Long-acting contraceptive agents: in vitro hydrolysis of esters of norethisterone and levonorgestrel
The hydrolysis of 108 esters of norethisterone (17 alpha-ethynyl-17 beta-hydroxyestr-4-en-3-one) was studied in vitro using a rabbit liver preparation. Introduction of a double or triple bond into a straight-chain ester did not inhibit hydrolysis but a marked reduction in hydrolysis was produced on replacement of a methylene group by an oxygen atom. Hydrolysis was inhibited by substituents at C2 of the ester chain except in short chain esters. Cyclopropylcarboxylate and cyclobutylcarboxylate were readily hydrolysed and introduction of a furan ring into the side-chain did not affect hydrolysis. No hydrolysis occurred with a cholesteryl carbonate ester or with a pentamethyldisilyloxy ether. Forty-nine esters of levonorgestrel (13 beta-ethyl-17 alpha-ethynyl-17 beta-hydroxygon-4-en-3-one) were also studied. In general, the pattern of hydrolysis for these esters was similar to that of the norethisterone esters. However, with few exceptions the levonorgestrel esters were hydrolyzed more slowly. For those esters for which information regarding the biological activity was available, there was no correlation between the potency of the esters and their rate of hydrolysis in vitro. 相似文献

The microbial transformation of the 17alpha-ethynyl-17beta-hydroxyandrost-4-en-3-one (1) (ethisterone) and 17alpha-ethyl-17beta-hydroxyandrost-4-en-3-one (2) by the fungi Cephalosporium aphidicola and Cunninghamella elegans were investigated. Incubation of compound 1 with C. aphidicola afforded oxidized derivative, 17alpha-ethynyl-17beta-hydroxyandrosta-1,4-dien-3-one (3), while with C. elegans afforded a new hydroxy derivative, 17alpha-ethynyl-11alpha,17beta-dihydroxyandrost-4-en-3-one (4). On the other hand, the incubation of compound 2 with the fungus C. aphidicola afforded 17alpha-ethyl-17beta-hydroxyandrosta-1,4-dien-3-one (5). Two new hydroxylated derivatives, 17alpha-ethyl-11alpha,17beta-dihydroxyandrost-4-en-3-one (6) and 17alpha-ethyl-6alpha,17beta-dihydroxy-5alpha-androstan-3-one (7) were obtained from the incubation of compound 2 with C. elegans. Compounds 1-6 exhibited tyrosinase inhibitory activity, with compound 6 being the most potent member (IC(50)=1.72 microM). 相似文献

Following the development and widespread use of oral hormonal contraceptives, it became evident that alternative long-acting delivery systems would be required to improve contraceptive practice in some cultural settings where injectable or subdermal routes of administration are preferred. Nowadays, long-acting contraceptives constitute an important option in family planning services in many parts of the world. Indeed, two long-acting injectable contraceptives containing just a synthetic progestogen (depot-medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) and norethisterone enantate (NET-EN)) have been in clinical practice for more than 20 years. The World Health Organization's (WHO) Special Programme of Research in Human Reproduction, in collaboration with the U.S. National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and universities primarily in developing countries undertook a synthesis programme aimed at producing an improved injectable preparation by developing new derivatives of known steroids. One such compound (levonorgestrel 17-butanoate) is now at the stage of Phase II clinical testing. In addition, the Special Programme has developed and improved once-a-month injectable formulations and assessed their safety and efficacy in diferent countries worldwide. After large scale clinical testing, at least two prgestogen-estrogen combinations have reached the point of introductory trials. 相似文献

Esters of levonorgestrel (13β-ethyl-17α-ethynyl-17β-hydroxygon-4-en -3-one) with a variety of aliphatic and alicyclic carboxylic acids have been prepared and characterised. In tests for the suppression of estrus in rats, esters with short-chain aliphatic acids and with cyclobutane-carboxylic acid were considerably more active than the standard, norethisterone enanthate (17α-ethynyl-17β-hydroxyestr-4-en-3-one). Such esters show great promise for development as long-acting progestogens. 相似文献

The synthesis of eighteen esters of norethisterone (17 alpha-ethynyl-17 beta-hydroxyestr-4-en-3-one) is described. These all possess some form of alpha- and/or beta-substitution in the ester side-chain. The work was undertaken in order to evaluate any long-acting fertility control effect intrinsic in such compounds. A pentamethyl disiloxy ether was also included in the group of substances prepared for testing because of its similar substitution pattern. 相似文献

