Abstract:

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-malignant enlargement of the prostate gland. Itis a leading disorder of the elderly male population. Excessive production of dihydrotestosteronehas been implicated in this pathological condition. Steroidal 5α-reductase is a membrane boundNADPH dependent enzyme which is responsible for the conversion of testosterone (T) todihydrotestosterone (DHT). Therefore, inhibition of production of DHT by 5α-reductaseinhibitors is an important approach for the treatment of BPH. The proposed 17-oxo-17a-aza-Dhomo-3,5-seco-steroids (17-20) have been synthesized using diosgenin as the starting material.Diosgenin was converted to 17-oxo-3, 5-seco-4-nor-androstan-3-oic acid following six steps:Oppenauer oxidation, Lemieux-von Rudloff oxidation, Wolff-Kishner reduction, Markerdegradation, oximation and Beckmann rearrangement. 17-Oxo-3, 5- seco-keto acid was thenconverted to 17-oxo-17a-aza-D-homo-3, 5-seco-4-nor-androstan-3-oic acid by oximationfollowed by Beckmann rearrangement. The resulted seco-keto acid was then treated with thionylchloride and the respective amines and phenols to get the desired 3, 5-seco-steroidal amides (17-18) and esters (19-20) respectively.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of 5-arylfuro[2,3-d]pyrimidines as novel dihydrofolate reductase inhibitors.

A series of about fifty novel 5-arylfuro[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives were synthesized as potential inhibitors of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) arising from different species. Weak enzyme inhibition was observed for most of the compounds, with only a few reaching IC50 values less than 30 microM. With regards to antibacterial and anti-malarial potency, only seven compounds showed a modest in vi...
