Neurosteroids have been reported to modulate memory processes in rodents. Three analogues of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), two of them previously described (7β-aminoDHEA and 7β-amino-17-ethylenedioxy-DHEA), and a new one (3β-hydroxy-5α-androstane-6,17-dione) were synthesized, and their effects were evaluated on memory. This study examined their effects on long term and short term memory in male (6 weeks old) NMRI mice in comparison with the reference drug. Long term memory was assessed using the passive avoidance task and short term memory (spatial working memory) using the spontaneous alternation task in a Y maze. Moreover, the effects of DHEA and its analogues on spontaneous locomotion were measured. In all tests, DHEA and analogues were injected at three equimolar doses (0.300-1.350-6.075 μM/kg). DHEA and its three analogues administered immediately post-training at the highest doses (6.075 μM/kg, s.c.) improved retention in passive avoidance test. Without effect per se in the spatial working memory task, the four compounds failed to reverse scopolamine (1 mg/kg, i.p.)-induced deficit in spontaneous alternation. These data suggested an action of DHEA and analogues in consolidation of long term memory particularly when emotional components are implied. Moreover, data indicated that pharmacological modulation of DHEA as performed in this study provides derivatives giving the same mnemonic profile than reference molecule.

A simple and practical method for synthesis of the D-ring modified steroidal dienamides (4a-k) from the steroidal α,α-dicyanoalkene 3 and aldehydes via vinylogous aldol reaction was first reported. By using NaOAc as a base, the desired products were obtained in moderate to good yields in ethanol under mild conditions. All the synthesized steroidal dienamides are new and are currently being evaluated for their biological activities.

, p. 999 - 1004 (1996)
A series of acetoxy derivatives of androstane was deacetylated in organic solvents by several lipases. The most satisfactory results were obtained with lipase from Candida cylindracea (CCL) and Candida antarctica (CAL). In some derivatives, CCL and CAL showed an overwhelming regioselectivity towards the removal of the 3β - or the 17β-acetyl group (see Table 2). Three new steroid derivatives were obtained through this approach. A hypothetical rationale for the behaviour of these enzymes is given.

In this work, twenty-eight novel 17a-aza-D-homo-androster-17-one derivatives, which divided into two categories, were synthesized with commercial available starting material (dehydroepiandrosterone) via oximation reaction, Beckmann rearrangement, hydroxyl protection, N-alkylation and deprotection. All compounds were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and HRMS. The structure of 14 g was also identified by X-ray single crystal diffraction. The bioactivities, brine shrimp toxicity and cytotoxicity, of all derivatives were tested. The results indicated that compounds 11 h, 11i, 11 m, 11 s, 14 b and 14 g exhibited excellent toxicity against brine shrimp with LC50 values ranging from 5.34 to 16.89 μg/mL, and compounds 11 s and 14 g displayed significant cytotoxicity against HT29 cells and A549 cells with IC50 values of 9.70 μM and 8.85 μM, respectively. Structure-activity relationships are discussed based on the results obtained from our research, and some important determinants for further modification of steroids towards the development of novel drug candidates are identified.

Substantial evidence underscores the clinical efficacy of inhibiting CYP17A1-mediated androgen biosynthesis by abiraterone for treatment of prostate oncology. Previous structural analysis and in vitro assays revealed inconsistencies surrounding the nature and potency of CYP17A1 inhibition by abiraterone. Here, we establish that abiraterone is a slow-, tight-binding inhibitor of CYP17A1, with initial weak binding preceding the subsequent slow isomerization to a high-affinity CYP17A1-abiraterone complex. The in vitro inhibition constant of the final high-affinity CYP17A1-abiraterone complex ( ( Ki? = 0.39 nM )yielded a binding free energy of -12.8 kcal/mol that was quantitatively consistent with the in silico prediction of 214.5 kcal/mol. Prolonged suppression of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) concentrations observed in VCaP cells after abiraterone washout corroborated its protracted CYP17A1 engagement. Molecular dynamics simulations illuminated potential structural determinants underlying the rapid reversible binding characterizing the two-step induced-fit model. Given the extended residence time (42 hours) of abiraterone within the CYP17A1 active site, in silico simulations demonstrated sustained target engagement even whenmost abiraterone has been eliminated systemically. Subsequent pharmacokineticpharmacodynamic (PK-PD) modeling linking time-dependent CYP17A1 occupancy to in vitro steroidogenic dynamics predicted comparable suppression of downstream DHEA-sulfate at both 1000- and 500-mg doses of abiraterone acetate. This enabled mechanistic rationalization of a clinically reported PK-PD disconnect, inwhich equipotent reduction of downstreamplasma DHEAsulfate levels was achieved despite a lower systemic exposure of abiraterone. Our novel findings provide the impetus for reevaluating the current dosing paradigmof abiraterone with the aim of preserving PD efficacy while mitigating its dose-dependent adverse effects and financial burden. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT With the advent of novel molecularly targeted anticancer modalities, it is becoming increasingly evident that optimal dose selection must necessarily be predicated on mechanistic characterization of the relationships between target exposure, drug-target interactions, and pharmacodynamic endpoints. Nevertheless, efficacy has always been perceived as being exclusively synonymous with affinity-based measurements of drug-target binding. This work demonstrates how elucidating the slow-, tight-binding inhibition of CYP17A1 by abiraterone via in vitro and in silico analyses was pivotal in establishing the role of kinetic selectivity in mediating time-dependent CYP17A1 engagement and eventually downstream efficacy outcomes.

A series of novel steroidal 5α,8α-endoperoxide derivatives bearing semicarbazone (7a-g) or thiosemicarbazone (7h-k) side chain were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxicities in four human cancer cell lines (HepG2, HCT-116, MCF-7, and A549) using the MTT assay in vitro. The results showed that compound 7j exhibited significant cytotoxic activity against HepG2 cells (IC50 = 3.52 μM), being more potent than ergosterol peroxide. Further cellular mechanism studies in HepG2 cells indicated that compound 7j triggered the mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis by decreasing mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), which was associated with up-regulation of Bax, down-regulation of Bcl-2, activation levels of the caspase cascade, and formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The above findings indicated that compound 7j may be used as a promising skeleton for antitumor agents with improved efficacy.

– A series of novel steroidal 5α,8α-endoperoxide derivatives bearing hydrazide side chain were synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxicities in four human cancer cell lines (HepG2, HCT-116, MCF-7, and A549) using the MTT assay in vitro. The results showed that compound 6k exhibited significant cytotoxic activity against HepG2 cells (IC50 = 5.60 μM). Further cellular mechanism studies in HepG2 cells indicated that compound 6k triggered the mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis by decreasing mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) which was associated with up-regulation of Bax, down-regulation of Bcl-2.

, (2019/10/21)
A series of novel 5α, 8α-endoperoxide steroidal hybrid derivatives containing isatin or indole substituents on the C-17 side chain were synthesized and characterized. The preliminary anti-proliferative activity of the compounds against HepG2, MCF-7, HT-29 and HeLa cell lines were investigated. Compounds 7g and 7l displayed significant anti-proliferative activity in vitro against HepG2 and Hela cells, with IC50 values lower than 8 μM. Furthermore, the biological functions of 7g were examined by flow cytometry and colony analysis. The results showed that 7g could induce HepG2 cell apoptosis, inhibited cell cycle progression, and colony growth. The studies indicated that structural modification at C-17 position could be a promising launch point for design steroidal anticancer agents.
