- Isolation and structural characterization of degradation products of finasteride by preparative HPLC, HRMS and 2D NMR
-
Finasteride is a 5-α-reductase inhibitor with a steroidal skeleton and an amide group in its structure. It was subjected to forced degradation to observe its stability under stress conditions according to ICH guidelines. It was found to be stable to base and peroxide. However, in acid medium, three degradation products were observed. All of them were isolated from the reaction mixture by preparative HPLC. Their structures were elucidated by extensive analysis of 1D, 2D NMR spectra and HRMS. To best of our knowledge, none of them have been reported elsewhere.

- Production process of high-purity dutasteride
-
The invention discloses a purification production process of high-purity dutasteride. The problems to be solved are that the purity of the dutasteride is improved while the production cost is reduced.According to the method, after a dutasteride crude product is obtained, twice crystallization is carried out, so that the dutasteride with high yield and high purity can be obtained. The production process provided by the invention has the advantages of high efficiency and clean production, and the operability is high. An intermediate is refined, so that the quality of the dutasteride finished product is more easily controlled, the purity of the obtained dutasteride product is not lower than 99.5%, and any single impurity in the product is not higher than 0. 1%.

- PROCESS FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF (5α,17β)-N-[(2,5-BIS(TRIFLUOROMETHYL)-PHENYL]-3-OXO-4-AZA-5-ANDROST-1-ENE-17-CARBOXAMIDE
-
The synthesis consists of reaction steps as follows: oxidizing the α,β-unsaturated ketone system of ring "A" of pregn-4-ene-3,20-dion- of formula (II) with sodium metaperiodate in tert-butanol in the presence of potassium permanganate and alkali metal carbonate, reacting the obtained 3,5-seco acid with an ester of chloroformic acid in the presence of tertier organic base below 0°C, reacting the obtained new compound after isolation or without isolation with ammonia or ammonium acetate, cyclization of the resulting carboxamides with an acid, cathalytic hydrogenating the obtained ene lactame, and oxidizing the side chain at position 17 of the obtained pregnane compound with an alkali metal hypobromide in aqueous dioxane below 10°C. Thereafter on one hand the obtained (5α,17β)-3-oxo-4-aza-5-androstane-17-carboxylic acid is reacted with chloroformic acid ester, the obtained new compound is reacted with 2,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)-aniline in the presence of a Lewis acid, the obtained amide is reacted with trimethyl chlorosilane in inert atmosphere in the presence of Ν,Ν,Ν',Ν'-tetramethyl-ethylendiamine, then en excess iodine is added to the reaction mixture and the product of the iodination reaction is crystallized from acetonitrile, then the obtained 2-iodo-3-oxo-4-aza-17β-carboxamide is reacted with potassium tert-butylate to furnish final product. On the other hand, (5α,17β)-3-oxo-4-aza-5-androstane-17-carboxylic acid is transformed into methylester by known method, this latter is transformed into methyl (2α,5α,17β)-2-iodo-3-oxo-4-aza-5-androstane-17-carboxylate according to known method, the obtained compound is reacted with potassium-tert-butylate, the obtained (5α,17β)-3-oxo-4-aza-5-androst-1-ene-17-carboxylic acid is reacted with an ester of chloroformic acid, then the obtained new compound is coupled with 2,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)-aniline in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst to gain final product.

- Azasteroids: Structure-activity relationships for inhibition of 5α-reductase and of androgen receptor binding
-
A series of steroids, primarily 4-azasteroids, were prepared and tested in vitro as inhibitors of human and rat prostatic 5α-reductase and of binding of dihydrotestosterone to the rat androgen receptor. The primary structural modifications were changes of the A ring and of moieties attached at the C-17 position of the steroid nucleus. New A-ring modifications included 4-cyano-3-oxoΔ4 system in the carbocyclic series and 1α-CN, 1α-CH3, 1α,2α-CH2, 2β-F, 2-aza, 2-oxa, and A-homo changes in the 3-oxo-4-aza series. In addition, 4-azasteroids with a D-homo ring or methyl substitution at C-7 (α and β) or C-16 (α and β) were prepared. The majority of the C-17 substituents were prepared from reactive intermediates derived from the 17β-COOH. Enhanced 5α-reductase inhibition in both the human and rat enzyme assays is seen with 4-CN substitution on 3-oxo-Δ4 steroids and with a C-17 side chain incorporating a lipophilically substituted semipolar group on the 4-aza-3-oxo-5α-androstane nucleus. Fewer highly active compounds were found in the human enzyme assay than in the rat assay. Structural requirements for inhibition of the rat androgen receptor are much different from those for inhibition of the enzyme. The 17β-OH moiety enhances potency more than any other feature while introduction of double bonds at C-1 or C-5 in the azasteroid gives a small improvement. Azasteroids unsubstituted at the 4-position show greatly diminished receptor activity.
