Van Heerden,Dixon,Holzapfel
, p. 7399 - 7402 (1992)
Treatment of the methyl- and benzyl ethers of 3-hydroxy steroids with a solution of dimethyldioxirane resulted in the formation of the corresponding ketones in high yield.

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.

A series of 21-arylidenepregnenolone derivatives and their corresponding epoxides were synthesized. The neuroprotective effects of these steroidal compounds against amyloid-β25-35 (Aβ25-35)- and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced neurotoxicity in PC12 cells, and oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD)-induced neurotoxicity in SH-SY5Y cells were evaluated. The bioassay results indicated that several 3β-pregn-21-benzylidene-20-one derivatives displayed potent in vitro neuroprotective effects in different screening models, for example, compounds 2b, 3a, 3b, and 3s showing significant activities against Aβ 25-35-induced neurotoxicity in PC12 cells, 2b showing significant activities against H2O2-induced neurotoxicity in PC12 cells, and 2g, 3b, and 3e showing potent protection against OGD insult. The results suggested that introduction of an arylidene group into steroidal nucleus played an important role in neuroprotective activity, while the formation of epoxy group at C-5,6 could be also important for the neuroprotective activity in some degree. The pharmacological data reported here are helpful for the design of novel steroidal neuroprotective candidates.