9 alpha-Hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione 1, when allowed to react with dipotassium acetylide in tetrahydrofuran, resulted, after chromatographic separation, in 4-methyl-19-norandrosta-4,9-diene-1,17-dione 2, 4 xi-methyl-19-norandrosta-5(10),9(11)-diene-1,17-dione 3, 4-methyl-17 alpha-ethynyl-17 beta-hydroxy-19-norandrosta-4,9-dien-1-one 4, 4 xi-methyl-17 alpha-ethynyl-17 beta-hydroxy-19-norandrosta-5(10),9(11)-dien- 1-one 5, and 17 alpha-ethynyl-17 beta-hydroxy-9,10-secoandrost-4-ene-3,9-dione 6. Selective protection of delta 4-3-ketone of 9 alpha-hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione 1 as its dienol methyl ether 7, and subsequent reaction with lithium acetylide-ethylenediamine followed by acidic hydrolysis, afforded 9 alpha,17 beta-dihydroxy-17 alpha- ethynylandrost-4-en-3-one 8. 相似文献

A large number of esters of norethisterone (17α-ethynyl-17β-hydroxyestr-4-en-3-one) and levonorgestrel (D-(-)-13β-ethyl-17α-ethynyl-17β-hydroxygon-4-en-3-one) were synthesized and tested for biological activity. The test employed in these studies was the duration of estrus suppression in cycling mature rats. In the norethisterone series several esters exhibited duration of activity comparable to that of norethisterone enarthate. In the levonorgestrel series the butanoic, cyclobutylcarboxylic and cyclopropylcarboxylic esters were longer acting than medroxyprogesterone acetate (17α-acetoxy-6α-methylpregn-4-ene-3, 20-dione) when prepared as aqueous microcrystalline suspensions. 相似文献

The preparation of three carbonates and two carbamates of norethisterone (17 alpha-ethynyl-17 beta-hydroxyestr-4-en-3-one) are described. Due to instability of the carbonates and the very low solubility of the carbamates these compounds could not be submitted to biological testing. 相似文献

The synthesis of ten esters and two ethers of testosterone (17 beta-hydroxyandrost-4-en-3-one) is described. All these possess some form of alpha - and/or beta - substitution in the ester/ether side-chain. The work was undertaken in order to evaluate the long-acting antifertility effect of such compounds in males. 相似文献

The subcellular distribution of the enzymes involved in the metabolism of norethynodrel (17 alpha-ethynyl-17 beta-hydroxy-estr-5(10)-en-3-one) to the 3alpha and 3beta diols (17 alpha-ethynyl-3alpha (or 3beta-17 beta-dihydroxy-estr-5(10)-ene) and 17 alpha-ethinyl estradiol was studied. The purity of the male rat liver subcellular fractions was evaluated by the use of marker enzymes. Sample sections were viewed by electron microscopy. The data showed that the cytosol fraction contained the highest relative specific activity for the hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases required for the formation of the diols. The cytosol fraction also contained the highest total activity. The enzymes required for the formation of ethinyl estradiol were distributed equally among mitochondrial and microsomal fractions, however, the highest relative specific activity was associated with the heavy microsomal fraction (18,000 g). 相似文献

Practical routes to 9 alpha-hydroxypregnenes were developed by epimerization and hydration of 17 alpha-ethynyl-9 alpha,17 beta-dihydroxyandrost-4-en-3-one. In the three different methods of epimerization which were used, the C-9 alpha hydroxy group was not susceptible to rearrangement or other side reactions. C-21 functionalized 9 alpha-hydroxypregnenes were obtained by introducing a 17 alpha-halogenated ethynyl group into 9 alpha-hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione. Epimerization and hydration by the 17 beta-nitrooxy method produced 21-halogenated 9 alpha-hydroxypregnenes, which were further converted into 21-acetoxy-9 alpha-hydroxypregn-4-ene-3,20-dione. 相似文献

A mechanism is proposed for mixed-function oxidase-catalyzed formation of the catechol estrogens 2-hydroxy- and 4-hydroxyestradiol from estradiol. This mechanism involves nonaromatic epoxyenones as intermediates. The isomeric 1 alpha,2 alpha-epoxy-17 beta-hydroxyestr-4-en-3-one and 1 beta,2 beta-epoxy-17 beta-hydroxyestr-4-en-3-one (the latter as its 17-acetate) were synthesized from 17 beta-hydroxy-5 alpha-estran-3-one. The isomeric 4 alpha,5 alpha-epoxy-17 beta-hydroxyestr-1-en-3-one and 4 beta,5 beta-epoxy-17 beta-hydroxyestr-1-en-3-one were prepared from 19-nortestosterone. From incubations of [6,7-3H]estradiol with microsomes from MCF-7 human breast cancer cells, which principally catalyze the formation of 2-hydroxyestradiol from estradiol, we were able to isolate a 3H-labeled product with the chromatographic properties of 1 beta, 2 beta-epoxy-17 beta-hydroxyestr-4-en-3-one (as its 17-acetate). The soluble protein fraction of homogenates of rat liver, which is devoid of estrogen 2-/4-hydroxylase activity, has been shown to catalyze the formation of 2- and 4-hydroxyestradiol from the 1 alpha,2 alpha-epoxide and from the 4 alpha,5 alpha- and 4 beta,5 beta-epoxides, respectively. We suggest that these results taken together strongly support a role for epoxyenones as intermediates in the formation of catechol estrogens. 相似文献

