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.

Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of Two Series of Novel A-Ring Fused Steroidal Pyrazines as Potential Anticancer Agents. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21051665.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increasingly, different heterocyclic systems have been introduced into the steroid nucleus to significantly enhance the antitumor activities of steroid molecules. However, in this study, few literature precedents describing the pyrazine heterocyclic-condensed modification to an A-ring of steroid monomers were found, although the pyrazine group is thought to be essential for the potent anticancer activity of clinically relevant drugs and natural steroid dimers. METHODS AND RESULTS Two series of novel A-ring fused steroidal pyrazines were designed and efficiently synthesized from commercially available progesterone via key α-ketoenol intermediates. Through a cell counting kit-8 cytotoxic assay of 36 derivatives for three tumor cells, 14 compounds displayed significant antiproliferative activity compared to 5-fluorouracil, especially for human prostatic tumor cells (PC-3) in vitro. Further mechanistic studies indicated that the most active compound, 12n (IC50, 0.93 μM; SI, 28.71), could induce the cell apoptosis of PC-3 cells in a dose-dependent manner and cause cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase. The molecular docking study suggested that compound 12n fitted the active sites of cytochrome P450 17A1 (6CIZ) well. CONCLUSIONS 12n might serve as a promising lead compound for the development of novel anticancer drugs. This facile ring-closing strategy may provide a novel and promising avenue for the cycloaddition reaction of the steroidal skeleton through α-ketoenol intermediates.

Abstract
Steroids are components of cell membranes, signaling molecules and are a type of secondary metabolites as a result of their high impact of biological significance. The present review described the literature reports of pentacyclic steroidal pyrimidines as a type of heterocyclic steroids. The main sections included the synthesis of the investigated steroids fused at rings-A or B or D of steroid skeleton, synthesis of binary or linked-type pyrimidines, pyrimidine oxides, macromolecules and mono- or di- or tri-peptides linked-steroidal pyrimidines. Besides, the present research highlighted the biological significance of steroidal pyrimidines, in which the compounds revealed potent anticancer, antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-Alzheimer agents. In addition, some hetero-steroids were screened for binding DNA assay and gene expression analysis. It was settled that the incorporation of pyrimidine scaffold into steroid basic skeleton is crucial for better biological results.

Abstract
Novel ring D- and A-fused pyrimidines in the androstane series were efficiently synthesized within 10-15min in polar protic solvents under microwave irradiation via two kinds of multicomponent heterocyclization reactions followed by spontaneous or promoted oxidation. The rates of the one-pot catalyst-free transformations of steroidal β-ketoaldehydes, ammonium acetate and substituted benzaldehydes in EtOH were found to be affected slightly by the steric and electronic feature of the substituents on the aromatic ring of the arylaldehyde component and the different reactivities of rings D and A of the sterane core. At the same time, the acid-catalyzed Biginelli-type reaction of dihydrotestosterone acetate, urea and arylaldehydes, and subsequent Jones oxidation of the primarily formed dihydropyrimidinones led to the corresponding ring A-fused 1H-pyrimidin-2-ones in moderate yields independently of the substituents on the aromatic moiety. The synthesized compounds were tested in vitro on human cancer cell lines as well as on non-cancerous fibroblast cells by the MTT assay in order to investigate their biological effects. As a result of the pharmacological screen, a remarkable structure-function relationship has been observed as the acetylated Biginelli products exhibited higher toxicity compared to the deacetylated version of each compound. Furthermore, in case of three 2'-arylpyrimidine derivatives a strong prostate cancer cell specific activity has been identified.

Abstract
Metandienone (MET) is an exogenous anabolic androgenic steroid. The interaction between MET and human serum albumin (HSA) was investigated by molecular modeling and different optical techniques. There was no possibility of energy transfer, and the fluorescence quenching of HSA induced by MET was mainly due to the complex formation. The differences of binding ability between MET and compounds 1-5 were significantly caused by space steric hindrance. The single crystallographic data of two steroids (compounds 4 and 5) were obtained in the methanol at the first time. In addition, the binding ability was slightly affected by -OH, -CH3 , and -COCH3 . The results of displacement experiment demonstrated that the MET binding site was mainly located in site 1 of HSA. H-bonding and van der Waals forces were significant in the MET-HSA binding. MET played an insignificant role on the local conformation change in HSA.

Abstract
A series of coumarin analogues bearing 4H-pyran rings 2a-d, 11a-d and 1,4-dihydropyridine rings 3a-d, 12a-d at position 3 were synthesized starting from either 3-acetyl coumarin (1) or the coumarin acetohydrazide derivative 4. Condensation of 3-acetylcoumarin (1) with 2-cyanoacetohydrazide afforded 2-cyano-N'-{1-[2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl]ethylidene}acetohydrazide (4). Reaction of compound 4 with elemental sulfur and either malononitrile or ethyl cyanoacetate afforded the thiophene derivatives 8 and 9, respectively. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were confirmed on the basis of their spectral data and elemental analyses. All synthesized compounds were screened for their in vitro anticancer activity against six human cancer cell lines and normal fibroblasts. Several compounds showed potent inhibition with an IC50 value of ˂870 nM. Compound 3d exhibited equivalent cytotoxic effect as the standard CHS 828 against a breast cancer cell line (IC50 value=18 nM). Normal fibroblast cells (WI38) were affected to a much lesser extent (IC50 value >10000 nM).
