[PMID: 38452910 DOI: 10.1016/j.steroids.2024.109392] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2023] [Revised: 02/26/2024] [Accepted: 03/04/2024] [Indexed: 03/09/2024]
Abstract
We report the biotransformation of progesterone 1 by whole cells of Brazilian marine-derived fungi. A preliminary screening with 12 fungi revealed that the strains Penicillium oxalicum CBMAI 1996, Mucor racemous CBMAI 847, Cladosporium sp. CBMAI 1237, Penicillium oxalicum CBMAI 1185 and Aspergillus sydowii CBMAI 935 were efficient in the biotransformation of progesterone 1 in the first days of the reaction, with conversion values ranging from 75 % to 99 %. The fungus P. oxalicum CBMAI 1185 was employed in the reactions in quintuplicate to purify and characterize the main biotransformation products of progesterone 1. The compounds testololactone 1a, 12β-hydroxyandrostenedione 1b and 1β-hydroxyandrostenedione 1c were isolated and characterized by NMR, MS, [α]D and MP. In addition, the chromatographic yield of compound 1a was determined by HPLC-PDA in the screening experiments. In this study, we show a biotransformation pathway of progesterone 1, suggesting the presence of several enzymes such as Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases, dehydrogenases and cytochrome P450 monooxygenases in the fungus P. oxalicum CBMAI 1185. In summary, the results obtained in this study contribute to the synthetic area and have environmental importance, since the marine-derived fungi can be employed in the biodegradation of steroids present in wastewater and the environment. The cytotoxic results demonstrate that the biodegradation products were inactive against the cell lines, in contrast to progesterone.

Reese PB. Remote functionalization reactions in steroids: discovery and application. Steroids 2024; 204:109362. [PMID: 38278283 DOI: 10.1016/j.steroids.2023.109362] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2023] [Revised: 12/23/2023] [Accepted: 12/30/2023] [Indexed: 01/28/2024]
Abstract
Research published between 2001 and 2022 on the functionalization of remote positions of steroids, as well as the use of this technique in the generation of biologically active compounds has been reviewed. In the first section of the analysis established and novel methods for activation of sites deemed to be remote were reported. A series of manganese- (mainly), rhodium-, ruthenium- and osmium-centered porphyrins as catalysts in the presence of PIDA as oxidant have effected hydroxylation at C-1, -5, -6, -7, -11, -14, -15, -16, -17, -20, -24 and -25. Dioxiranes have been utilized in inserting hydroxyl groups at the 5, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20, 24 and 25 positions (tertiary centers for the most part). Alcohols at C-12 and -16 were oxidized further to ketones. The Schönecker oxidation, discovered and developed during the period, has revolutionized the selective functionalization at C-12 of steroids possessing a 17-keto group. In the presence of iron-centered PDP- and MCP-based catalysts, hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid, substrates tended to be hydroxylated at C-6 and -12, with further oxidation to ketones often accompanying this reaction. The hypohalite reaction, utilizing the more modern Suarez conditions (irradiation in the presence of iodine and PIDA), was reported to facilitate the insertion of a hydroxyl moiety five atoms away from an existing alcohol oxygen. Steroidal-3β-diazoacetates tend to decompose on heating with di-rhodium-centered catalysts while activating carbons four or five atoms away. Chromium- and iron-based acetates were observed to functionalize C-5 and -25. Other reactions involving ring cleavage and halogenation, ketone irradiation and α-hydroxylation of ethers were also covered. The syntheses of compounds with marked biological activity from readily available steroids is described in the second section of the study. Cyclopamine, cephalostatin-1, ritterazine B and three polyhydroxypregnanaes (pergularin, utendin and tomentogenin) were generated in sequences in which a key step required hydroxylation at C-12 using the Schönecker reaction. A crucial stage in the preparation of cortistatin A, the saundersioside core, eurysterol A, 5,6-dihydroglaucogenin C, as well as clinostatins A and B involved the functionalization of C-18 or -19 utilizing hypohalite chemistry. The synthetic route to xestobergsterol A, pavonin-4-aglycone and ouagabagenin included a transformation where ketone irradiation played a part in either producing a Δ14 or a C-19 activated steroid. The radical relay reaction, where a 17α-chloro-steroid was formed, was central in the generation of pythocholic acid. The lead tetraacetate reaction was pivotal in the functionalization of C-19 during the synthesis of cyclocitrinol.

