Transformation of 5α-Pregnenolone Into Some Hydrazones: Synthesis and Biological Activity
摘要
Three series of N-containing 5α-steroids were synthesized during a search for biologically active steroids from pregn-16-en-3β-ol-20-one. The structures of the synthesized compounds were proved using 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass spectra. Studies of the in vitro cytotoxic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activity of 14 synthesized steroids identified four compounds with pronounced anti-inflammatory activity and one with cytotoxic activity against colorectal adenocarcinoma cells.
