摘要

Possible metabolites of progestin 16α, 17α-cyclohexaprogesterone 1, namely, 3α-hydroxy-, 3β-hydroxy-16α, 17α-cyclohexapregn-4-en-20-one, and 3α-hydroxy-16α, 17α-cyclohexa-5α-pregnan-20-one, were synthesized by reduction of the 3-keto group and subsequent Mitsunobu type inversion of configuration of the obtained alcohols. Study of the antiproliferative activity of the synthesized compounds and progestin 1 against MCF-7 and T47D cells in hormone-dependent breast cancer showed that the obtained steroids with a double bond in ring A retain the antiproliferative activity of progestin 1 with an IC50 of 22–34 µmol L−1, while the 5α-reduced analogs are practically inactive at doses up to 50 µmol L−1.
