Potent and selective steroidal inhibitors of 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 7, an enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of the key hormones estrone and dihydrotestosterone.

J. Med. Chem. 52 , 7488-502, (2009)

17beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 7 (17beta-HSD7) catalyzes the reduction of estrone (E(1)) into estradiol (E(2)) and of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) into 5alpha-androstane-3beta,17beta-diol (3beta-diol), therefore modulating the level of mitogenic estrog...

Novel and efficient synthesis and antifungal evaluation of 2,3-functionalized cholestane and androstane derivatives

Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 20 , 7372-5, (2010)

Synthetic modifications of cholesterol and other traditional steroid molecules have become a promising area for the exploration and development of novel antifungal agents, especially with respect to the development of fatty-acid esters of steroids. In additio...

[Bioconversion of C19- and C21-steroids with parent and mutant strains of Curvularia lunata].

Prikl. Biokhim. Mikrobiol. 46(2) , 212-20, (2010)

Regio- and stereospecificity of microbial hydroxylation was studied at the transformation of 3-keto-4-ene steroids of androstane and pregnane series by the filamentous fungus of Curvularia lunata VKMF-644. The products of the transformations were isolated by ...

Synthesis, antiproliferative activity, acute toxicity and assessment of the antiandrogenic activities of new androstane derivatives.

Arch. Pharm. Res. 34(7) , 1055-63, (2011)

A number of 17-oxo-5-androsten-3β-yl esters (9a-9f) and 3β-alkoxy-5-androsten-17-ones (11a-11e) were synthesized from commercially available (25R)-5-spirosten-3β-ol (Diosgenin) (4) as starting material. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antip...
