Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:8356. [PMID: 39125926 PMCID: PMC11313329 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25158356] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2024] [Revised: 07/18/2024] [Accepted: 07/26/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Hollongdione is the first recorded example of the occurrence of a dammarane hexanor-triterpene in nature possessing antiviral and cytotoxic activity. Its simple one-stage transformation into compounds with terminal alkyne and vinyl chloride fragments via the interaction with phosphorus halides is reported. The copper(I)-catalyzed Mannich reaction of 3-oxo-22,23,24,25,26,27-hexanor-dammar-20(21)-in 3 led to a series of aminomethylated products, while 17-carboxylic acid was obtained by ozone oxidation of 3-oxo-22,23,24,25,26,27-hexanor-dammar-20-chloro-20(21)-en 4; the following direct amidation of the latter has been developed. The structures of all new molecules were established by spectroscopic studies that included 2D NMR correlation methods; the molecular structures of compounds 2-5 were determined by X-ray analysis.

Abstract
The haloform reaction from methyl ketones to carboxylic acids is one of the oldest known synthetic organic reactions, which has been used in myriad applications over the decades. The corresponding reaction to produce esters is, however, less developed, as the reaction is generally limited to simple, primary alcohols that are used in solvent-level quantities, thereby restricting the complexity of esters that can be directly formed. Herein, we detail the development of a general ester-forming haloform coupling reaction using one equivalent of alcohol. Mechanistic and kinetic modelling studies demonstrated that the key intermediates are formed under equilibrium, which facilitated the development of conditions that are amenable to secondary alcohols.

Abstract
We report herein, the discovery of BMS-737 (compound 33) as a potent, non-steroidal, reversible small molecule inhibitor demonstrating 11-fold selectivity for CYP17 lyase over CYP17 hydroxylase, as well as a clean xenobiotic CYP profile for the treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Extensive SAR studies on the initial lead 1 at three different regions of the molecule resulted in the identification of BMS-737, which demonstrated a robust 83% lowering of testosterone without any significant perturbation of the mineralocorticoid and glucocorticoid levels in cynomologous monkeys in a 1-day PK/PD study.

Biological evaluation of antiproliferative and anti-invasive properties of an androstadiene derivative on human cervical cancer cell lines. J Steroid Biochem Mol Biol 2021; 214:105990.

Abstract
Gynaecological cancers are leading cause of death: breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed type of malignancies, and cervical neoplasms rank fourth for both incidence and mortality among women worldwide. In one of our previous studies, favourable antiproliferative and antimetastatic properties of a newly synthesized androstane derivative, 17APAD have been demonstrated on breast cancer cell lines with different expression patterns of hormone receptors. The aim of the current study was to investigate the antitumoral potential of this molecule in cervical cancer cell lines, including SiHa cells positive for human papilloma virus (HPV) type 16 and HPV-negative C33A cells. 17APAD exerted pronounced growth-inhibition (with IC50 values ranging from 0.76 to 1.72 μM with considerable cancer selectivity), while cisplatin used as a reference agent yielded higher IC50 values (ranging from 3.69 to 12.43) and less selectivity, as evidenced by MTT assay. The proapoptotic effect and morphological changes induced by 17APAD were detected by Hoechst 33258-propidium iodide or Annexin V-Alexa488-propidium iodide fluorescent double staining methods, supplemented with a caspase-3 activity assay to identify the mechanism behind the programmed cell death induced by 17APAD. Additionally, significant and concentration-dependent elevation of the ratio of cells in the G2/M phase, on the expense of G0/G1 phase, was observed after 48 h of exposure to 17APAD. Besides its potent antiproliferative properties against both cervical cancer cell lines, 17APAD elicited a remarkable inhibition of cell migration and invasion as detected in wound-healing and Boyden chamber assays, respectively. The mechanisms of action underlying the effects of 17APAD on cell proliferation and motility were independent of androgenic activity, as demonstrated by the Yeast Androgen Screen method. Our results provide new evidence for the proapoptotic and anti-invasive properties of 17APAD, suggesting that it is worth of further research, as a promising prototype for designing novel anticancer agents.

