    甾体源手性羟基多烯刚性螺环的合成及抗肿瘤活性

    Synthesis and antitumor activity of a steroid-derived chiral hydroxyl-containing polyene rigid spirocycle

    • 摘要: 为了获得结构新颖的含手性羟基多烯刚性螺环化合物,并探究其抗肿瘤活性及可能机制,以雄烯二酮二聚物为原料,在氮气保护、0~5 ℃下将硼氢化钠(与原料摩尔比4.2)于2.0 h内匀速加入其乙醇溶液中进行区域选择性还原,再经稀盐酸催化消去得到目标化合物。采用液质联用、核磁共振及单晶X射线衍射确证结构,并通过体外细胞实验评价其抗肿瘤活性和机制。结果表明,最优工艺下收率为73.0%,产物螺环中心及两个五元环上手性羟基碳原子均确证为S构型。该化合物对结直肠癌HCT-116、乳腺癌MCF-7、宫颈癌HeLa和肝癌HepG2细胞的增殖均显示显著抑制活性,半数抑制浓度(IC50)值分别为3.19 ± 0.35、6.92 ± 0.68、10.41 ± 1.90和11.67 ± 1.49 μM。机制研究发现,它能浓度依赖性地诱导HCT-116细胞内活性氧(ROS)聚集。研究结论为,该含手性羟基多烯刚性螺环化合物可能通过氧化应激途径发挥抗肿瘤作用,这一发现为设计基于ROS调控的新型甾体抗肿瘤药物提供了参考。

       

      Abstract: To obtain a structurally novel steroid-derived chiral hydroxyl-containing polyene rigid spirocycle and to explore its antitumor activity and underlying mechanism, the target compound was synthesized from androstenedione dimer. Under nitrogen protection at 0–5 ℃, sodium borohydride (molar ratio to substrate 4.2) was uniformly added to an ethanol solution of the dimer over 2.0 h for regioselective reduction, followed by dilute hydrochloric acid-catalyzed elimination. The structure was confirmed by LC-MS, NMR spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and the in vitro antitumor activity and mechanism were evaluated through cell-based assays. The results showed that under the optimized conditions, the yield reached 73.0%. The spiro center and the two chiral hydroxyl-bearing carbon atoms on the five-membered rings were all assigned as S configuration. The compound exhibited significant antiproliferative activity against colorectal cancer HCT-116, breast cancer MCF-7, cervical cancer HeLa, and hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells, with half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of 3.19 ± 0.35, 6.92 ± 0.68, 10.41 ± 1.90, and 11.67 ± 1.49 μM, respectively. Mechanistic studies revealed that it induced intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation in HCT-116 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. These findings indicate that this steroid-derived spirocycle may exert its antitumor effects via the oxidative stress pathway, providing a reference for the design of novel steroidal antitumor drugs based on ROS modulation.
