Methyl 20 beta-dihydroprednisolonate, a new local antiinflammatory steroid, and its ester hydrolysis product, 20 beta-dihydroprednisolonic acid, were evaluated for potential immunosuppressive actions as determined by the splenic plaque-forming cell response assay. The parent compound, prednisolone, was used as a comparative agent. All three corticosteroid agents, when administered intraperitoneally or subcutaneously by separate injections given at the same time as antigen, demonstrated significant dose-related suppression of this immunologic parameter. In a croton oil-induced inflammation test (ear challenge in mice), methyl 20 beta-dihydroprednisolonate demonstrated significant antiinflammatory effects, but only in the ear to which it was applied. The comparative drug, prednisolone, significantly reduced inflammation in the ear to which it was applied and in the contralateral ear as well. The methyl ester derivative demonstrated effective antiinflammatory activity when applied topically in the oxazolone delayed-type hypersensitivity test (ear challenge in mice). The results seen in the plaque-forming cell response are in contrast to the generally noted lack of systemic glucocorticoid actions of the steroid acid ester derivatives reported in other studies. 相似文献

Esters of prednisolone with ibuprofen and indomethacin were prepared by coupling the 21-hydroxy moiety of the glucocorticoid to the carboxylic group of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents. The local and systemic anti-inflammatory activities of the conjugates were evaluated using the cotton pellet granuloma bioassay and their topical activity evaluated by the croton oil-induced ear edema assay, in male Sprague-Dawley rats. The results indicate that these conjugates possess greater local and topical anti-inflammatory activity than prednisolone. In the subacute ear edema bioassay, the conjugates displayed no discernible untoward systemic effects, unlike prednisolone and prednisolone acetate, which elicited significant adverse systemic effects, at equipotent doses. These findings suggest that the chemical coupling of prednisolone and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents produced compounds with enhanced anti-inflammatory potencies and reduced systemic toxicities, particularly when administered topically. 相似文献

The steroidal 20-carboxamides [(20R)- and (20S)-21-(N-substituted amino)-11 beta,17,20-trihydroxy-3,21-dioxo-1,4-pregnadiene] recently have been shown to possess anti-inflammatory activity in animal models of inflammation. These N-substituted methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, and benzyl derivatives also exhibited suppressive effects on plasma corticosterone and thymus function. Generally, the (20R)-hydroxy-20-carboxamides were more potent than the corresponding (20S)-epimers. In continuing investigations on the glucocorticoid effects of these compounds, we have studied their ability to induce tyrosine aminotransferase (TAT), inhibit uptake of [3H]thymidine into DNA, and complete with [3H] dexamethasone for binding to the hepatoma tissue culture glucocorticoid receptor. Results indicated that the N-substituted methyl, ethyl, and n-propyl derivatives were full glucocorticoid agonists in the three measurements. Receptor binding affinities of the N-substituted carboxamides correlated well with their ability to induce TAT activity and to inhibit thymocyte proliferation. Structure-activity relationships indicated that the larger the N-substituent, the weaker the agonist activity in this system, and 20R isomers exhibited higher glucocorticoid agonist activity than the corresponding 20S isomers. This investigation is part of our effort to elucidate structure-activity relationships of steroidal carboxamides synthesized on the basis of the antedrug concept. 相似文献

Steroid acid esters, synthesized by modifying the 17-ketol side chain of prednisolone, were tested for their in vitro ability to stabilize heavy mitochondrial lysosomes prepared from rat liver. Membrane stabilization was determined by assessing capability of steroids to decrease extrusion of the marker enzymes (acid phosphatase, beta-glucuronidase and aryl sulfatase) from lysosomes incubated in hypo-osmotic sucrose-Tris acetate buffer. Results indicated that prednisolone (1) significantly inhibited the lysosomal release of acid phosphatase as did the new anti-inflammatory steroid, methyl 20-dihydroprednisolonate. Methyl prednisolonate exhibited weak membrane stabilization capacities and 20-dihydroprednisolonic acid, a metabolic product of methyl 20-dihydroprednisolonate, showed virtually no membrane stabilization. 相似文献

