HUMAN GHRELIN O-ACYL TRANSFERASE INHIBITORS
-
Paragraph 0052-0054, (2018/03/09)
A class of cyanosteroid compounds that efficiently inhibit ghrelin acylation by ghrelin O-acyltransferase. The compounds have a steroid scaffold with α,β-unsaturated ketone in the A ring position such an a-cyanoenone. Exemplary compounds include (5S,8S,9S,10S, 13S,14S)-10,13-dimethyl-3-oxo-4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17- tetradecahydro-3H-cyclopenta[a]phenanthrene-2-carbonitrile.

Synthetic modifications of cholesterol and other traditional steroid molecules have become a promising area for the exploration and development of novel antifungal agents, especially with respect to the development of fatty-acid esters of steroids. In addition, 2,3-functionalized steroids are also compounds with potentially interesting biological properties and proper functionalization of 2,3-steroids can lead to the development of efficient syntheses of building blocks for novel fatty-acid esters of steroids. In this Letter, we outline a novel and efficient approach to the synthesis of 2,3-functionalized cholestane and androstane derivatives and present their promising preliminary antifungal activities against a number of fungal species.
