Synthesis and structure of 4′,4′-dimethyl[16α,17α]spiropentanopregn-4-ene-3,20-dione

4′,4′-Dimethyl[16α,17α]spiropentanopregn-4-ene-3,20-dione was synthesized. The addition of diazo-2,2-dimethylcyclopropane generated from N-(2,2-dimethylcyclopropyl)-N-nitrosourea to 16,17-didehydropregnenolone acetate occurs regio-and stereospecifically to give 3β-acetoxy-1′,1′-dimethyl-20-oxopregn-5-ene-[16α,17α;7′,6′]-4′, 5′-diazaspiro[2.4]-hept-4′-ene in high yield. Its thermolysis affords a spiropentane-containing steroid, which is transformed into the target diketone. The anti position of the gem-dimethyl group in the fused spiropentane fragment is evident from the X-ray diffraction study of the final product. Dedicated to Academician O. M. Nefedov on the occasion of his 75th birthday. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 11, pp. 2040–2042, November, 2006.     

Crystal structure of 17-oxo-5α-androstano [3,4-C] 1′2′5′-oxadiazole (HS1000)

The title compound (C₁₉H₂₆N₂O₂) is one of a series of novel heteroatom steroidal derivatives recently prepared for testing their antifertility profiles and progesterone binding affinity. It is one of a pair of epimers differing in configuration at position 5. The X-ray analysis has uniquivocally resolved this ambiguity. The compound crystallizes in space group P2₁2₁2₁, a = 9.257(3), b = 9.419(3), c = 19.089(5)Å, and Z = 4 and the structure was solved by direct methods. In the steroid skeleton Ring A does not exhibit the chair conformation commonly found in the steroid nucleus, being considerably strained, presumably as a consequence of the fused planar oxadiazole ring E. Rings B and C, however, are chairs and ring D is in an intermediate envelope/half-chair conformation. All rings of the steroid skeleton are trans connected.     

Some derivatives of pregna-D6′-pentaranes as possible antagonists of progesterone

Some derivatives of progestins of the pregna-D₆-pentarane series have been obtained and examined for their possible hormonal and antihormonal activity in the Clauberg-McPhail assay as well as in the pregnancy maintenance test in ovariectomized rabbits. 16, 17-Cyclohexanoprogesterones of the 19-methyl and 19-nor series (1–4) saturated in ring A, which are inactive as progestins, exhibited a remarkable antiprogesterone effect. They decreased the McPhail index under combined administration with progesterone in a dose-dependable manner and completely inhibited the action of the latter in the pregnancy maintenance test.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

金属有机框架材料UiO-67富集净化牛奶中孕激素残留北大核心CSCD

该文制备了一种比表面积大、稳定性好的金属有机框架材料(MOF)UiO-67,将其用于复杂牛奶基质中痕量孕激素的富集和净化。结合超高效液相色谱-四极杆/静电场轨道离子阱高分辨质谱(UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap HRMS),建立了同时测定牛奶中7种孕激素残留的检测方法。采用X射线光电子能谱(XPS)对UiO-67吸附孕激素后的元素谱图进行测试分析,通过对比结合能和官能团相对含量的变化证明了UiO-67与孕激素间发生了化学作用,并研究了UiO-67对1 mg/L和5 mg/L孕激素的吸附效果。考察并优化了吸附剂用量、洗脱溶剂类型和pH值等关键参数,评价了基质效应对孕激素质谱信号的影响。优化结果显示,选择吸附剂用量为40 mg,在样品溶液pH值为5时,用5 mL丙酮洗脱目标物就可获得满意的回收率。基质效应在20%之内,可忽略不计。在优化条件下,7种孕激素在1~100μg/L范围内线性相关性良好,相关系数均达到0.99以上,方法的检出限(LOD)和定量限(LOQ)分别为0.06~0.30μg/L和0.19~1.0μg/L;在不同添加水平下,回收率为87.10%~105.58%,相对标准偏差为2.66%~9.64%。方法成功应用于实际牛奶样品中孕激素的测定,结果与SN/T 1980-2007标准得到的结果具有良好的吻合度。相比较已报道的牛奶中孕激素前处理技术和检测方法,该方法具有较高的灵敏度和满意的回收率,为今后这类材料在复杂基质中有毒有害物质的富集检测提供了新的借鉴思路。     

Regulation of activin A in cell proliferation and hormone secretion by human normal trophoblast cells

Regulation of activin A in cell proliferation as well as hCG and progesterone secretion was investigated using primary cultured cytotrophoblast cells and normal placenta origin cytotrophoblast cell line-NPC cells in serum-free system. It was shown that activin A promoted hCG and progesterone secretion in primary cultured cytotrophoblast cells as well as progesterone secretion in NPC cells, while it had no effect on cell proliferation and hCG secretion in NPC cells. Important evidence is provided for the autocrine regulatory mechanism of activin A on hormone secretion in placental trophoblast cells at early pregnancy.

Docking small ligands in flexible binding sites

A novel procedure for docking ligands in a flexible binding site is presented. It relies on conjugate gradient minimization, during which nonbonded interactions are gradually switched on. Short Monte Carlo minimization runs are performed on the most promising candidates. Solvation is implicitly taken into account in the evaluation of structures with a continuum model. It is shown that the method is very accurate and can model induced fit in the ligand and the binding site. The docking procedure has been successfully applied to three systems. The first two are the binding of progesterone and 5β-androstane-3,17-dione to the antigen binding fragment of a steroid binding antibody. A comparison of the crystal structures of the free and the two complexed forms reveals that any attempt to model binding must take protein rearrangements into account. Furthermore, the two ligands bind in two different orientations, posing an additional challenge. The third test case is the docking of N^α-(2-naphthyl-sulfonyl-glycyl)-D -para-amidino-phenyl-alanyl-piperidine (NAPAP) to human α-thrombin. In contrast to steroids, NAPAP is a very flexible ligand, and no information of its conformation in the binding site is used. All docking calculations are started from X-ray conformations of proteins with the uncomplexed binding site. For all three systems the best minima in terms of free energy have a root mean square deviation from the X-ray structure smaller than 1.5 Å for the ligand atoms. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