Four new derivatives of hydrocortisone, each containing in common a methyl grouping at the 16a-carbon position of the steroid molecule, have been synthesized and are being studied in human subjects. The compounds are 16a-methyl 9a-fluoroprednisolone (MK-125: hexadecadrol), 16a-methyl 9a-fluorohydrocortisone (MK-126), 16a-methylprednisolone (MK-110), and 16a-methylhydrocortisone (MK-117). Biologic tests in animals have indicated that these analogues exhibit, in varying degrees, striking alterations of several physiologic properties, including enhanced anti-inflammatory activity unassociated with corresponding disturbance of electrolyte metabolism. In the present study preliminary observations of the effects of the four new compounds were made in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Clinical estimates of the antirheumatic potencies of the compounds, as compared with prednisolone, were accomplished by determining the milligram dosages required to maintain similar degrees of improvement of active rheumatoid manifestations. The approximate antirheumatic potencies of the compounds, on an average, were gauged as follows: for 16a-methyl 9a-fluoroprednisolone, about seven times greater than prednisolone; for 16a-methyl 9a-fluorohydrocortisone, about three times greater; for 16a-methylprednisolone, approximately one-third greater; and for 16a-methylhydrocortisone, about 70 per cent that of prednisolone. In the dosage used, none of the compounds promoted discernible salt and water retention. These observations would indicate that 16a-methyl 9a-fluoroprednisolone (hexadecadrol) possesses greater anti-inflammatory potency per milligram than any steroid yet produced. The therapeutic efficiency of the compound on longterm administration is being studied. 相似文献

The systemic activities of methyl 20-dihydroprednisolonate (1), a new local anti-inflammatory steroid synthesized by modifying the 17β-ketol side-chain of prednisolone, on pituitary-adrenal function and liver glycogen content were investigated in rats. The parent compound, prednisolone, administered intramuscularly, caused a significant doserelated decrease in plasma levels of corticosterone, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), and liver glycogen content in rats. In contrast, methyl 20-dihydroprednisolonate caused mild PA suppression and liver glycogen depletion only at high doses. The steroid acid ester did not exert glycogenic activity, unlike prednisolone, in the adrenalectomized rats. 相似文献

Epimers at C-20 of methyl 11beta,17alpha,20-trihydroxy-3-oxo-1,4-pregnadien-21-oates, their 9alpha-fluoro analogs, their carbonate derivatives, and their acetonide derivatives were subjected to metabolism study in rat plasma and rat liver homogenate. These steroids were synthesized based on the antedrug concept. In rat plasma, the carboxy ester bonds of 20beta-triols and their acetonides were hydrolyzed with half-lives (T(1/2)) of between 5.7 and 7.7 min, while their corresponding alpha-epimers had longer half-lives of more than 2.5 h. A more profound difference was observed between the alpha- and beta-epimers of the carbonates, with the latter showing a T(1/2) less than 1 min (0.3 and 0.43 min for P20beta- and PF20beta-carbonate, respectively), while that of the former about 3 h (165 min for P20alpha-carbonate and 191 min for PF20alpha-carbonate). In rat liver homogenate, the triol and acetonide derivatives showed greater stability than they did in rat plasma, with T(1/2) for the beta-group in the range of 54-108 min, and T(1/2) for the alpha-group over 7 h. A significant difference in hydrolysis of the carbonate derivatives was also observed in rat liver homogenate. The half-lives of P20beta- and PF20beta-carbonate were 0.67 and 0.66 min, respectively, and the alpha-isomers showed the similar metabolic rate with other alpha-isomers. An esterase inhibitor effectively blocked the hydrolysis of the ester bond, indicating that this metabolism is an enzymatic reaction. Molecular modeling studies show that steric hindrance around the ester group of the alpha-epimers is much greater than that of their beta-counterparts, affording one explanation for the large difference in the metabolic hydrolysis rate; i.e. the carboxy ester bond of beta-isomer which is less hindered sterically than their counter alpha-isomers is hydrolyzed faster than that of alpha-isomers. In conclusion, this study confirms that chirality at C-20 had profound effects on metabolism and pharmacological profile of the steroid acid ester derivatives. 相似文献

