Paragraph 0044; 0049; 0050, (2018/12/14)
The invention discloses a steroid compound 3-site hydroxyl configuration inversion method. The method specifically comprises the following steps that (1) a steroid compound containing a 3-site hydroxyl reacts with an acyl chloride compound; (2) the product obtained in the step (1) and a substituting agent are subjected to SN2 nucleophilic substitution reaction under existing of a phase transfer catalyst; and (3) the product obtained in the step (2) is subjected to a hydrolysis reaction. Compared with a Mitsunobu method, the method does not need to use triphenylphosphine and azodiformate pricedhigher, and accordingly the production cost is greatly lowered; meanwhile, a p-nitrobenzoic acid derivative which seriously affects the water environment does not need to be used, and therefore the method is more environmentally friendly. The method adopts cesium acetate/18-crown ether-6 system to conduct 3-site hydroxyl configuration inversion, can remarkably reduce occurrence of side reactions,accordingly a higher reaction yield is obtained, and the method is finally applicable to industrialized production.

A general, efficient, and site-selective visible light-induced Pd-catalyzed remote desaturation of aliphatic alcohols into valuable allylic, homoallylic, and bis-homoallylic alcohols has been developed. This transformation operates via a hybrid Pd-radical mechanism, which synergistically combines the favorable features of radical approaches, such as a facile remote C-H HAT step, with that of transition-metal-catalyzed chemistry (selective β-hydrogen elimination step). This allows achieving superior degrees of regioselectivity and yields in the desaturation of alcohols compared to those obtained by the state-of-the-art desaturation methods. The HAT at unactivated C(sp3)-H sites is enabled by the easily installable/removable Si-auxiliaries. Formation of the key hybrid alkyl Pd-radical intermediates is efficiently induced by visible light from alkyl iodides and Pd(0) complexes. Notably, this method requires no exogenous photosensitizers or external oxidants.

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA, 2) is an important endogenous steroid hormone in mammals used in the treatment of a variety of dysfunctions in female and male health,1 as well as an intermediate in the synthesis of steroidal drugs, such as abiraterone acetate which is used for the treatment of prostate cancer.2-4 In this manuscript we describe a novel, concise, and cost-efficient route toward DHEA (2) and DHEA acetate (3) from 4-androstene-3,17-dione (4-AD, 1). Crucial to success was the identification of a ketoreductase from Sphingomonas wittichii for the highly regio- and stereoselective reduction of the C3-carbonyl group of 5-androstene-3,17-dione (5) to the required 3β-alcohol (2, >99% de). The enzyme displayed excellent robustness and solvent stability under high substrate concentrations (up to 150 g/L).

A practical solution to the problem of performing aqueous reactions for very sparingly soluble high-melting-point (VSSHMP) organic substrates has been developed, which entails mechanically stirring a mixture of the substrate, the corresponding reagent(s), water, catalytic Aliquat 336 and sand. When the melting points of the substrates which include steroids, ketones, aldehydes, aromatics and alkaloids are around 200 °C, the reactions can be performed at 20 °C. The substrate solubility can be as low as 1 × 10-10 mol L-1. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2012.
METHODS AND COMPOUNDS FOR PREPARING 3ALPHA-OXYGEN SUBSTITUTED STEROIDS

The invention relates to processes for preparing 3α-O-linked steroids including 3α-O-linked-androst-5-ene steroids and 3α-O-linked-5a-androstane steroids. In one process a 3α,4α-epoxy androst-5-en-17-one is predominately reduced at the epoxy moiety wherein reduction of the 3α,4α epoxy functional group occurs preferentially at position C4 with retention of configuration at position C3 to provide a 3α-O-linked-androst-5-ene steroid. In another process, conditions are provided for inversion of configuration of a 3β-hydroxy-androst-5-ene steroid by the Mitsunobu reaction to provide a 3α-O-linked-androst-5-ene steroid with reduced amounts of 3α,5α-cycloandrostane side-product impurities.

The invention relates to solid state forms of androst-5-ene-3α,7β,16α,17β- tetrol, formulations containing or prepared from such solid state forms and use of these materials for modulating unwanted inflammation including acute and chronic non-productive inflammation. The formulations can be used to prevent, treat or slow the progression of conditions related to autoimmunity and metabolic disorders such as arthritis, multiple sclerosis, ulcerative colitis, Type 1 diabetes and Type 2 diabetes.

Two natural 5-androstene steroid tetrols, androst-5-ene-3β,7β, 16α,17β-tetrol (HE3177) and androst-5-ene-3α,7β,16α, 17β-tetrol (HE3413), were discovered in human plasma and urine. These compounds had significant aqueous solubility, did not bind or transactivate steroid-binding nuclear hormone receptors, and were not immunosuppressive in murine mixed-lymphocyte studies. Both compounds appear to be metabolic end products, as they were resistant to primary and secondary metabolism. Both were orally bioavailable, and were very well tolerated in a two-week dose-intensive toxicity study in mice. Anti-inflammatory properties were found with exogenous administration of these compounds in rodent disease models of multiple sclerosis, lung injury, chronic prostatitis, and colitis.

A comparison between the facial selectivity observed in the hydroboration of some androst-5-enes and B-norandrost-5-enes does not parallel the differences between the calculated force field energies of α- and β-cyclobutane models suggesting that in this case the facial selectivity is not determined by the four centre transition state but by the ease of formation of the initial ?-complexes between the alkene and the borane.

A new, six-step synthesis of 3β-hydroxy-14β-androst-5-en-17-one (IX) starting from 3β-hydroxyandrost-5-en-17-one has been elaborated.Reduction of acetate X with sodium borohydride afforded 17α-hydroxy-14β-androst-5-en-3β-yl acetate (XI).The corresponding 17β-derivative XIV was obtained by epimerization of 17α-O-tosyl derivative XIII with sodium nitrite in hexamethylphosphoramide.The 13C and 1H NMR spectra of 14β-androstane derivatives are discussed.
