    Abstract:
    The heterocyclic ring at C-17 position of the androstane compounds plays an important role in biological activity. The aim of the present study was to synthesize and evaluate potential antitumor activity of different A-modified 17α-picolyl and 17(E)-picolinylidene androstane derivatives. In several synthetic steps, novel derivatives bearing the hydroximino, nitrile or lactame functions in A-ring were synthesized and characterized according to the spectral data, by mass analysis as well as XRD analysis (compounds 6, 13 and 15). The structurally most promising compounds 6, 11-17 were investigated as antitumor agents. The in vitro antiproliferative activity was evaluated against six human cancer cell lines: estrogen receptor negative (ER-) breast adenocarcinoma (MDA-MB-231); estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7); prostate cancer (PC-3); human cervical carcinoma (HeLa); lung adenocarcinoma (A549) and colon adenocarcinoma (HT-29) using MTT assay. The results of the 48h incubation time in vitro tests showed that compound 15 was the most effective against PC-3 (IC50 6.6μM), compound 17 against MCF-7 (IC50 7.9μM) cells, while compound 16 exhibited strong antiproliferative effect against both, MCF-7 (IC50 1.7μM) and PC-3 (IC50 8.7μM) cancer cells. It was also found that compounds 16 and 17 induced apoptosis in MCF-7 cells (dicyano derivative 17 stronger then dioxime 16 and reference formestane), with no distinct changes in the cell cycle of MCF-7 cells.
