Koivukorpi, Juha,Valkonen, Arto,Kolehmainen, Erkki
, p. 81 - 86 (2004)
Three steroidal dipyrromethanes, 3,3,24,24-tetrakis(pyrrol-2-yl)-5β- cholane 1, 3,3-bis(pyrrol-2-yl)-5β-cholan-24-oic acid 2, and methyl 3,3-bis(pyrrol-2-yl)-5β-cholan-24-oate 3, have been prepared from 3α-hydroxy-5β-cholan-24-oic acid (lithocholic acid) 4 in good overall yields. The structures of 1-3 have been fully characterized by 1H, 13C, PFG DQF 1H-1H COSY, 1H- 1H ROESY, 13C DEPT-135, PFG 1H-13C HMQC, PFG 1H-13C HMBC, and PFG 1H- 15N HMBC NMR spectra. Their molecular weights and compositions have been determined by ESI-TOF and EI mass spectra, and elemental analyses. The energetically optimised geometry and isotropic 13C NMR chemical shifts of 3,3,24,24-tetrakis(pyrrol-2-yl)-5β-cholane 1 have been calculated by ab initio HF/6-31G* and DFT B3PW91/6-311G* methods.

Three oxo-derivatives of bile acid methyl esters have been used as starting compounds in the preparation of novel bile acid monoketals with 1,2-benzenediol (catechol) and 2,3-naphthalenediol, as well as mono- and diketals with pentaerythritol. Monoketals of pentaerythritol showed a tendency to form thermoreversible gels in many aromatic solvents and the methyl lithocholate derivative proved to be a supergelator able to form a gel with t-butylbenzene at a concentration as low as 0.5% w/v. Whereas the naphthalenediol ketals formed film-type materials in the studied solvents, the catechol ketals underwent rapid crystallization into X-ray quality single crystals. Single crystal X-ray structures of the catechol ketals have been determined. The monoketal obtained from methyl-3,7,12-trioxo-5β-cholan-24-oate (dehydrocholate) revealed to have an unusual packing pattern in its solid state compared to other bile acid derivatives reported in the literature. The synthesis of diketals from pentaerythritol furnished a mixture of two diastereomers which, in the case of the methyl lithocholate derivative, have been separated and the X-ray crystal structure of one isomer resolved.

Counteracting in Vitro Toxicity of the Ionophoric Mycotoxin Beauvericin - Synthetic Receptors to the Rescue
Ornelis, Vincent,Rajkovic, Andreja,Decleer, Marlies,Sas, Benedikt,De Saeger, Sarah,Madder, Annemieke
, p. 10422 - 10435 (2019/08/26)
Beauvericin (BEA) and enniatins are toxic ionophoric cyclodepsipeptides that mainly occur in grains. As such, their presence in food commodities poses a concern for public health. To date, despite recent European Food Safety Authority emphasis on the need for more data to evaluate long-term toxicity effects, no suitable affinity reagents are available to detect the presence of BEA and derivatives in food samples. We here report on the synthesis of a small library of artificial receptors with varying cavity sizes and different hydrophobic building blocks. Immobilization of one of the receptors on solid support resulted in a strong retention of beauvericin, thus revealing promising properties as solid-phase extraction material for sample pretreatment. Furthermore, treatment of HepG2 cells with the most promising receptor markedly reduced beauvericin-induced cytotoxicity, hinting toward the possibility of using synthetic receptors as antidotes against ionophoric toxins.

In order to develop bioactive lithocholic acid derivatives, we prepared fifteen semi-synthetic compounds through modification at C-3 and/or C-24. The reactions showed yields ranging from 37% to 100%. The structures of all compounds obtained were identified on the basis of their spectral data (IR, MS, 1D- and 2D-NMR). The activity of lithocholic acid and derivatives was evaluated against the growth of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The derivative 3α-formyloxy-5β-cholan-24-oic acid (LA-06) showed the best activity, with MIC values of 0.0790 mM against E. coli (Ec 27) and B. cereus in both cases, and 0.0395 mM against S. aureus (ATCC 12692). Lithocholic acid and the derivatives with MIC ≤ 1.2 mM were evaluated on the susceptibility of some bacterial pathogens to the aminoglycoside antibiotics neomycin, amikacin and gentamicin was evaluated. There are no previously reported studies about these compounds as modifiers of the action of antibiotics or any other drugs.
