Novel steroidal inhibitors of human cytochrome P45017 alpha (17 alpha-hydroxylase-C17,20-lyase): potential agents for the treatment of prostatic cancer
Abstract
Steroidal compounds having a 17-(3-pyridyl) substituent together with a 16,17-double bond have been synthesized, using a palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of a 17-enol triflate with diethyl(3-pyridyl)borane, which are potent inhibitors of human testicular 17 alpha-hydroxylase-C17,20-lyase. The requirement for these structural features is stringent: compounds having 2-pyridyl (9), 4-pyridyl (10), or 2-pyridylmethyl (11) substituents instead of the 3-pyridyl substituent were either poor inhibitors or noninhibitory. Reduction of the 16,17-double bond to give 17 beta-pyridyl derivatives diminished potency with 3-pyridyl substitution (3-->27; IC50 for lyase, 2.9-->23 nM) but increased it with a 4-pyridyl substituent present (10-->28; IC50 1 microM-->53 nM). In contrast, a variety of substitution patterns in rings A-C of the steroid skeleton afforded inhibitors having potencies similar to those most closely related structurally to the natural substrates pregnenolone and progesterone, respectively 17-(3-pyridyl)androsta-5,16-dien-3 beta-ol (3, Kiapp < 1 nM; IC50 for lyase, 2.9 nM) and 17-(3-pyridyl)androsta-4,16-dien-3-one (15; IC50 for lyase, 2.1 nM). Thus compounds having variously aromatic ring A (18), saturated rings A/B (21, 22), and oxygenated ring C (26) exhibited IC50 values for lyase (1.8-3.0 nM) falling within a 2-fold range. The most potent compounds are candidates for development as drugs for the treatment of hormone-dependent prostatic carcinoma.
