3-methoxyestra-1,3,5-trien-17-one (1) in methanol in the presence of CeCl3 under the condition of the Luche reaction produced two epimeric azido alcohol (16α-azido-17α-hydroxy and 16α-azido-17β-hydroxy) derivatives of estra-1,3,5(10)-triene-3-methyl ether (compounds 2 and 3) in a yield of 90% and 7.6%. The reaction of the sterically unhindered 16α-azido-17α-hydroxy-estra-1,3,5(10)-triene-3-methyl ether (2) with a range of benzaldehydes under the condition of the Schmidt rearrangement yielded d-ring substituted estrone 16α,17α-oxazoline derivatives 6a-g. The in vitro antiproliferative activities of compounds 1, 2, 3, 6a-g were also determined by means of MTT assays on a panel of human cancer cell lines HeLa, SiHa, C-33 A, A2780, MCF-7, MDA-MB-231 and T47D.

Abstract
Hydroperoxides (R-OOH) represent a small family of natural metabolites that have been isolated from higher plants, fungi, and marine organisms. This paper is devoted to the distribution of hydroperoxides in plants, fungi and terrestrial fungal endophytes and their biological activity. Hydroperoxides of plants demonstrate a wide range of biological activities however, antineoplastic and anti-ulcerative are most characteristic with confidence from 91 to 98 percent. For hydroperoxides from fungi, the dominant are antineoplastic and anti-hypercholesterolemic activities with confidence from 89 to 92 percent. Very interesting activity was found for some triterpenoid hydroperoxides, which is characterized as a treatment for the symptoms of dementia. The norlupane hydroperoxide shows activity for the treatment of dementia. It is interesting that the reliability of this activity was very high 97.2%. According to our preliminary data, the norlupane hydroperoxide is apparently the first natural metabolite that showed almost 100 percent activity for the treatment of dementia. However, to confirm these data requires practical and clinical experimental work.

Abstract
Covering: early studies through to March 2016Cardenolides and bufadienolides constitute an attractive class of biologically active steroid derivatives which have been used for the treatment of heart disease in traditional remedies as well as in modern medicinal therapy. Due to their application as therapeutic agents and their unique molecular structures, bearing unsaturated 5- or 6-membered lactones (or other heterocycles) attached to the steroid core, cardio-active steroids have received great attention, which has intensified during the last decade, in the synthetic organic community. Advances in the field of cross-coupling reactions have provided a powerful tool for the attachment of lactone subunits to the steroid core. This current review covers a methodological analysis of synthetic efforts to cardenolide and bufadienolide aglycones. Special emphasis is given to cross-coupling reactions applied for the attachment of lactone subunits at sterically very hindered positions of the steroid core. The carefully selected partial and total syntheses of representative cardio-active steroids will also be presented to exemplify recent achievements (improvements) in the field.

Abstract
Oximation of 20-hydroxyecdysone oxo derivatives proceeds regio- and stereoselectively and provides (E)-configured oximes in quantitative yields. The Ni–Ra-catalyzed hydrogenation of the oximes affords novel α-aminoecdysteroids with the unchanged 14α-hydroxy-7-en-6-on native chromophore of ecdysteroids. The structures of synthesized compounds were confirmed by the means of homo- and heteronuclear one-dimensional and two-dimensional 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography.

Synthesis, characterization and antitumor activities of some steroidal derivatives with side chain of 17-hydrazone aromatic heterocycle. Steroids 2015; 95:32-8. [PMID: 25578734 DOI: 10.1016/j.steroids.2015.01.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2014] [Revised: 12/30/2014] [Accepted: 01/01/2015] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
Here a series of dehydroepiandrosterone-17-hydrazone and estrone-17-hydrazone derivatives possessing various aromatic heterocycle structures in 17-side chain of their steroidal nucleus were synthesized and their structures were evaluated. The antiproliferative activity of synthesized compounds against some cancer cells was investigated. The results have demonstrated that some dehydroepiandrosterone-17-hydrazone derivatives show distinct antiproliferative activity against some cancer cells through inducing cancer cell apoptosis, and compound 8 with a quinoline structure in 17-side chain displays excellent antiproliferative activity in vitro against SGC 7901 cancer cell (human gastric carcinoma) with an IC50 value of 1 μM. In addition, estrone-17-hydrazone derivatives having a key feature of indole group in the structure showed a special obvious cytotoxicity against HeLa cells, but almost inactive against other cells. The information obtained from the studies is valuable for the design of novel steroidal chemotherapeutic drugs.

Abstract
Novel 5α-androstanes containing an isoxazoline moiety condensed to ring A or D were efficiently synthetized by 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of aryl nitrile oxides to steroidal α,β-unsaturated ketones. During the ring closures, regioisomers in which the O terminus of the nitrile oxide dipoles is attached to the β-carbon of the dipolarophile were formed in a stereoselective manner to furnish exclusively 1α,2α- or 15β,16β-condensed heterocycles. The cyclic enone moiety of the six-membered ring A proved to be less reactive than that of the five-membered ring D, but all the reactions were affected significantly by the substitution pattern of the nitrile oxide. 17-Deacetylation of the primary products resulted in aromatization or simultaneous hydroxylation, depending on the base applied for the ring A-fused heterocycles, while retro-Dieckmann-like fragmentation was observed partially or completely for the ring D-fused analogues during 3-deacetylation.

Abstract
Efficient synthesis of novel 16-spiroisoxazolines in the androst-5-ene series was carried out by 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of different aryl nitrile oxides to 3β-acetoxy-16-methylene-androst-5-en-17-one. During the intermolecular ring closures, the attack of the O terminus of the nitrile oxide dipole from the α side on C-16 predominated for steric reasons permitting the reactions to occur in a regio- and stereoselective manner. The minor isomers in which the angular methyl group on C-13 and the O atom of the isoxazoline heteroring were in the β, β-cis orientation were obtained in a yield of only ~10 %. Moreover, the conversions were influenced to a certain extent by the substituents on the aromatic moiety of the 1,3-dipoles. The stereostructures of the related diastereomers were confirmed by 2D NMR methods. Deacetylation of the primarily formed main products resulted in the corresponding 3β-OH analogs, which were further reduced to furnish 3β, 17β-diols. All of the synthetized compounds were subjected to in vitro pharmacological studies in order to investigate their antiproliferative effects on three malignant human adherent cell lines (HeLa, MCF7, and A431).
