Abstract
A four-step synthesis of five- and six-membered E/F ring spiroethers from tigogenin has been developed. An efficient strategy that features bis-Grignard reaction of dinorcholanic lactone with appropriate bis(bromomagnesio)alkanes followed by acid-mediated spirocyclization was employed to construct a new class of steroid compounds having E and F ring junction as an oxa-carbacyclic system. The synthesized carbaanalogs interact with liposomes and albumin, and also exhibit antibacterial and antifungal activity, demonstrating their pharmacological potential.

Abstract
The first and asymmetric total synthesis of bioactive bufospirostenin A, an unusual spirostanol with rearranged A/B rings, was accomplished. The synthetically challenging [5-7-6-5] tetracyclic ring system, found in bufospirostenin A and some other natural products, was efficiently constructed by the unique intramolecular rhodium-catalyzed Pauson-Khand reaction of an alkoxyallene-yne. The 11 stereocenters in the final product, including the 10 contiguous stereocenters, were installed diastereoselectively.

Abstract
In the plant kingdom, steroidal lactones occur as glycosides, compounds consisting of a sugar moiety linked to a steroid aglycone. Steroidal lactones consist of five fused rings, with a total of 22 carbon atoms. Numerous methods for the preparation of steroidal lactones take advantage of the fact that steroid spirostanes may be degraded from six- to a five-rings structure. One of the most striking features common to reactions of steroid sapogenins is the C22-lactone formation. In the review, different methods for the preparation of steroidal lactones are presented with consideration of the structure of starting material. In addition, examples of lactones used in the synthesis of biologically active compounds and their analogues are described.

Abstract
An efficient synthesis of F-homosolasodine analogues containing the 5/7 spirohemiaminal moiety was elaborated. The method benefited from an easy opening of diosgenin F-ring and the introduction of a cyano group in position 26.
