Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Synthetic modifications of cholesterol and other traditional steroid molecules have become a promising area for the exploration and development of novel antifungal agents, especially with respect to the development of fatty-acid esters of steroids. In addition, 2,3-functionalized steroids are also compounds with potentially interesting biological properties and proper functionalization of 2,3-steroids can lead to the development of efficient syntheses of building blocks for novel fatty-acid esters of steroids. In this Letter, we outline a novel and efficient approach to the synthesis of 2,3-functionalized cholestane and androstane derivatives and present their promising preliminary antifungal activities against a number of fungal species.
