23-Oxa-analogues of OSW-1: Efficient synthesis and extremely potent antitumor activity

An aldol condensation is the key to the eight-step linear synthesis of 23-oxa analogues of OSW-1 (e.g. 2) in more than 20% overall yield from the industrially produced steroid 1. Compound 2 is up to 2000 times more potent than cisplatin as an inhibitor of

OSW Saponins: Facile synthesis toward a new type of structures with potent antitumor activities

OSW saponins, featuring a 16β,17α-dihydroxycholest-22-one aglycon and an acylated β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→3)-α-L- arabinopyranosyl residue attached to the 16-hydroxyl group, have recently been discovered from a group of lily plants, which show potent antitumor activities with a novel mechanism of action. This paper describes an aldol approach to the stereoselective construction of the 16α,17α-dihydroxycholest-22-one structure from 16α-hydroxy-5-androsten-17-ones and propionates. Elaboration of the aldol adducts toward OSW-1, involving installation of the isoamyl ketone side chain, inversion of the 16-hydroxyl configuration, and selective protection of the C22-oxy function, has been explored and accomplished. In particular, the present route was found convenient for the synthesis of OSW saponin analogues with a C22-ester side chain. Thus, the 23-oxa-analogue of OSW-1 (40) was prepared starting from the industrial dehydroisoandrosterone (1) in a linear eight-step sequence and in 26% overall yield. Analogues with a variety of modified side chains were prepared, via aldol condensation with propionates of varying length, thiopropionate, and acetate (for preparation of 68-75) or via aminolysis of the 22,16-lactone 26 (for preparation of the 23-N-analogues). Cross metathesis (CM) reaction was also found feasible for modification at the final stage from C22-allyl ester 70. Valuable structure-activity relationships (SAE), together with the practical synthetic approach, have thus been provided to set a new stage for further studies on this new type of antitumor structures.
