A series of aminopropylindenes, designed as mimics of a cationic high energy intermediate in the oxidosqualene cyclase1 (OSC)-mediated cyclization of 2,3-oxidosqualen to lanosterol was prepared from Grundmann's ketone. Screening on OSCs from five different organisms revealed interesting activities and selectivities of some of the compounds. A N,N-dimethylaminopropyl derivative showed promising inhibition of Trypanosoma cruzi OSC in combination with low cytotoxicity, and showed significant reduction of cholesterol biosynthesis in a human cell line.

Helicobacter pylori infects the human stomach and is closely linked with the development of gastric cancer. When detected, this pathogen can be eradicated from the human stomach using wide-spectrum antibiotics. However, year by year, H. pylori strains resistant to the antibacterial action of antibiotics have been increasing. The development of new antibacterial substances effective against drug-resistant H. pylori is urgently required. Our group has recently identified extremely selective bactericidal effects against H. pylori in (1R,3aR,7aR)-1-[(1R)-1,5-dimethylhexyl]octahydro-7a-methyl-4H-inden-4-one (VDP1) (otherwise known as Grundmann's ketone), an indene compound derived from the decomposition of vitamin D3 and proposed the antibacterial mechanism whereby VDP1 induces the bacteriolysis by interacting at least with PtdEtn (dimyristoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine [di-14:0 PtdEtn]) retaining two 14:0 fatty acids of the membrane lipid constituents. In this study, we synthesized new indene compounds ((1R,3aR,7aR)-1-((2R,E)-5,6-dimethylhept-3-en-2-yl)-7a-methyloctahydro-4H-inden-4-one [VD2-1], (1R,3aR,7aR)-1-((S)-1-hydroxypropan-2-yl)-7a-methyloctahydro-1H-inden-4-ol [VD2-2], and (1R,3aR,7aR)-7a-methyl-1-((R)-6-methylheptan-2-yl)octahydro-1H-inden-4-ol [VD3-1]) using either vitamin D2 or vitamin D3 as materials. VD2-1 and VD3-1 selectively disrupted the di-14:0 PtdEtn vesicles without destructing the vesicles of PtdEtn (dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine) retaining two 16:0 fatty acids. In contrast, VD2-2, an indene compound lacking an alkyl group, had no influence on the structural stability of both PtdEtn vesicles. In addition, VD2-1 and VD3-1 exerted extremely selective bactericidal action against H. pylori without affecting the viability of commonplace bacteria. Meanwhile, VD2-2 almost forfeited the bactericidal effects on H. pylori. These results suggest that the alkyl group of the indene compounds has a crucial conformation to interact with di-14:0 PtdEtn of H. pylori membrane lipid constituents whereby the bacteriolysis is ultimately induced.

Industrial-scale synthesis of eldecalcitol is described. AA highly diastereoselective epoxidation of p-methoxybenzyl (PMB) protected dienol at room temperature provides the key epoxide intermediate with a secondary hydroxyl group, which is alkylated with a triflate to set up all of the subunits at the C-1, C-2, and C-3 positions of the A-ring fragment. Selective protecting group manipulation followed by palladium-catalyzed cyclization then provides the A-ring synthon. The C/D-ring fragment is obtained by (1) direct C-H hydroxylation of Grundman's ketone using in situ prepared trifluoropropanone dioxirane and (2) protection. Finally, the coupling of the A-ring with the C/D-ring fragment, global deprotection, and recrystallization provide the highly crystalline eldecalcitol.

The Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway is critical for embryonic patterning and postembryonic tissue regeneration. Constitutive pathway activation has also been linked to human malignancies such as basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and medulloblastoma; therefore, multiple small-molecule scaffolds that inhibit Hh signaling are in development. Previously, Grundmann's alcohol, also known as the “northern region” of vitamin D3 (VD3), has been identified as a moderate Hh pathway inhibitor. In this study, isomers of Grundmann's alcohol with different orientations of the C4 hydroxy group and C3α proton were investigated to determine the optimal configuration for this hexahydroindane scaffold with respect to Hh inhibition. A series of analogues containing Grundmann's alcohol linked to a substituted phenyl or benzyl ring through an ether or thioether linker were synthesized and evaluated for their anti-Hh activity. Of these, analogue 17 ((1R,3aR,4R,7aR)-1-[(R)-1,5-dimethylhexyl]-4-(4-aminophenoxy)-7a-methyloctahydro-1H-indene) demonstrated potent anti-Hh activity in Hh-dependent BCC cells and did not activate canonical vitamin D receptor signaling, demonstrating its selective nature for the Hh signaling pathway.

In an effort to develop novel vitamin D3 analogues, a series of aromatic compounds was synthetized, using efficient Negishi cross coupling between alkenylzinc reagents of the C,D-ring moiety of vitamin D3, and various substituted aromatic halides as A-ring mimics. The study aimed at exploring the influence of the replacement of the original vitamin D3 diene by a styrene unit on the biological activities. Potency in the induction of the differentiation of HL-60 cells for the lead compound 36 was 12 fold less important than calcitriol correlating with a weaker binding affinity for VDR.

supporting information; experimental part, p. 3227 - 3236 (2011/08/03)
A series of steroid and azasteroid analogues containing a six-membered ring A with various functionalities were synthesized. Furthermore, the syntheses of tetracyclic analogues bearing a five-membered A-ring and the syntheses of a number of bicyclic secosteroid analogues were carried out. All compounds were tested for their antibacterial, antifungal and cytotoxic activities. Among all tested compounds 7 and 9 showed outstanding cytotoxic activities but were devoid of antimicrobial activities. The cytotoxic activities of compounds 7, 9 and 10 were initially verified by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in a one-dose 60 cell assay. In accordance with our results 7 and 9 satisfied pre-determined threshold inhibition criteria for progression to the 5-dose NCI screening, which revealed a selective activity profile for both candidates.

Isotope-labeled drug molecules may be useful for probing by NMR spectroscopy the conformation of ligand associated with biological hosts such as membranes and proteins. Triple-labeled [7,9,19-13C3]-vitamin D3 (56), its 25-hydroxylated and 1α,25-dihydroxylated metabolites (58 and 68, respectively), and other labeled materials have been synthesized via coupling of [9-13C]-Grundmann's ketone 39 or its protected 25-hydroxy derivative 43 with labeled A ring enyne fragments 25 or 26. The labeled CD-ring fragment 39 was prepared by a sequence involving Grignard addition of [13C]-methylmagnesium iodide to Grundmann's enone 28, oxidative cleavage, functional group modifications leading to seco-iodide 38, and finally a kinetic enolate SN2 cycloalkylation. The C-7,19 double labeling of the A-ring enyne was achieved by the Corey-Fuchs/Wittig processes on keto aldehyde 11. By employing these labeled fragments in the Wilson-Mazur route, the C-7,9,19 triple-13C-labeled metabolites 56, 58, and 68 as well as other 13C-labeled metabolites have been prepared. In an initial NMR investigation of one of the labeled metabolites prepared in this study, namely [7,9,19-13C3]-25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (58), the three 13C-labeled carbons of the otherwise water insoluble steroid could be clearly detected by 13C NMR analysis at 0.1 mM in a mixture of CD3OD/D2O (60/40) or in aqueous dimethylcyclodextrin solution and at 2 mM in 20 mM sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) aqueous micellar solution. In the SDS micellar solution, a double half-filter NOESY experiment revealed that the distance between the H19Z and H7 protons is significantly shorter than that of the corresponding distance calculated from the solid state (X-ray) structure of the free ligand. The NMR data in micelles reveals that 58 exists essentially completely in the α-conformer with the 3β-hydroxyl equatorially oriented, just as in the solid state. The shortened distance (H19Z-H7) in micellar solutions as compared to that in the solid state is most easily rationalized on the basis that the 5(10)-torsion angle in 58 is decreased in micellar solutions as compared to that in the solid state.