Twelve 17-(2'-oxazolyl)- and 17-(2'-thiazolyl)-androsta-5,16-diene derivatives were designed and synthesized from 3 beta-acetoxy-pregna-5,16-dien-20-one (1b) as inhibitors of 17 alpha-hydroxylase-C(17,20)-lyase (P450(17 alpha)). Potent inhibitors of this enzyme could be of value as treatment of prostate cancer. Two substituents (methyl and phenyl) were introduced either at their 4'- or 5'-position in order to investigate their structure-activity relationship. Due to the 16,17-double bond, 17-thiazoles were generally obtained in low yield. The pharmacological results showed that the compounds containing 17-(2'-oxazolyl) (14c) and 17-(2'-thiazolyl) (8c) (41.5%) demonstrated reasonable inhibition against P450(17 alpha). Their 3-acetate (13c and 7c) were less potent than their 3-OH counterparts. The introduction of a phenyl or methyl group generally decreased inhibitory activity. Surprisingly, 17-(5'-methyl-2'-thiazolyl) (12a) was the most potent compound in this series and was almost as potent as L-39, which has good antitumor activity. 相似文献

We have previously shown that human subjects metabolize the 20 beta-epimer of isocortisol (11 beta, 17,20 beta-trihydroxy-3-oxo-pregn-4-en-21-al) to both 20 alpha- and 20 beta-hydroxy steroid end products. In this paper we describe the synthesis of tritium labeled 20 alpha-epimers of isocortisol and isoTHF (3 alpha, 11 beta, 17,20 alpha-tetrahydroxy-5 beta-pregnan-21-al) and their metabolic fate in humans. Both steroids yielded 20 alpha-hydroxy urinary neutral end-products (cortols and cortolones) and no 20 beta-hydroxy epimers. Regeneration of 17-ketols from aldols occurred to a small extent with isoTHF, but not with isocortisol. Isocortisol and isoTHF yielded less cortoic acids than did the corresponding ketols. The results provide further evidence that in man the stereochemistry at C-20 of the end-products of corticosteroid metabolism is determined by the configuration of the aldol at C-20 prior to subsequent metabolic events. 相似文献

This communication describes the synthesis and in vitro PDE4 inhibitory activity of a novel series of imidazol-2-one and 2-cyanoiminoimidazole derivatives. The compounds described were also tested in in vivo models to evaluate their anti-inflammatory activity after topical administration as well as their gastro-intestinal side effects. Several compounds proved to be potent PDE4 inhibitors and some 2-cyanoiminoimidazoles showed less pronounced gastro-intestinal side effects than reference compounds but maintained anti-inflammatory activity after topical administration. 相似文献

To a series of 21-desoxy-21-chloro-corticosteroids, a metabolically labile methoxycarbonyl group at C-16 has been incorporated. The approach is to synthesize locally active compounds that are hydrolyzed to inactive and readily excretable acid metabolites upon entry into the systemic circulation. Novel antedrugs were evaluated for anti-inflammatory activity and their adverse effects in an acute and semichronic croton oil-induced ear edema bioassay. Binding affinity to glucocorticoid receptors and induction of L-tyrosine-2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase were studied in hepatoma tissue culture cells. After a single topical application in the croton oil-induced ear edema bioassay, treatment with all the compounds resulted in dose-dependent inhibition of edema. From these dose-response profiles, the following ID(50) values (nmol/ear resulting in a 50% reduction of edema) were calculated: 540, 618, 454, and 346 nmol for prednisolone (P), methyl 21-desoxy-21-chloro-11beta,17alpha-dihydroxy-3,20-dioxo-1, 4-pregnadien-16alpha-carboxylate (PClCM), methyl 21-desoxy-21-chloro-11beta,17alpha-dihydroxy-9alpha-fl uoro-3, 20-dioxo-1,4-pregnadien-16alpha-carboxylate (FPClCM), and methyl 21-desoxy-21-chloro-9alpha-fluoro-11beta-hydroxy-3,20-dioxo- 1, 4-pregnadien-16alpha-carboxylate (FDPClCM), respectively. Results of the 5-day rat croton oil ear edema bioassay indicated that, in contrast with the parent compound P, the novel steroidal antedrugs did not significantly alter body weight gain, thymus weights, or plasma corticosterone levels. The binding affinities for cytosolic hepatoma tissue culture glucocorticoid receptors were 33, 201, 471, 5304, and 3765 nM for P, PClCM, FPClCM, methyl 21-desoxy-21-chloro-11beta-hydroxy-3,20-dioxo-1, 4-pregnadien-16alpha-carboxylate (DPClCM), and FDPClCM, respectively. Collectively, results of these investigations suggest that modifications of P, which included replacement of 21-hydroxyl group with chlorine and addition of 16-methoxycarbonyl group with or without 17-hydroxyl moiety, retained the topical anti-inflammatory activity of the parent compound P without significant adverse systemic effects. 相似文献