J Steroid Biochem Mol Biol 2021; 211:105904.

Abstract
One of the main directions of steroid research is the preparation of modified derivatives in which, in addition to changes in physicochemical properties, receptor binding is significantly altered, thus a bioactivity different from that of the parent compound predominates. In the frame of this work, 2-arylidene derivatives were first synthesized by regioselective modification of the A-ring of natural sex hormone, 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT). After Claisen-Schmidt condensations of DHT with (hetero)aromatic aldehydes in alkaline EtOH, heterocyclizations of the α,β-enones were performed with 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole, 3-aminopyrazole and 3-amino-5-methylpyrazole in the presence of t-BuOK in DMF to afford 7'-epimeric mixtures of A-ring-fused azolo-dihydropyrimidines, respectively. Depending on the electronic demand of the substituents of the arylidene moiety, spontaneous or 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone (DDQ)-induced oxidation of the heteroring led to triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines and pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines in good yields, while, using the Jones reagent as a strong oxidant, 17-oxidation also occurred. The crystal structures of an arylidene and a triazolopyrimidine product have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction and both were found to crystallize in the monoclinic crystal system at P21 space group. Most derivatives were found to diminish the transcriptional activity of androgen receptor (AR) in reporter cell line. The candidate compound (17β-hydroxy-2-(4-chloro)benzylidene-5α-androstan-3-one, 2f) showed to suppress androgen-mediated AR transactivation in a dose-dependent manner. We confirmed the cellular interaction of 2f with AR, described the binding in AR-binding cavity by the flexible docking and showed the ability of the compound to suppress the expression of AR-regulated genes in two prostate cancer cell lines.

Abstract
A series of novel 18βH-glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) derivatives containing 3'-(alkyl/phenyl/pyridin(-2″, -3″, and -4″)-yl)-1',2',4'-oxadiazole moieties at the C-30 position were synthesized by condensation of triterpenoid's carboxyl group with corresponding amidoximes and further cyclization. Screening of the cytotoxicity of novel GA derivatives on a panel of tumor cell lines showed that the 3-acetoxy triterpenoid intermediates-O-acylated amidoxime 3a-h-display better solubility under bioassay conditions and more pronounced cytotoxicity compared to their 1',2',4'-oxadiazole analogs 4f-h (median IC50 = 7.0 and 49.7 µM, respectively). Subsequent replacement of the 3-acetoxy group by the hydroxyl group of pyridin(-2″, 3″, and -4″)-yl-1',2',4'-oxadiazole-bearing GA derivatives produced compounds 5f-h, showing the most pronounced selective toxicity toward tumor cells (median selectivity index (SI) > 12.1). Further detailed analysis of the antitumor activity of hit derivative 5f revealed its marked proapoptotic activity and inhibitory effects on clonogenicity and motility of HeLa cervical carcinoma cells in vitro, and the metastatic growth of B16 melanoma in vivo. Additionally, the comprehensive in silico study revealed intermediate 3d, bearing the tert-butyl moiety in O-acylated amidoxime, as a potent anti-inflammatory candidate, which was able to effectively inhibit inflammatory response induced by IFNγ in macrophages in vitro and carrageenan in murine models in vivo, probably by primary interactions with active sites of MMP9, neutrophil elastase, and thrombin. Taken together, our findings provide a basis for a better understanding of the structure-activity relationship of 1',2',4'-oxadiazole-containing triterpenoids and reveal two hit molecules with pronounced antitumor (5f) and anti-inflammatory (3d) activities.

