17β-羟-7α-甲-5-雄 烯-3-酮的抗生育作用及其激素活性

本工作表明17β-羟-7α-甲-5-雄烯-3-酮在妊娠小鼠、大鼠均有抗早孕和抗着床作用。在小鼠,17β-羟-7α-甲-5-雄烯-3-酮抗早孕作用的ED_(50)=0.159±0.055mg/kg。17β-羟-7α-甲-5-雄烯-3-酮在抗早孕剂量时能明显抑制假孕小鼠的蜕膜反应。甲地孕酮能完全对抗其抗早孕作用,也能完全对抗其抑制蜕膜反应的作用。早孕大鼠皮下注射17β-羟-7α-甲-5-雄烯-3-酮24小时后血浆孕酮浓度已明显下降。以上结果提示17β-羟-7α-甲-5-雄烯-3-酮抗早孕作用可能与其抑制孕酮合成有关。此外,本文对17β-羟-7α-甲-5-雄烯-3-酮的雌素活性和孕激素活性也进行了观察。

根据文献报道△~4-10β,17β-双羟基-17α-乙炔基-雌甾烯-3-酮(1a,R=H)具有抗雌激素的活性。抗雌激素的药物一般具有抗生育的作用。又据文献报道在具有19-去甲基-结构的甾体避孕药中某些位置羟基的酯化往往增加生理活性或变为口服有效或兼而有之。所以我们合成了10β-乙酰氧基衍生物(1b,R=COCH_3)。合成10β-乙酰氧基甾体

17 -Propadienyl, 17 -propynyl, and 17 -trifluoropropynyl analogs of 6,6-difluoronorethindrone

The synthesis of analogs of 6,6-difluoronorethindrone (la) is reported. The new compounds, each of which are potent oral progestational agents, are ( )-6,6-difluoronorgestrel (lb), 17 beta-hydroxy-6,6-difluoro-17alpha-propadienyl-4-estren-3-one (lc), 17beta-hydroxy-6,6-difluoro-17alpha-(1-propynyl)-4-estren-3-one (ld), and 17 beta-hydroxy-6,6-difluoro-17alpha-(3,3,3-trifluoropropynyl)-4-estren-3-o ne (le). The 6,6-gem-difluoro group is an important means for enhancing the progestational activity of parent compounds. Compounds lc,ld, and le were prepared from a common precursor, 6,6-difluoro-4-estrene-3,17-dione 3-ethylene ketal. The findings indicate that 6,6-difluoro steroids are stable towards a variety of reagents. The experimental procedures are summarized.     

Anti-tumor-Promoting activity of tibolone and its metabolites

The aim of this study was to evaluate the cancer chemopreventive potential of the widely prescribed drug tibolone (17alpha-ethynyl-7alpha-methyl-5(10)-estren-3-one, CAS 5630-53-5) and its main metabolites, 17alpha-ethynyl-7alpha-methyl-4-estren-3-one (CAS 1162-60-3), 17alpha-ethynyl-7alpha-methyl-5(10)-estrene-3alpha,17beta-diol (CAS 100239-44-9) and 17alpha-ethynyl-7alpha-methyl-5(10)-estrene-3beta,17beta-diol (CAS 100239-45-0), by studying their anti-tumor-promoting activity. To this aim the test compounds were submitted to the short term in vitro assay for the inhibition of Epstein-Barr virus early antigen (EBV-EA) activation induced by the tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) as a primary screening for anti-tumor promoters. All the compounds showed high inhibitory activity and low cytotoxicity as compared to literature data. To extend the study to an animal model, tibolone and its 3alpha-hydroxy metabolite (CAS 100239-44-9) were also assayed in the in vivo two-stage on mouse skin carcinogenesis test, exhibiting significant inhibitory effects on TPA promoted mouse skin papillomas formation. A comparison with literature data indicated them as more potent compounds than other steroids previously studied such as digitoxigenin, cortisone, hydrocortisone, and prednisolone.

Determination of 17 beta-hydroxy-1 alpha-methyl-17 alpha-propyl-5-alpha-androstan-3-one in plasma by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry with single-ion detection

The topical anti-androgen 17 beta-hydroxy-1 alpha-methyl-17 alpha-propyl-5 alpha-androstan-3-one is determined in plasma samples by extracting with ether and subsequent mass fragmentography with single-ion detection at m/z 303. 17 beta-Hydroxy-1 alpha-methyl-17 alpha-pentyl-5 alpha-androstan-3-one, added to the samples before extraction, is used as the internal standard. Reproducibility was calculated to be +/- 5.9% at the 5-ng/mL level and 0.4% at the 20-ng/mL level. The limit of detection is approximately 1 ng/mL. Total gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis time is approximately 10 min/sample.     