Abstract
A new synthetic route to 25-hydroxy-provitamin D3 was elaborated. The synthesis consists of direct hydroxylation at C-25 of 7-dehydrocholesterol hetero Diels-Alder adducts. The adducts were prepared by [4 + 2] cycloaddition of azadienophiles to the steroidal diene. The hydroxylation reactions of adducts were carried out with different dioxiranes or with chromyl trifluoroacetate. The byproducts of these reactions were isolated and identified. The strengths and weaknesses of hydroxylation methods with different oxidizing agents were discussed.

Abstract
In this study, we synthesized androsta-4,14-diene-3,16-dione, 12β-hydroxyandrosta-4,14-diene-3,16-dione, and other 3,16-androstenedione derivatives from commercially available dehydroepiandrosterone as a starting material in 9-13 steps with high yields. The bioactivity of the obtained compounds was evaluated. Compounds 14a and 23a were shown to have high antitumor activity against acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell lines Nalm-6 and BALL-1, respectively. Network pharmacology analysis showed that the anti-leukemia activity of compounds 14a and 23a might be related to the JAK2, ABL1 protein, and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways. The molecular docking of compounds 14a and 23a identified possible active sites, with the lowest docking scores for PTGS2 and MAPK14, respectively. In addition, the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion prediction results revealed the drug-likeness of the two compounds. Therefore, compounds 14a and 23a should be considered anti-leukemia candidates in future studies.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, the advent of C-H activation has led to a rethink among chemists about the synthetic strategies employed for multi-step transformations. Indeed, deploying innovative and masterful tricks against the numerous classical organic transformations has been the need of the hour. Despite this, the immense importance of C-H activation remains unfulfilled unless the methodology can be deployed for large-scale industrial processes and towards the concise, step-economic synthesis of prodigious natural products and pharmaceutical drugs. Lately, the growing potential of C-H activation methodology has indeed driven the pioneers of synthetic organic chemists into finding more efficient methods to accelerate the synthesis of such complex molecular scaffolds. This review aims to draw a general overview of the various C-H activation procedures that have been adopted for synthesizing these vast majority of structurally complicated natural products. Our objective lies in drawing a complete picture and taking the readers through the synthesis of a series of such complex organic compounds by simplified techniques, making it step-economic on a larger scale and thus instigating the readers to trigger the use of such methodology and uncover new, unique patterns for future synthesis of such natural products.

Abstract
Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) cleave polysaccharides through copper-bound oxyl radicals. We report a synthetic mimic of LPMO that uses micelle-stabilized hydrogen bonds to bind a glycan and two molecularly imprinted hydrophobic pockets to accommodate the alkyl tail of the glycoside and a copper cofactor, respectively. Cleavage of alkyl glycosides and oligosaccharides with hydrogen peroxide occurs at room temperature in aqueous solution, with selectivities for both the glycan and the alkyl aglycon.

Abstract
In this research article, we describe the Cu-promoted intramolecular hydroxylation of sp2 and sp3 CH bonds using directing groups with varying denticity (bi-, tri- and tetradentate) and natural oxidants (O2 and H2O2). We found that bidentate directing groups, in combination with Cu and H2O2, led to high hydroxylation yields. On the other hand, tetradentate directing groups did not form the hydroxylation products. Our mechanistic investigations suggest that bidentate directing groups allow for generating reactive mononuclear copper(II) hydroperoxide intermediates while tetradentate systems form dinuclear Cu2O2 species that do not oxidize CH bonds. Our findings might shed light on the reaction mechanism(s) by which Cu-dependent metalloenzymes such as particulate methane monooxygenase or lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase oxidize strong CH bonds.

Abstract
The first total synthesis of the cytotoxic alkaloid ritterazine B is reported. The synthesis features a unified approach to both steroid subunits, employing a titanium-mediated propargylation reaction to achieve divergence from a common precursor. Other key steps include gold-catalyzed cycloisomerizations that install both spiroketals and late stage C-H oxidation to incorporate the C7' alcohol.

Abstract
Pentacyclic triterpenoids (PTs) constitute one of the biggest families of natural products, many with higher oxidation state at the D/E rings possess a wide spectrum of biological activties but are poorly accessible. Here we report a site-selective C-H hydroxylation at the D/E rings of PTs paving a way toward these important natural products. We find that Schönecker and Baran's Cu-mediated aerobic oxidation can be applied and become site-selective on PT skeletons, as being effected unexpectedly by the chirality of the transient pyridine-imino directing groups. To prove the applicability, starting from the most abundant triterpenoid feedstock oleanane, three representative saponins bearing hydroxyl groups at C16 or C22 are expeditiously synthesized, and barringtogenol C which bears hydroxyl groups at C16, C21, and C22 is synthesized via a sequential hydroxylation as the key steps.

