During an initial study in searching for the alternative derivatives suitable for photolabeling of neuroactive steroids, perfluorobenzoates and perfluorobenzamides in position 17 of 5β-androstan-3α-ol were synthesized from the corresponding 17-hydroxy and 17-amino derivatives. After transformation into glutamates or sulfates, 17α-epimers had comparable inhibitory activity at NMDA receptors to the natural neurosteroid (20-oxo-5β-pregnan-3β-yl sulfate), however, were more potent (2- to 36-fold) than their 17β-substituted analogs. In one case, fluorine in position 4' of perfluorobenzoate group was substituted with azide and activity of the final glutamate was retained comparing with the corresponding perfluorobenzoate. The series was expanded with perfluorobenzoyl derivatives of pregnanolone: Perfluorobenzamide of glutamate and perfluorobenzoate of 11α-hydroxy pregnanolone were prepared and tested. From nine tested compounds, four of them exhibit very good inhibition activity and can serve as promising leads for photolabeling experiments.

We have prepared 20-oxo-5α- and 20-oxo-5β-pregnane-3-carboxylic acids by palladium catalyzed alkoxycarbonylation using triflate and nonaflate as the leaving groups in this substitution reaction. The activity of the synthesized compounds was studied in cultured rat hippocampal neurons under voltage-clamp conditions. The 5β-carboxylic acid derivatives were found to diminish NMDA-induced responses, whereas the 5α-derivative potentiated the response.
Analogs of pregnanolone (3α-hydroxy-5β-pregnan-20-one), modified in position 17 were prepared. Compounds with 20-keto pregnane side chain replaced completely by azide (17α- and 17β-azido-5β-androstan-3α-ol), compounds with its part replaced (20-azido-21-nor-5β-pregnan-3α-ol), and compounds with keto group only replaced ((20R)- and (20S)-20-azido-5β-pregnan-3α-ol) were synthesized using tosylate displacements with sodium azide or Mitsunobu reaction with azoimide. All five azido steroids were converted into corresponding sulfates. Subsequent tests for inhibition of glutamate induced response on NMDA receptors revealed that modification of pregnanolone sulfate side chain with azide did not disturb the activity and some of sulfates tested were more active than parent compound.
A series of keto steroids were reduced with sodium borohydride in the presence of cerium(III) chloride or samarium(III) iodide (Luche reduction). The ratios of axial and equatorial alcohols were determined by HPLC and the results were compared with those obtained by a standard sodium borohydride reduction. The best results were obtained with the 2-keto derivative 1, 7-keto derivatives 5 and 6, and 12-keto derivative 8 where the cerium(III) ion addition resulted in the inversion of the axial/equatorial ratios. The Luche reduction of the 20-keto derivative 11 improved the proportion of the (20S)-alcohol in a mixture of (20S)/(20R) alcohols up to 35% from 5% in a standard sodium borohydride reduction.
The synthesis of several novel 5alpha- and 5beta-20-oxo-pregnane derivatives substituted in the position 3 and 7 of the steroid skeleton is described. Activity of synthesized compounds was studied in voltage-clamped cultured rat hippocampal neurons. Substituted derivatives inhibited NMDA-elicited neuronal activity. The relationship between biological activity and structure is discussed.

New type of linear cholesterol-like molecules based on cholesterol extended by attachment of etienic acid derivatives was designed and oligosteroids with two to four units were synthesized. Amide bond was used for inter steroid connections and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole active ester method was adapted for their formations. Use of disteroids as larger building blocks was applied.
Twelve steroidal platinum(II) complexes were synthesized by reaction of potassium tetrachloroplatinate with steroidal esters of L-methionine and L-histidine. The steroidal esters coordinated as bidentate ligands via S and N donor atoms of L-methionine and via two N donor atoms of L-histidine. Cholesterol, cholestanol, diosgenine, pregnenolone, dehydroepiandrosterone, testosterone, estrone, and estradiol were used as the steroidal compounds. The esters and complexes prepared were characterized by infrared, mass, and (1)H NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Platinum complexes were tested for in vitro cytotoxicity against several cancer cell lines: T-lymphoblastic leukemia CEM, breast carcinoma MCF-7, lung carcinoma A-549, multiple myeloma RPMI 8226, and one normal cell line human fibroblast BJ.

Steroidal 3-fluoroderivatives were prepared from corresponding tosylates using tetrabutylammonium difluorodimethylphenylsilicate as fluorinating agent. The reaction was tested on all four possible C-3 and C-5 stereoisomers of cholestane and 17-oxoandrostane skeletons. In this reaction only one isomer was always formed with opposite configuration at C-3 to starting tosylate. The reaction is accompanied by elimination which affords a mixture of corresponding olefines.