Abstract
Multistep syntheses of novel 17β-pyrazol-5'-ones in the Δ5-androstane series were efficiently carried out from pregnenolone acetate. A steroidal 17-carboxylic acid was first synthesized as a norpregnene precursor by the bromoform reaction and subsequent acetylation. Its CDI-activated acylimidazole derivative was then converted to a β-ketoester containing a two carbon atom-elongated side chain than that of the starting material. A Knorr cyclization of the bifunctional 1,3-dicarbonyl compound with hydrazine and its monosubstituted derivatives in AcOH under microwave heating conditions led to the regioselective formation of 17-exo-heterocycles in good to excellent yields. The suppression of an acid-catalyzed thermal decarboxylation of the β-ketoester and thus a significant improvement in the yield of the desired heterocyclic products could be achieved by the preliminary liberation of the arylhydrazines from their hydrochloride salts in EtOH in the presence of NaOAc. The reaction rates were found to depend on the electronic character of the substituent present in the phenylhydrazine applied. The antiproliferative activities of the structurally related steroidal pyrazol-5'-ones and their deacetylated analogs were screened on three human adherent breast cancer cell lines (MCF7, T47D and MDA-MB-231): the microculture tetrazolium assay revealed that some of the presented derivatives exerted cell growth inhibitory effects on some of these cell lines comparable to those of the reference compound, cisplatin.

Stereoselective synthesis of monoterpene-based 1,2,4- and 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives was accomplished starting from α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids, obtained by the oxidation of (−)-2-carene-3-aldehyde and commercially available (−)-myrtenal. 1,2,4-Oxadiazoles were prepared in two steps via the corresponding O-acylamidoxime intermediates, which then underwent cyclisation induced by tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF) under mild reaction conditions. Stereoselective dihydroxylation in highly stereospecific reactions with the OsO4/NMO (N-methylmorpholine N-oxide) system produced α,β-dihydroxy 1,2,4-oxadiazoles. Pinane-based 1,3,4-oxadiazoles were obtained similarly from acids by coupling with acyl hydrazines followed by POCl3-mediated dehydrative ring closure. In the case of the arane counterpart, the rearrangement of the constrained carane system occurred with the loss of chirality under the same conditions. Stereoselective dihydroxylation with OsO4/NMO produced α,β-dihydroxy 1,3,4-oxadiazoles. The prepared diols were applied as chiral catalysts in the enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes. All compounds were screened in vitro for their antiproliferative effects against four malignant human adherent cell lines by means of the MTT assay with the O-acylated amidoxime intermediates exerting remarkable antiproliferative action.

Abstract
Aza-Michael addition of 16-dehydropregnenolone was studied in the presence of a basic ionic liquid, [DBU][OAc] as catalyst and solvent. The reaction was carried out using different primary and secondary amines as N-nucleophiles. The products were obtained in moderate to good yields and were characterized by 1H and 13C NMR, MS and IR. The ionic liquid was found to be an efficient and recyclable catalyst that was reused five times. The products were investigated for the inhibition of in vitro C17,20-lyase activity and displayed moderate inhibitory effect.

Abstract
The inhibition of CYP17 to block androgen biosynthesis is a well validated strategy for the treatment of prostate cancer. Herein we reported the design, synthesis and structure-activity relationship (SAR) study for a series of novel 1,2,3,4- tetrahydrobenzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-c]pyridine derivatives. Some analogs demonstrated a potent inhibition to both rat and human CYP17 protein and reduced testosterone production in human H295R cell line. Some analogs also showed high selectivity against other CYP enzymes such as 3A4, 1A2, 2C9, 2C19 and 2D6, which may limit side effects due to drug-drug interactions. Among these analogs, the most potent compound 9c showed 1.5 fold more potent against rat and human CYP17 protein than that of abiraterone (IC50 = 16 nM and 20 nM vs. 25 nM and 36 nM respectively). In NCI-H295R cells, the inhibitory effect of compound 9c on testosterone production (52± 2%) was also more potent than that of abiraterone (74± 15%) at the concentration of 1 μM. Further, it was shown that 9c reduced plasma testosterone level in a dose-dependent manner in Sprague-Dawley rats. Thus, analog 9c maybe a potential agent used for the treatment of prostate cancer.