Abstract
The use of copper for C-H bond functionalization, compared to other metals, is relatively unexplored. Herein, we report a synthetic protocol for the regioselective hydroxylation of sp2 and sp3 C-H bonds using a directing group, stoichiometric amounts of Cu and H2O2. A wide array of aromatic ketones and aldehydes are oxidized in the carbonyl γ-position with remarkable yields. We also expanded this methodology to hydroxylate the β-position of alkylic ketones. Spectroscopic characterization, kinetics, and density functional theory calculations point toward the involvement of a mononuclear LCuII(OOH) species, which oxidizes the aromatic sp2 C-H bonds via a concerted heterolytic O-O bond cleavage with concomitant electrophilic attack on the arene system.

Abstract
The application of small molecules as catalysts for the diversification of natural product scaffolds is reviewed. Specifically, principles that relate to the selectivity challenges intrinsic to complex molecular scaffolds are summarized. The synthesis of analogues of natural products by this approach is then described as a quintessential "late-stage functionalization" exercise wherein natural products serve as the lead scaffolds. Given the historical application of enzymatic catalysts to the site-selective alteration of complex molecules, the focus of this Review is on the recent studies of nonenzymatic catalysts. Reactions involving hydroxyl group derivatization with a variety of electrophilic reagents are discussed. C-H bond functionalizations that lead to oxidations, aminations, and halogenations are also presented. Several examples of site-selective olefin functionalizations and C-C bond formations are also included. Numerous classes of natural products have been subjected to these studies of site-selective alteration including polyketides, glycopeptides, terpenoids, macrolides, alkaloids, carbohydrates, and others. What emerges is a platform for chemical remodeling of naturally occurring scaffolds that targets virtually all known chemical functionalities and microenvironments. However, challenges for the design of very broad classes of catalysts, with even broader selectivity demands (e.g., stereoselectivity, functional group selectivity, and site-selectivity) persist. Yet, a significant spectrum of powerful, catalytic alterations of complex natural products now exists such that expansion of scope seems inevitable. Several instances of biological activity assays of remodeled natural product derivatives are also presented. These reports may foreshadow further interdisciplinary impacts for catalytic remodeling of natural products, including contributions to SAR development, mode of action studies, and eventually medicinal chemistry.

Abstract
The use of copper in directed C-H oxidation has been relatively underexplored. In a seminal example, Schönecker showed that copper and O2 promoted the hydroxylation of steroid-containing ligands. Recently, Baran (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2015, 137, 13776) improved the reaction conditions to oxidize similar substrates with excellent yields. In both reports, the involvement of Cu2O2 intermediates was suggested. In this collaborative article, we studied the hydroxylation mechanism in great detail, resulting in the overhaul of the previously accepted mechanism and the development of improved reaction conditions. Extensive experimental evidence (spectroscopic characterization, kinetic analysis, intermolecular reactivity, and radical trap experiments) is provided to support each of the elementary steps proposed and the hypothesis that a key mononuclear LCuII(OOR) intermediate undergoes homolytic O-O cleavage to generate reactive RO• species, which are responsible for key C-H hydroxylation within the solvent cage. These key findings allowed the oxidation protocol to be reformulated, leading to improvements of the reaction cost, practicability, and isolated yield.

Abstract
Covering: 2006 to 2015C-H functionalization remains one of the frontier challenges in organic chemistry and drives quite an active area of research. It has recently been applied in various novel strategies for the synthesis of natural products. It can dramatically increase synthetic efficiency when incorporated into retrosynthetic analyses of complex natural products, making it an essential part of current trends in organic synthesis. In this Review, we focus on selected case studies of recent applications of C-H oxidation methodologies in which the C-H bond has been exploited effectively to construct C-O and C-N bonds in natural product syntheses. Examples of syntheses representing different types of C-H oxidation are discussed to illustrate the potential of this approach and inspire future applications.

Abstract
Steroids bearing C12 oxidations are widespread in nature, yet only one preparative chemical method addresses this challenge in a low-yielding and not fully understood fashion: Schönecker's Cu-mediated oxidation. This work shines new light onto this powerful C-H oxidation method through mechanistic investigation, optimization, and wider application. Culminating in a scalable, rapid, high-yielding, and operationally simple protocol, this procedure is applied to the first synthesis of several parent polyoxypregnane natural products, representing a gateway to over 100 family members.

