Abstract
A series of 2E-furfurylidene-23-nor- and 24-nor-allobetulins has been synthesized by the Claisen-Schmidt condensation and conditions of their formation were studied in detail. It was found that among an expected 2E-furfurylidene-3-oxo-24-nor-allobetulin 4 two byproducts holding 3-oxo-4α-hydroxy- 5 and 3β,4α-dihydroxy- 6 substituents were formed, which could become the main products under the change of reaction time and amount of the base solution. Moreover, a conversion of individual 2E-furfurylidene-23-nor-3-oxo-4α-hydroxy- 5 into 2E-furfurylidene-23-nor-3β,4α-dihydroxy-derivative 6 under the treatment with the base solution was observed. An inversion of the configuration at C4 from 24-nor- to 23-nor-allobetulins for compounds 5 - 7 was proved by the NMR spectra. The probable explanation of compound 5 formation includes oxidation by atmospheric oxygen to 4-hydroperoxide, which was further transformed into 4-hydroxy-group. In the presence of the base the reduction C3(=O)-function of compound 5 occurs like Meerwein- Ponndorf-Verley reaction to give compound 6. As a result, a difference in the reactivity of native allobetulin scaffold and 24-nor-allobetulin in the Claisen-Schmidt condensation was observed and a first case of conversion 24-nor- to 23-nor-allobetulin derivatives was described.

Abstract
A series of 24-nor-allobetulin derivatives holding 3β-hydroxy-, oxime, methoxyoxime, lactame and 4-bromobenzylidene substituents have been synthesized and their differences in the NMR spectra were studied in detail. It was revealed that 3-oxo-24-nor-allobetulin loses selectivity in the reaction of oximation and forms a mixture of Z/E oximes (and methoxyoximes) in contract to the related derivatives of native scaffold (that forms only E-isomers). The screening of α-glucosidase inhibitory activity revealed that 24-nor-allobetulins are more active than allobetulins. The lead 3-oxo-24-nor-allobetulin with IC50 0.49 µM was more than 60-fold and 500-fold active than acarbose and 3-oxo-allobetulin, respectively. We can conclude that the removal of the C-24 methyl group significantly increased the antidiabetic effect and 24-nor-allobetulins should be identified as the new and promising scaffolds as α-glucosidase inhibitors on the basis of triterpenoids.

Abstract
To develop new potential agents against Chlamydia trachomatis among oleanane type triterpenoids the synthesis, spectral and X-ray analysis as well as antimicrobial screening of C-12 oxygen and nitrogen derivatives of erythrodiol is presented. The reduction of methyl 3β-acetoxy-12-oxo-oleanoate with LiAlH4 led to isomeric erythrodiol 12β- and 12α-hydroxy-derivatives, their stereochemistry with respect to the position of hydroxyl-group at C-12 was determined based on the multiplets splitting patterns, the magnitude of the spin-spin interaction, and NOESY interactions. Methyl 3β-acetoxy-12-oxo-oleanoate was transformed to 12E-hydroxyimino- and 12E-methoxyimino-derivatives by the interaction with NH2OH∙HCl or CH3ONH2∙HCl, respectively. By Beckmann rearrangement with SOCl2 in dioxane 12E-oxime was converted to C-lactame and its following reduction with LiAlH4 in THF or dioxane led to erythrodiol C-azepanone or C-azepane derivatives. The structure 3-O,12-N-bis-acetyl-derivative of C-azepane-erythrodiol was confirmed by the single crystal X-ray analysis. Erythrodiol 12β-hydroxy- and C-azepane derivatives were found to be lead compounds with significant activity against C. trachomatis with MIC 1.56 and 3.125 μg/mL. Molecular docking was employed to suggest potential binding interaction, the tested compounds are likely to act as Cdu1 protein inhibitors while 12β-hydroxy-erythrodiol exhibited the highest affinity towards this respective target protein. These results indicated that C-ring oxygen and nitrogen erythrodiol derivatives might be considered for further research in the design of antibacterial agents against Chlamydia trachomatis.

Abstract
The chalcone derivatives of 20-oxo-lupanes have been synthesised and screened for some types of biological activity. Ozonolysis of lupanes afforded 20-oxo-derivatives with the following condensation using different aromatic aldehydes by Claisen‒Schmidt reaction to the target compounds. The E configuration of 19-[3-(pyridin-3-yl)-prop-2-en-1-one]-fragment was established by X-ray analysis. Screening of cytotoxic activity against NCI-60 cancer cell line panel revealed, that messagenin derivative 9 has the highest activity with GI50 value ranged from 0.304 to 0.804 μM. A colorimetric SRB assay revealed for the 2,30-bis-furfurylidene derivative 11 and 30-bromo-20-oxo-29-nor-3,28-diacetoxy-betulin 16 cytotoxic activity against breast carcinoma MCF-7 and ovarian carcinoma A2780 cell lines. Compounds 11 and 13 acted also as inhibitors of the enzyme α-glucosidase (from S. saccharomyces) with IC50 values of 1.76 μM and 3.3 μM thus being 97- and 52-fold more active than standard acarbose. Antiviral potency of compounds 12 and 14 against HCMV, HSV-1 and HPV is also discussed.
