Article Abstract
Starting from dehydroepiandrosterone (1) 17-picolyl (2), 17-picolinylidene (7), 17-picolinylidene-16-one (10 and 11), and 17-picolyl-16-one (15) derivatives of androst-5-ene were synthesized in one, two, four and five steps respectively. By the Oppenauer oxidation or dehydration of 2, 7, 10, and 11 with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ), the corresponding A and B ring modified derivatives 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 12-14 were obtained. The structure of 2 was unambiguously proved by the appropriate X-ray structural analysis. Compounds 3, 5, 9, 12-14 showed inhibitory activity against the enzyme aromatase. Antibacterial activity, toxicity to brine shrimp Artemia salina, antitumor activity against three tumor cell lines (human cervix carcinoma HeLa cells, human melanoma FemX cells, and human myelogenous leukemia K562 cells) and toxicity against peripheral blood mononuclear cells were evaluated. Three tested compounds, namely 11, 13, and 15, showed strong activity against all three cell lines, the IC(50) values being in the range of 4-10 microM.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on analyzing the lipophilicity and ADMET profiles of a series of androstane derivatives to understand their potential as antiproliferative agents against breast adenocarcinoma cells.
- It employs 3D-QSAR and ligand-based pharmacophore modeling techniques to predict the compounds' effects and identify key structural features that enhance their anticancer activity.
- The findings aim to guide the design and synthesis of new, effective androstane derivatives, providing a framework for developing potential anticancer drugs.

The present paper deals with prediction of cytotoxic activity of 17-picolyl and 17-picolinylidene androstane derivatives toward androgen receptor negative prostate cancer cell line (PC-3). The prediction was achieved applying artificial neural networks (ANNs) method on the basis of molecular descriptors. The most important descriptors (skin permeability (SP), Madin-Darby canine kidney cell permeability (MDCK) and universal salt solubility factor (S+SF)) were selected by using stepwise selection coupled with partial least squares method.

New 17-picolyl and 17-picolinylidene androstane derivatives, 3-10, 15, 18, 19, 22 and 23, were synthesized starting from 17α-picolyl-androst-5-en-3β,17β-diol (1) and 17(Z)-picolinylidene-androst-5-en-3β-ol (2). Reaction of 1 with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid gives 5α,6α-epoxy N-oxide derivative 3, or, with Jones reagent, 3,6-dione derivative 4; while 17α-picolyl-androst-5-en-3β,4α,17β-triol (5) or 3β,4β,17β-triol (6) derivatives are obtainable from 1 using SeO(2) in dioxane. Base-catalyzed tosyl group elimination from 7 or 9 affords AB conjugated derivatives 8 and 10.
