Abstract: | The facile synthesis of six 17(20)Z]- and 17(20)E]-isomeric 3β-hydroxy-pregna-5,17(20)-dien-21-oyl amides and three 17(20)E]-3β-hydroxy-2-prergna-5,17(20)-dien-20-yl]-oxazolines from pregnenolone is presented. The synthetic scheme consists of transformation of pregnenolone into the known 17α-bromo-21-iodo-3β-acetoxypregn-5-en-20-one followed by reaction with ethanolamine, 2-methyl-2-aminopropanol, and (1-aminocyclohexyl)methanol resulted in mixture of 17(20)E]- and 17(20)Z]-pregna-5,17(20)-dien-21-(2-hydroxy)-oyl amides; separation of 17(20)E]- and 17(20)Z]-isomers; their cyclization into 17(20)E]-oxazolines under action of POCl(3) in pyridine, and removal of acetate protecting groups. Significantly different orientation of nitrogen containing substituents in 17(20)Z]- and 17(20)E]-isomers regarding to steroid backbone enables their configuration to be easily identified by NMR spectroscopy. All synthesized compounds did not exhibit marked toxic effects in three cell lines (MCF-7, Hep G2, and LNCaP). In androgen-sensitive LNCaP cells all testing compounds at concentrations of 50 nM potently stimulated proliferation. |
