Chemoselective epoxidation of cholesterol derivatives on a surface-designed molecularly imprinted Ru-porphyrin catalyst

A new molecularly imprinted Ru-porphyrin complex catalyst on a SiO2 support was designed, prepared, and characterized in a step-by-step manner for the C5C6 epoxidation of cholesterol derivatives. High chemoselectivity for the C5C6 epoxidation of cholesterol derivatives without protecting the 3-position OH group and other oxidizable functional groups was achieved on the molecularly imprinted catalyst.

AMINO DERIVATIVES OF ANDROSTANES AND ANDROSTENES AS MEDICAMENTS FOR CARDIOVASCULAR DISORDERS

Compounds of formula (I) wherein: the groups are as defined in the description, are useful for the preparation of medicaments for the treatment of cardiovascular disorders, in particular heart failure and hypertension. The compounds are inhibitors of the enzymatic activity of the Na+, K+-ATPase. Said compounds are used for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of a disease caused by the hypertensive effects of endogenous ouabain, such as renal failure progression in autosomal dominant polycystic renal disease (ADPKD), preeclamptic hypertension and proteinuria and renal failure progression in patients with adducin polymorphisms.

Highly efficient epoxidation of unsaturated steroids using magnesium bis(monoperoxyphthalate) hexahydrate

Fast generation of epoxides from the corresponding homoallylic and allylic steroidal olefins was developed by using magnesium bis(monoperoxyphthalate) hexahydrate (MMPP) as oxidant suspended in acetonitrile (CH3CN) at reflux temperature. The protocol involves the use of a safe readily available oxidant along with an easy work-up, which renders the process very efficient. Selective 4,5- and 5,6-epoxidations of steroids are reported. Among them, highly stereoselective epoxidation of Δ5-B-nor-cholestanes was achieved. Moreover, the method is chemoselective for the 5,6-position and can be applied to the epoxidation of ring-A enones.

Epoxidation and Reduction of DHEA, 1,4,6-Androstatrien-3-one and 4,6-Androstadien-3β,17β-diol

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) reacted with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (m-CPBA) to form 3β-hydroxy-5α,6α-epoxyandrostan-17-one (1), but it did not react with 30 percent H2O2. 1,4,6-Androstatrien-3,17-dione (2) was obtained from DHEA and 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone in dioxane. Compound 2 was reacted with 30 percent H2O2 and 5 percent NaOH in methanol to give 1α,2α-epoxy-4,6-androstadien-3,17-dione (3), which was stereoselectively reduced with NaBH4 to form 1α,2α-epoxy-4,6-androstadien-3β,17β-diol (7) and reacted with Li metal in absolute ethanol-tetrahydrofuran mixture to give 2-ethoxy-1,4,6-androstatrien-3,17-dione (8). Compound 2 was also epoxidized with m-CPBA in dichloromethane to afford 6α,7α-epoxy-1,4- androstadien-3,17-dione (4), which was reacted with NaBH4 to synthesize 6α,7α-epoxy-4-androsten-3β,17β-diol (9). Compound 4 was reduced with Li metal in absolute ethanol-tetrahydrofuran mixture to form 7β-ethoxy-6α-hydroxy-1,4-androstadien-3,17-dione (10). Compound 2 was reduced with NaBH4 in absolute ethanol to form 4,6-androstadien-3β,17β-diol (5), which was reacted with 30 percent H2O2 to give the original compound, but which reacted with m-CPBA to give 4β,5β-epoxy-6-androsten-3β,17β-diol (6).

Method for synthesizing 5β, 6β-epoxides of steroids by a highly β-selective epoxidation of ΔΔ5-unsaturated steroids catalyzed by ketones

A general, efficient, and environmentally friendly method is provided for producing mostly β-epoxides of Δ5-unsaturated steroids using certain ketones as the catalyst along with an oxidizing agent, or by using certain dioxiranes. In another aspect of the invention, a method is provided for producing mostly 5β,6β-epoxides of steroids from Δ5-unsaturated steroids having a substituent at the 3α-position by an epoxidation reaction using a ketone along with an oxidizing agent under conditions effective to generate epoxides, or using a dioxirane under conditions effective to generate epoxides. A whole range of Δ5-unsaturated steroids, bearing different functional groups such as hydroxy, carbonyl, acetyl or ketal group as well as different side chains, were conveniently converted to the corresponding synthetically and biologically interesting 5β,6β-epoxides with excellent β-selectivities and high yields.

Highly selective lipase-mediated discrimination of diastereomeric 5,6-epoxysteroids

Stereoisomerically pure 3β-hydroxy-5,6-epoxysteroids were obtained by combining selective chemical methods for α- and β-epoxidation of Δ5-unsaturated steroids with enzymatic stereoselective esterification of the 3β-hydroxyl group. 5β,6β-Epoxy-3β- hydroxysteroids were efficiently acylated by Novozym 435 and lipase AK, whereas 5α,6α-epoxy-3β-hydroxysteroids were good substrates for Candida rugosa lipase. Mild enzymatic deacylation of the 3β-acetoxy group in the presence of the epoxy functionality was also accomplished by C. rugosa lipase-mediated hydrolysis.