Inhibition of human adrenal steroidogenic enzymes in vitro by imidazole drugs including ketoconazole 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effect of several imidazole containing drugs including keto on human adrenal 17 alpha-hydroxylase, 17,20-lyase, 21-hydroxylase, 11 beta-hydroxylase and 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase-isomerase (3 beta-HSD-I) activities was studied in vitro. The order of decreasing inhibitory potency as determined from ID50 values for both 17 alpha-hydroxylase (ID50 values ranged from 1.13-4.17 mumol/l) and 17,20-lyase (0.57-1.95 mumol/l) activities was: bifon greater than clot greater than keto greater than micon greater than econ greater than isocon greater than tiocon. Using [3H]progesterone (5.50-12.25 mumol/l) as the substrate for the 21-hydroxylase activity the order of decreasing inhibitory potency was: clot greater than bifon greater than isocon greater than micon greater than tiocon greater than econ greater than tiocon greater than keto. For the 11 beta-hydroxylation of [3H]deoxycortisol (1.48-2.34 mumol/l) the order of decreasing inhibitory potency was keto greater than bifon greater than clot greater than micon greater than econ greater than isocon greater than tiocon. The cytochrome P-450 dependent enzyme most sensitive to inhibition was 17,20-lyase and the least sensitive was 21-hydroxylase whereas the imidazole drugs were without effect on the cytochrome P-450 independent 3 beta-HSD-I activity. In agreement with previous results a common structural feature of the imidazole drugs having an inhibitory effect was the presence of aromatic rings on the N-1 substituent of the imidazole ring. 相似文献

Structure and activity relationships of novel uracil derivatives as topical anti-inflammatory agents
Isobe Y Tobe M Inoue Y Isobe M Tsuchiya M Hayashi H 《Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry》2003,11(23):4933-4940
In order to create novel, topical anti-inflammatory compounds exhibiting more potent activities than lead compound CX-659S (1), we designed and synthesized various derivatives of 1 focusing on the uracil N(1)- and N(3)-substituents, and evaluated their anti-inflammatory activities via inhibition of the picryl chloride-induced contact hypersensitivity reaction (CHR) in mice. In the course of our structure and activity relationship study, we found that compounds 6k, 6q, and 6r inhibited by approximately 50% the CHR, at 0.1 mg/ear. These activities were essentially equipotent with that of Tacrolimus, a strong immunosuppressant. 相似文献

The cytochrome P-450 of gonadal microsomes is an integral component of the steroid converting enzymes, 17 alpha-hydroxylase and 17,20-lyase. Interaction of the steroid substrates with this cytochrome results in a shift in the Soret band as measured by difference spectroscopy. In these studies it is shown that in contrast to placental microsomal cytochrome P-450 which binds C19 steroids, testis microsomal cytochrome P-450 primarily binds C21 steroids. However, addition of a 17 alpha- methyl, 17 beta-acetate or a 17 beta-benzoate group to testosterone permits interaction. The addition of hydroxyl or methyl groups to other positions does not affect binding. The presence of multiple oxygen functions on C21 steroids, as in cortisol and corticosterone, precludes interaction. At least one oxygen function seems necessary for binding as 5 alpha- and 5 beta-pregnane do not bind whereas 20-deoxypregnenolone (5-pregnen-3 beta-ol) does bind. These findings indicate that factors in addition to hydrophobic interactions dictate the binding of steroid substrates to testis microsomal cytochrome P-450. 相似文献

The metabolic fates of 4-14C- and 21-3H-labelled corticosteroids have been investigated in the rabbit by analysis of the normalized isotope ratios of neutral and acidic metabolites excreted in the urine. Isotope ratios of excreted radioactivity declined in the order cortisol (F) greater than corticosterone (B) greater than 11-desoxycortisol (S) greater than deoxycorticosterone (DOC). Steroid acids, isolated in alumina fraction C, represented 19.0, 15.0, 9.7 and 2.7% of the doses of DOC, B, S and F, respectively, and the isotope ratios declined in the order F greater than B greater than S greater than DOC. HPLC of steroid acid methyl ester derivatives indicated generally low isotope ratios for DOC and S steroid acids, consistent with complete side-chain oxidation to 20-oxo-21-oic acids and/or 17-carboxylic acids. Several B metabolite methyl esters peaks also exhibited low isotope ratios, but both B and F metabolites gave methyl esters that retained significant tritium consistent with the presence of 20-hydroxysteroid acids. The 21-hydroxy-steroid metabolite fractions had isotope ratios of F = S greater than B greater than DOC. HPLC showed that 20-oxo (tetrahydro) metabolites of B and F had reduced isotope ratios unlike the C-20 reduced (hexahydro) metabolites of DOC and S. It may be concluded that the metabolic fate of the corticoid side-chain in the rabbit is dependent on the steroid structure and may result in the excretion of both 20-oxo and 20-hydroxysteroid acids. 相似文献

