A metallacycle-centered approach to the assembly of partially aromatic synthetic steroids was investigated as a means to prepare a boutique collection of unique steroidal agents. The synthesis and discovery of estra-1,3,5(10),6,8-pentaene-2,16α-diol (VII) is described, along with structure-activity relationships related to its cytotoxic properties. Overall, VII was found to have a GI = 0.2 μg/mL (∼800 nM) in MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells, be an efficacious estrogen receptor agonist with potency for ERβ > ERα (ERβ EC = 21 nM), possess selective affinity to the cdc-2-like kinase CLK4 (K = 350 nM), and be phenotypically related to paclitaxel by an unbiased panel assessment.
研究了一种基于金属环的方法来组装部分芳香合成甾体,以制备独特甾体药物的精品系列。本文描述了estra-1,3,5(10),6,8-戊烯-2,16α-二醇(VII)的合成和发现,以及与其细胞毒性性质相关的结构-活性关系。总体而言,VII 在 MDA-MB-231 人乳腺癌细胞中的 GI = 0.2 μg/mL(约 800 nM),是一种有效的雌激素受体激动剂,对 ERβ>ERα(ERβ EC = 21 nM)具有效力,对 cdc-2 样激酶 CLK4 具有选择性亲和力(K = 350 nM),并通过无偏面板评估与紫杉醇表现出相关关系。
