Synthesis of new steroidal compounds of potentialbiomedical importance

Abstract

<p>Cilj ove doktorske disertacije je&nbsp; bila&nbsp; sinteza novih steroidnih&nbsp;16,17-seko-16,17a-dinitrila polazeći od&nbsp;dehidroepiandrosterona (1), odnosno&nbsp; estrona (14).&nbsp; U&nbsp;androstanskoj seriji&nbsp; su izvr&scaron;ene modifikacije&nbsp; 16,17-seko-16,17a-dinitrila&nbsp; 12&nbsp; u A i/ili B prstenu steroidnog jezgra, pri&nbsp;čemu novosintetizovana jedinjenja&nbsp; sadrže&nbsp; 4-en-3-on, 1,4-dien-3-on ili 1,4,6-trien-3-on sistem, kao i supstituente u&nbsp;položajima C-4, odnosno C-6&nbsp; (6-metilen, 6-keto i 6-oksimino).&nbsp; U&nbsp; radu&nbsp; je takođe&nbsp; proučavan&nbsp; uticaj odabranih&nbsp;novosintetizovanih jedinjenja na proliferaciju sedam ćelijskih&nbsp;linija humanih tumora, dok je kao kontrola služila jedna&nbsp;zdrava humana ćelijska linija.</p>

<p>Starting from dehydroepiandrosterone (1) or estrone (14)&nbsp;new steroidal 16,17-seco-16,17a-dinitriles&nbsp; were&nbsp;synthesized. Modification of 16,17-seco-16,17a-dinitrile&nbsp;12&nbsp; afforded&nbsp; androstane derivatives containing 4-en-3-on,&nbsp;1,4-dien-3-on or 1,4,6-trien-3-on system,&nbsp; with&nbsp; different&nbsp;substituents on position C-4 or C-6 (6-methylene, 6-keto i&nbsp;6-oximino).&nbsp; Antiproliferative activity&nbsp; of&nbsp; some&nbsp; newly&nbsp;synthesized&nbsp; compounds were examined&nbsp; against&nbsp; seven&nbsp;human tumor&nbsp; cell lines,&nbsp; while healthy cells&nbsp; served as&nbsp;control.</p>
