, p. 3647 - 3661 (2013/11/06)
A facile synthetic approach toward six designed analogues (2-7) of linckoside B, a new neuritogenic steroid glycoside isolated from the Okinawan starfish Linckia laevigata, has been developed. The key steroid aglycon was achieved by a dimethylaluminum chloride-mediated 'ene' reaction. A versatile strategy was employed for the construction of glycosidic bonds through Schmidt's procedure using a glycosyl trichloroacetimidate donor.

The synthesis of the C2-symmetric bis-(20S)-5α-23,24-bisnorchol-16-en-3β,6α,7β-triol-22- terephthaloate (1), active as Na+-transporting transmembrane channel, has been achieved in 16 steps (10% overall yield) starting from the commercially available androst-5-en-3β-ol-17-one (3). The straightforward stereospecific functionalization of the side-chain, via the 'ene' reaction, and the successful regioselective terephthaloylation of the C-22 hydroxy group, illustrate the efficiency of the synthetic strategy.
A direct stereoselective synthesis of 7β-hydroxytestosterone

Although 7β-hydroxytestosterone is a known product of hepatic androgen metabolism, there are no published methods for its chemical synthesis except from the equally difficult to obtain 7β-hydroxy-4-androstene-3,17-dione. We found that several seemingly straightforward routes for its synthesis failed. Consequently, we tried to produce 7β-hydroxytestosterone by enzymatic oxidation of 5-androstene-3β,7β,17β-triol with cholesterol oxidase (Brevibacterium sp.), a procedure previously used to synthesize 7β-hydroxy- 4-cholesten-3-one from 3β,7β-dihydroxycholesterol (Alexander and Fisher 1995). However, 5-androstene-3β,7β,17β-triol was, at best, a very poor substrate for the enzyme leading to the production of 7β- hydroxytestosterone in only trace amounts. Thus, we explored a strategy for the enzymatic synthesis in which a C8-ester at C-17 (5-androstene- 3β,7β,17β-triol 17-caprylate) would serve to mimic the bulky and hydrophobic side chain of cholesterol and thus allow the C19-steroid to act as an effective substrate. When this ester was incubated with cholesterol oxidase, it was converted efficiently to 7β-hydroxytestosterone-17- caprylate. Attempts to remove the ester group by several mild hydrolytic procedures caused elimination of the 7β-hydroxyl group: we, therefore, obtained 7β-hydroxy-testosterone by incubation of the intermediate ester with porcine lipase.