In an effort to determine the C-20 chirality effect on the antiinflammatory activity of 17beta-glycolate esters, methyl 11beta,17alpha,20-trihydroxy-3-oxo-1,4-pregnadien-21-oate and its 9alpha-fluoro analog, their acetonide and their carbonate derivatives were synthesized and evaluated. The agents were tested for their binding potency to the macrophage glucocorticoid receptor, and their effect on LPS-induced nitric oxide generation in RAW 264.7 cells. The acetonide derivatives showed the highest binding affinity while the triols and carbonates bound rather poorly to the receptors. With the exception of the triols, the alpha-isomer in each pair of the agents exhibited higher binding affinity to the receptor than its corresponding beta-isomer, clearly indicating that C-20 chirality has a significant effect on antiinflammatory activity. In addition, the alpha-isomers of the acetonides showed substantially higher binding affinity than the parent compound, prednisolone. In contrast to the high binding activity exhibited by some of the acetonides, all of the agents showed weak inhibitory effect on NO generation. Metabolic inactivation during assessment of NO inhibition may play a role in the divergence noted between receptor affinity and the measured biologic activity resulting from the binding. 相似文献

Amphiphilic chitosan-based polymers (Mw < 20 kDa) self-assemble in aqueous media at low micromolar concentrations to give previously unknown micellar clusters of 100-300 nm in size. Micellar clusters comprise smaller 10-30 nm aggregates, and the nanopolarity/drug incorporation efficiency of their hydrophobic domains can be tailored by varying the degree of lipidic derivatization and molecular weight of the carbohydrate. The extent of drug incorporation by these novel micellar clusters is 1 order of magnitude higher than is seen with triblock copolymers, with molar polymer/drug ratios of 1:48 to 1:67. On intravenous injection, the pharmacodynamic activity of a carbohydrate propofol formulation is increased by 1 order of magnitude when compared to a commercial emulsion formulation, and on topical ocular application of a carbohydrate prednisolone formulation, initial drug aqueous humor levels are similar to those found with a 10-fold dose of prednisolone suspension. 相似文献

Prednisolone, a synthetic adrenal corticosteroid drug, is known to have anti-inflammatory and autoimmune activity. Biotransformation of prednisolone was carried out to obtain more bioactive prednisolone derivatives. Among six different fungi, Penicillium aurantiacum proved to be the best prednisolone hydroxylator. As a result of prednisolone biotransformation by P. aurantiacum, whole cells four different prednisolone derivatives were investigated. 20β-Hydroxyprednisolone (1) and 21,21-dimethoxy-11β-hydroxypregn-1,4-dien-3,20-dione (2) were detected as the main metabolites. These metabolites together with other two metabolites, 11β-hydroxyandrost-1,4-dien-3,17-dione (3) and 11β,17β-dihydroxyandrost-1,4-dien-3- one (4), were purified and assigned by an interpretation of their spectral data using mass spectroscopy (MS), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR), carbon nuclear magnetic resonance (13C-NMR) and infrared spectroscopy (IR) analyses. The best fermentation conditions for production of compounds 1–4 were as follows: medium (3) consisting of (g/l): glucose 20; l-asparagine 0.7; MgSO4.7H2O 0.5; KH2PO4 1.52; KCl 0.52; Cu (NO3)2 traces; ZnSO4.7H2O traces, supplemented with prednisolone concentration of 0.3?mg/ml, inoculated by 10% of microorganism and incubated for 72?h. Under these optimized conditions, ~94.8% of the added prednisolone was converted to aforementioned derivatives, which have the potential to be used in industrial production of important pharmaceutical compounds. 相似文献