Abstract
The Claisen condensations of 3β-acetoxypregn-5-en-20-one (1) and 3β-acetoxypregna-5,16-diene (7) with dimethyl oxalate are known to lead to 3β-hydroxy-21-methoxalylpregn-5-en-20-one (2) and 3β-hydroxy-21-methoxalylpregna-5,16-dien-20-one (8), respectively. The reactions of 2 with p-substituted phenylhydrazines afford pyrazol-5-yl derivatives (5) as main, and 3-yl regioisomers (4) as minor products. The corresponding reactions of 16-ene analogue 8 afford only pyrazol-5-yl regioisomer 9. Oppenauer oxidation of the pyrazolyl compounds yields the corresponding Δ(4)-3-ketosteroids. We investigated the antiandrogenic effects of new methoxycarbonylpyrazolyl compounds through determination of their in vitro inhibition of the activities of rat testicular C17,20-lyase, Δ(5)-3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (Δ(5)-3β-HSD) and 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 3 (17β-HSD3). A Δ(5)-3β-hydroxy compound in the D-ring-saturated androst-5-ene series bearing an unsubstituted phenyl group on the pyrazolyl heterocycle (5a) proved to be a potent inhibitor of Δ(5)-3β-HSD. The 4-methoxyphenyl derivative (5e) and the 3-oxo counterpart (6a) of 5a also displayed substantial inhibition. The other tested compounds exerted only weak inhibitory action against the enzymes investigated. The newly synthetized compounds were evaluated in vitro by means of MTT assays for antiproliferative activity against Hela (cervical carcinoma), A431 (skin epidermoid carcinoma) and MCF7 (breast adenocarcinoma) cells. In all four groups (3β-hydroxy- and 3-ketosteroids with saturated or unsaturated ring D), the most potent analogs contain a 4-tolyl or 4-methoxyphenyl group. Compound 5d exhibited substantial antiproliferative action against the three cell lines investigated, whereas 9d inhibited the growth of Hela cells markedly. The most noteworthy inhibition was exerted by 6a against A431 cells.

Abstract
A series of novel 17-exo-oxadiazoles and -thiadiazoles in the Δ(5) androstene series were efficiently synthesized from pregnenolone acetate and pregnadienolone acetate via multistep pathways. 17β-(1',3',4')-Oxadiazoles were obtained in high yields by the phenyliodonium diacetate-induced oxidative ring closure of semicarbazone and N-acylhydrazones derived from 3β-acetoxy- and 3β-hydroxyandrost-5-ene-17β-carbaldehydes. For the synthesis of analogous Δ(16)-17-oxadiazolyl derivatives, N,N'-disubstituted hydrazine intermediates were prepared from 3β-acetoxyandrosta-5,16-diene-17-carboxylic acid, which then underwent cyclodehydration in the presence of POCl3. The cyclization of steroidal N,N'-diacylhydrazines containing a saturated ring D with the Lawesson reagent afforded 17β-(1',3',4')-thiadiazoles in good yields. Most of the products were subjected to deacetylation in basic media in order to enlarge the compound library available for pharmacological studies. All of these derivatives were screened in vitro for their antiproliferative effects against four malignant human adherent cell lines (HeLa, A2780, MCF7 and A431) by means of the MTT assay. The 3β-hydroxy derivatives of the newly-synthesized 17-exo-heterocycles were tested in vitro to investigate their inhibitory effects on rat testicular C17,20-lyase. One of the 1,3,4-oxadiazolyl derivatives proved to exert noteworthy enzyme-inhibitory action, with an IC50 (0.065 μM) of the same order of magnitude as that of abiraterone.

Abstract
Since many estrogen derivatives exhibit anti-hormone or enzyme inhibition potential, a large number of steroidal derivatives have been synthesised from appropriate precursors, in order to obtain potential therapeutics for the treatment of hormone-dependent cancers. In molecular docking studies, based on X-ray crystallographic analysis, selected D-homo and D-seco estratriene derivatives were predicted to bind strongly to estrogen receptor α (ERα), aromatase and 17,20 lyase, suggesting they could be good starting compounds for antihormonal studies. Test results in vivo suggest that these compounds do not possess estrogenic activity, while some of them showed weak anti-estrogenic properties. In vitro anti-aromatase and anti-lyase assays showed partial inhibition of these two enzymes, while some compounds activated aromatase. Aromatase activators are capable of promoting estrogen synthesis for treatment of pathological conditions caused by estrogen depletion, e.g. osteopenia or osteoporosis.

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.