Microbial 9α-hydroxylase: Epoxidation of 9(11)-dehydro-17α-methyl-testosterone

Steroid 9alpha-hydroxylase is a key enzyme system in steroid nucleus degradation in company with Delta(1)-dehydrogenase. To examine 9alpha-hydroxylase activity during microbial transformation of steroids, 9(11)-dehydro-17alpha-methyl-testosterone was adopted as a stable substrate for preventing the rupture of steroid nucleus. UsingNocardia restrictus ATCC 14887 capable of introducing a 9alpha-hydroxyl group into steroids, 9alpha, 11alpha-oxido-17beta-hydroxy-17alpha-methyl-4-androstene-3-one and 9alpha, 11alpha-oxido-17beta-hydroxy-17alpha-methyl-1, 4-androstadiene-3-one were obtained. These microbiologically transformed products could be used as reference compounds in the enzyme assay.     

Synthesis of gestodene

The synthesis of the new progestogen, 17 alpha-ethinyl-17 beta-hydroxy-18-methyl-4,15-estradien-3-one (gestodene, 6), starting from 18-methyl-4-estren-3,17-dione (1) can be accomplished by several methods. The oral progestational activity of gestodene is greater than that of levonorgestrel. Gestodene, in combination with ethinylestradiol, is contained in a recently developed oral contraceptive.     

A potential radioiodinated ligand for androgen receptor: 7 alpha-methyl-17 alpha-(2'-(E)-iodovinyl)-19-nortestosterone

The presence of androgen receptor (AR) in prostate cancer has been linked to the androgen-dependent nature of the tumor and has also been shown to have prognostic significance; it also appears to be a positive prognostic indicator in breast cancer. However, due to the relatively low AR concentrations in most tumors and the inherently low specific activity of tritium, the assay of AR based on available 3H-ligands is not sensitive enough to measure accurately the amount of receptor in small specimens. A 125I-ligand like those available for the estrogen and progesterone receptors would be helpful, but development of such a ligand for AR has not been very successful. Although several androgen analogues containing iodine, bromine, or selenium have been synthesized specifically as potential probes for AR, none have shown any significant affinity or specificity for the receptor. We therefore undertook the synthesis of new potential AR ligands which could be radioiodinated, and determined their affinities for AR (from rat uterus and MCF-7 human breast cancer cells) by using a competition assay. We have examined both 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone (5 alpha-DHT) and 19-nortestosterone analogues and have identified two such compounds which showed high AR affinity: (17 alpha,20E)-17 beta-hydroxy-21-iodo-5 alpha-pregn-20-en-3-one (17 alpha-[E)-iodovinyl)-5 alpha-DHT, 9) and 17 beta-hydroxy-7 alpha-methyl-(17 alpha,20E)-21-iodo-19-norpregna-4,20-dien-3- one (7 alpha-methyl-17 alpha-[E)-iodovinyl)-19-nortestosterone, 11). In fact, the affinity of the latter for human AR was found to be superior to that of 5 alpha-DHT itself. These iodovinyl analogues could be easily prepared in the radioiodinated form, and should prove to be extremely useful in assaying low levels of AR in small specimens.     

Studies of the inactivation of human placental aromatase by 17 alpha-ethynyl-substituted 10 beta-hydroperoxy and related 19-nor steroids

The inactivation of human placental aromatase by 17 alpha-ethynyl-10 beta-hydroperoxy-17 beta-hydroxy-4-estren-3-one (SCH 10015) was investigated. In either the presence or absence of added NADPH, SCH 10015 (Ki = 41 microM) caused a time-dependent loss of aromatase activity (e.g. 50% loss after 20 min with 20 microM SCH 10015). Evidence for the oxidation of an active site sulfhydryl group as the molecular basis for SCH 10015 inactivation is presented. The contraceptive 17 alpha-ethynyl-substituted 19-nor steroids, norethisterone (Ki = 48 microM) and norethynodrel (Ki = 38 microM), were evaluated and found not to inactivate aromatase, suggesting that the potential conversion of either compound to SCH 10015 did not occur to a significant extent in these microsomal incubations. It is speculated that the previously observed potent contraceptive effects of SCH 10015 may have been the result of irreversible inhibition of estrogen biosynthesis.

C-16 Hydroxylated and dihydroxylated metabolites have not been previously reported from methandrostenolone. No evidence for epimerization at the C-17 position was observed in the rabbit.     

Dimethisterone

The chemical profile of dimethisterone is presented. Dimethisterone (6alpha, 21-dimethylethisterone. 6 alpha, 21-dimethyl-17alpha-ethynyltestosterone. 17beta-hydroxy-6alpha-methyl-1 7-(1-propynyl)-androst-4-en-3-one) is a white crystalline powder that is soluble in ethanol, chloroform, and acetone, but not in water. The hydrated form of the drug melts at 103-113 degrees, while the anhydrous form melts at 137-139 degrees. The ultraviolet spectrum of dimethisterone in methanol shows a maximum at 242 mmc. A colorimetric assay has been developed on the basis of the reaction of dimethisterone with sulfuric acid to form a chromogenic substance absorbing at 490 mmc.
