Abstract

The reactions of 17α-hydroxyprogesterone with Lawesson's reagent (LR) in toluene, CH 2Cl 2 and/or CCl 4 gave, depending on the duration of the reaction, two diastereoisomeric androst-4-en-17-spiro-1, 3,2-oxathiaphospholane-2-sulfide pairs 2a,b and 3a,b in approximately 7:3 ratio, differing in configuration at the phosphorus atom. A parallel analysis of heteronuclear 2D 1H- 13C spectra (HSQC and HMBC) and homonuclear 2D spectra (NOESY) enabled complete 1H and 13C assignments of each isomer. Also, analysis of NOESY correlations provided evidence for the preferred conformation. X-ray analysis of 3a confirmed the structure and absolute configuration on phosphorus. A pathway for the formation of 1,3,2-oxathiaphospholane ring was proposed. Cytotoxic activity in vitro was tested against three tumor cell lines (human cervix carcinoma HeLa cells and two human breast carcinoma MDA-MB-361 and MDA-MB-453 cells). Compound 3a and mixture 3a,b showed a moderate activity against HeLa and MDA-MB-453 cell lines while against MDA-MB-361 cell line all tested compounds exerted very weak cytotoxic effect. Antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive, Gram-negative bacteria and fungal cells, toxicity to brine shrimp Artemia salina, were evaluated. All tested compounds showed strong antifungal activity. © 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
