The analogues of brassinolide, 15, 19-23 and 30, were synthezised via key intermediate 5 from stigmasterol.Compound 15 which has the same functional groups as brassinolide on rings A and B showed one tenth of the activity of brassinolide in the lamina inclination test on rice seedlings.However, other analogues with modified ring A were poorly active, and an analogue with modified ring B, 6-oxa-ketone 30, showed only one hundredth of the activity of its 7-oxa-ketone isomer, 29, suggesting that the 2α,3α-dihydroxy-7-oxa-6-ketone moiety is one of the requisites fro the biological activity.
