- Synthesis of D-Ring Annulated Pyridosteroids from β-Formyl Enamides and Their Biological Evaluations
-
Herein, we report the synthesis of a novel class of substituted androst[17,16-b]pyridines (pyridosteroids) from the reaction of β-formyl enamides with alkynes in high yields. The optimized reaction protocol was extended to acyclic and cyclic β-formyl enamides to afford nonsteroidal pyridines. Cell survival assay of all compounds were carried against prostate cancer PC-3 cells wherein 3-hydroxy-5-en-2′,3′-dicarbethoxy-androst[17,16-b]pyridine showed the highest cytotoxic activity. Phase contrast microscopy and flow cytometry studies exhibited marked morphological features characteristic of apoptosis in 3-hydroxy-5-en-2′,3′-dicarbethoxy-androst[17,16-b]pyridine and abiraterone treated PC-3 cells. The treatment of 3-hydroxy-5-en-2′,3′-dicarbethoxy-androst[17,16-b]pyridine induces G2/M phase cell cycle arrest in prostate cancer PC-3 cells. Enhancement of apoptotic inductions of PC-3 cells by 3-hydroxy-5-en-2′,3′-dicarbethoxy-androst[17,16-b]pyridine and abiraterone through the activation of caspases-6, -7, and -8 pathways were supported by qRT-PCR. In silico study of the compound 3-hydroxy-5-en-2′,3′-dicarbethoxy-androst[17,16-b]pyridine showed stable and promising interaction with the key caspase proteins. Our studies revealed that the pyridosteroid 3-hydroxy-5-en-2′,3′-dicarbethoxy-androst[17,16-b]pyridine, bearing pyridine-2,3-dicarbethoxy pharmacophore, facilitated initiation of caspase-8 and activates downstream effectors caspase-6 and caspase-7 and thereby triggering apoptosis of PC-3 cancer cells.

- Ruthenium-catalyzed hydrovinylation of N-acetylenamines leading to amines with a quaternary carbon center
-
A catalytic hydrovinylation of N-acetylenamines with ethylene is reported. This new hydrovinylation reaction is catalyzed by a ruthenium hydride complex, RuHCl(CO)(PCy3)2, providing a series of N-acetylamines with a quaternary carbon center with up to 99% yield.

- PREPARATION OF CHIRAL AMIDES AND AMINES
-
This invention provides a convenient method for converting oximes into enamides. The process does not require the use of metallic reagents. Accordingly, it produces the desired compounds without the concomitant production of a large volume of metallic waste. The enamides are useful precursors to amides and amines. The invention provides a process to convert a prochiral enamide into the corresponding chiral amide. In an exemplary process, a chiral amino center is introduced during hydrogenation through the use of a chiral hydrogenation catalyst. In selected embodiments, the invention provides methods of preparing amides and amines that include the 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-N-alkyl-1-naphthalenamine or 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthalenamine substructure.
