The spirostanic steroidal side-chain of diosgenin and hecogenin was modified to produce 22-oxocholestane derivatives. This type of side-chain was obtained in good yields through a straightforward four-step pathway. These compounds show potent brassinosteroid-like growth promoting activity evaluated via the rice lamina joint inclination bioassay. This is the first report of steroidal skeletons bearing the 22-oxocholestane side-chain and preserving the basic structure (A-D rings) from their corresponding parent compounds acting as plant growth promoters.
将薯蓣皂苷元和海柯皂苷元的螺甾烷甾体侧链进行修饰,以制备22-氧代胆甾烷衍生物。通过一条直接的四步路线可高产率地获得这类侧链。通过水稻叶片夹角生物测定法评估,这些化合物显示出强效的油菜素内酯样促生长活性。这是关于带有22-氧代胆甾烷侧链且保留其相应母体化合物的基本结构(A-D环)的甾体骨架作为植物生长促进剂的首次报道。