Abstract
This review article is a tribute to the numerous chemists whose relentless effort for the last quarter of a century resulted in the isolation, identification, and finally the chemical synthesis of a family of bis-steroidal pyrazine alkaloids of marine origin. In the task of defeating cancer, the search for bioactive substances among the naturally occurring compounds is, without any doubt, a preferential approach. The remarkable contribution of Petitt, Fusetani, and their coworkers allowed to discover this family of marine alkaloids that emerge as potential therapeutic anticancer agents, although there is still a long way to go. The challenging and dangerous task of collecting living organisms from deep-waters was followed by a laborious isolation, elucidation of the complicated structures and biological tests. The outcome of this paramount effort was the identification of 45 compounds that stand, to date, as some of the most potent anticancer agents. The intriguing structures of the isolated alkaloids drew the attention of synthetic chemists, valiant enough to undertake the challenging task of synthesizing some of the most active members of the family. Fuchs, Heathcock, Winterfeldt, Suarez, Shair, and their associates pioneered in the establishment of feasible synthetic routes for the preparation of some of the naturally occurring compounds and a large number of synthetic analogs, allowing to establish SAR criteria that have guided the design of new synthetic analogs. Numerous analogs have been prepared to investigate the mechanism of action of bis-steroidal pyrazines, e.g. cephalostatin analogs bearing a strained spiroketal moiety. However, the mechanism of action and the biological target of these compounds remain far from being understood. Therefore, the rational design of simpler, yet highly active analogs seems at the current stage elusive. It is still 1 to clear why these compounds need to be dimeric to show high biological activity. Furthermore, it is not known whether the central pyrazine ring is simply a linker or has some additional function. This could be tested by examining the biological activity of steroidal dimers with other linkers, e.g. with a benzene ring. Such analogs have been actually prepared but without functional groups necessary for biological activity. The clinical trials of cephalostatins have got stuck due to a shortage of material. There is an urgent need to provide highly active, yet not too complex analogs, which could be available in substantial amounts for advanced pharmacological studies.

Abstract
C-H oxidation has a long history and an ongoing presence in research at the forefront of chemistry and interrelated fields. As such, numerous highly useful articles and reviews have been written on this subject. Logically, these are generally written from the perspective of the scope and limitations of the reagents employed. This Minireview instead attempts to emphasize chemoselectivity imposed by the nature of the substrate. Consequently, many landmark discoveries in the field of C-H oxidation are not discussed, but hopefully the perspective taken herein will allow C-H oxidation reactions to be more readily incorporated into synthetic planning.

Abstract
Microbial transformation of diosgenin (1) using Absidia coerulea yielded five new polar metabolites, which were identified as (25 R)-spirost-5-en-3β,7β,12β,25α-tetrol (2), (25 S)-spirost-5-en-3β,7α,12β,25β-tetrol (3), (25 S)-spirost-5-en-3β,7β,12β,25β-tetrol (4), (25 R)-spirost-5-en-3β,7α,12β,25α-tetrol (5), and (25 R)-spirost-5-en-3β,7β,12β,24β-tetrol (6). Their structures were established on the basis of mass spectrometry and multi-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. The characteristic transformations observed were C-7α, C-7β, C-12β, C-24β, C-25α, and C-25β hydroxylation. The cytotoxicity of compounds 1–6 was evaluated against the human myelogenous leukemia K562 cell line and squamous cell carcinoma KB parental cell lines. Compounds 2–6 exhibited weak cytotoxicity against K562 and KB cells and were less potent than the parent compound 1.

Abstract
Hydroxylation is an important route to synthesize more hydrophilic compounds of pharmaceutical significance. Microbial hydroxylation offers advantages over chemical means for its high specificity. In this study, a fungal strain Alternaria alternata AS 3.4578 was found to be able to catalyze the specific 12beta-hydroxylation of a variety of cytotoxic bufadienolides. Cinobufagin and resibufogenin could be completely metabolized by A. alternata to generate their 12beta-hydroxylated products in high yields (>90%) within 8 h of incubation. A. alternata could also convert 3-epi-desacetylcinobufagin into 3-epi-12beta-hydroxyl desacetylcinobufagin as the major product (70% yield). C-3 dehydrogenated products were detected in these reactions in fair yields, while their accumulation was relatively slow. The 12beta-hydroxylation of bufadienolides could be significantly inhibited by the substitution of 1beta-, 5-, or 16alpha-hydroxyl groups, and the 14beta,15beta-epoxy ring appeared to be a necessary structural requirement for the specificity. For the biotransformation of bufalin, a 14beta-OH bufadienolide, this reaction was not specific, and accompanied by 7beta-hydroxylation as a parallel and competing metabolic route. The biotransformation products were identified by comparison with authentic samples or tentatively characterized by high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization-mass spectrometry analyses.
