- Synthesis of 19-hydroxypregn-4-en-20-one and 19-hydroxy-5β-pregn-3-en-20-one that selectively bind to membrane progesterone receptors, and assessment of their immunomodulatory effects
-
A new approach to the synthesis of isomeric 19-hydroxypregn-4-en-20-one (1) and 19-hydroxy-5β-pregn-3-en-20-one (2), the selective ligands of membrane progesterone receptors, in a ratio of 1.5:1 is presented. The effect of these steroids on the gene expression of several cytokines (TNFα, IL-1β, IL-6, and TGFβ) in K562 cells was studied. Progesterone and compound 1 acted unidirectionally, significantly decreasing the TGFβ mRNA levels in these cells. The highest activity was exhibited by compound 2 which regulated the expression of the three studied genes, increasing the level of TNFα mRNA and IL-1β mRNA and decreasing the level of TGFβ mRNA. The immunomodulatory effect of the synthesized selective ligands of membrane progesterone receptors found in K562 cells is comparable (for 1) or even surpasses (for 2) the effect of a natural hormone.

- New Syntheses of 19,21-Dihydropregn-4-ene-3,20-dione, 21-Hydroxy-19-norpregn-4-ene-3,20-dione, and 11β,19,21-trihydroxypregn-4-ene-3,20-dione
-
19,21-Dihydroxypregn-4-ene-3,20-dione has been synthesized from 3β-acetoxypregn-5-en-20-one via the "hypoiodite reaction" , and Henbest acetoxylation at C-21; oxidation of the intermediate 21-monoacetate to 19-oxo derivative and alkaline cleavage gave 21-hydroxy-19-norpregn-4-ene-3,20-dione.A similar synthesis of 11β,19,21-trihydroxypregn-4-ene-3,20-dione from 3β-acetoxypregn-5-ene-11,20-dione proceeded through intermediates with the 11β-hydroxy function protected as its acetate.Unusual features mainly of conformational origin were observed in the presence of the 11β-acetoxy substituent; some were helpful to the synthesis, while others led to undesirable side reactions.