Unsaturated analogues of androst-4-en-17 beta-ol-3-one, each with a 17 alpha-iodoethynyl or 17 alpha-(2-iodoethenyl) substituent, were prepared, and their relative binding affinities (RBAs) for androgen-binding protein (ABP) were compared with those of 5 alpha-androstan-17 beta-ol-3-one, androst-4-en-17 beta-ol-3-one, androsta-4,6-dien-17 beta-ol-3-one, and androsta-1,4,6-trien-17 beta-ol-3-one. These binding studies indicate that the iodine[125I] analogues of 17 alpha-iodoethynyl and 17 alpha-[(E)-2-iodoethenyl] derivatives of androsta-4,6-dien-17 beta-ol-3-one and androsta-1,4,6-trien-17 beta-ol-3-one will have RBAs at least twice as great as that of 5 alpha-androstan-17 beta-ol-3-one. They can be prepared from 17 alpha-ethynylandrosta-4-en-17 beta-ol-3-one, the final synthetic step using N-[125I]iodosuccinimide, and are potential radioiodinated, active site-directed photoaffinity ligands for ABP and testosterone-binding globulin. 相似文献

The ring contraction of 18α-mesyloxy-20α-hydroxy-18,20-cyclopregn-4-en-3-one (Ib) and 18α-mesyloxy-20α-hydroxy-21-acetyloxy-18,20-cyclo-pregn-4-en-3-one (Id) took place upon exposure to Florisil at 25 °C, producing 18α-acetyl-17,18-cycloandrost-4-en-3-one IIa) and 18α-acetox-yacety1-17, 18-cycloandrost-4-en-3-one (IIb) respectively. A similar ring contraction of 18α,20α-dihydroxy-18,20-cyclopregn-4-en-3-one (Ia) took place upon electron impact. Deuterium labeling demonstrated that the first steps of mass spectral fragmentation of Ia were the rearrangement to IIa and the oxidative cleavage to 3,18,20-trioxo-4-pregnene (IVa). 相似文献

The potential for biotransformation of the substrate 17β-hydroxyandrost-4-en-3-one (testosterone) by six filamentous fungi, namely, Rhizopus oryzae ATCC 11145, Mucor plumbeus ATCC 4740, Cunninghamella echinulata var. elegans ATCC 8688a, Aspergillus niger ATCC 9142, Phanerochaete chrysosporium ATCC 24725 and Whetzelinia sclerotiorum ATCC 18687, was investigated. In this study both free cells and macerated mycelia immobilised in calcium alginate were utilised and the results (products, % yields, % transformation) were compared. In general the encapsulated cells of the microorganisms effectively generated products similar to those found using free cells. However, with immobilised macerated mycelia, isolation of the transformation products was expedited by the simple work up procedure, and their purification was facilitated by the absence of fungal secondary metabolites. Twenty seven analogues of testosterone were generated, wherein the androstane skeleton was functionalised at C-1β, -2β, -6β, -7α, -11α, -14, -15α, -15β and -16β by the moulds. Redox chemistry was also observed. Seven of the analogues, 6β,11α,17β-trihydroxyandrost-4-en-3-one, 6β,14α,17β-trihydroxyandrost-4-en-3-one, 2,6β-dihydroxyandrosta-1,4-diene-3,17-dione, 2β,16β-dihydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione, 2β,6β-dihydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione, 2β,15β,17β-trihydroxyandrost-4-en-3-one and 2β,3α,17β-trihydroxyandrost-4-ene, were novel compounds. Five others, namely, 7α,17β-dihydroxyandrost-4-en-3-one, 6β,14α-dihydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione, 15α,17β-dihydroxyandrost-4-en-3-one, 16β,17α-dihydroxyandrost-4-en-3-one and 2β,16β,17β-trihydroxyandrost-4-en-3-one, were fully characterised for the first time. 相似文献
