摘要
We report a rapid and efficient synthesis of A-ring modified 17 alpha-picolyl and 17(E)-picolinylidene androstane derivatives from dehydroepiandrosterone. Compounds were validated spectroscopically and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. Virtual screening by molecular docking against clinical targets of steroidal anticancer drugs (ER alpha, AR, Aromatase and CYP17A1) suggests that 17(E)-picolinylidene, but not 17 alpha-picolyl androstanes could specifically interact with CYP17A1 (17 alpha-hydroxylase) with similar geometry and affinity as Abiraterone, a 17-pyridinyl androstane drug clinically used in the treatment of prostate cancer. In addition, several 17(E)-picolinylidene androstanes demonstrated selective antiproliferative activity against PC3 prostate cancer cells, which correlates with Abiraterone antiproliferative activity and predicted CYP17A1 binding affinities. Based on these preliminary results, 17(E)-picolinylidene androstane derivatives could be a promising starting point for the development of new compounds for the treatment of prostate cancer.
