Synthesis of Pregnane Derivatives, Their Cytotoxicity on LNCap and PC-3 Cells, and Screening on 5α-Reductase Inhibitory Activity

A series of epoxy- and/or 20-oxime pregnanes were synthesized from commercially available pregnenolone. Compounds 1, 3, 7, 8 and 11-13 were evaluated for cytotoxicity activity towards LNCaP (androgen-dependent) and PC-3 (androgenindependent) prostate cancer cells. Compound 13 showed the highest acti...
