Résumé

In this study, we synthesized androsta-4,14-diene-3,16-dione, 12β-hydroxyandrosta-4,14-diene-3,16-dione, and other 3,16-androstenedione derivatives from commercially available dehydroepiandrosterone as a starting material in 9-13 steps with high yields. The bioactivity of the obtained compounds was evaluated. Compounds 14a and 23a were shown to have high antitumor activity against acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell lines Nalm-6 and BALL-1, respectively. Network pharmacology analysis showed that the anti-leukemia activity of compounds 14a and 23a might be related to the JAK2, ABL1 protein, and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways. The molecular docking of compounds 14a and 23a identified possible active sites, with the lowest docking scores for PTGS2 and MAPK14, respectively. In addition, the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion prediction results revealed the drug-likeness of the two compounds. Therefore, compounds 14a and 23a should be considered anti-leukemia candidates in future studies.
