Moleculardesignandan attempt of synthesis of2-methoxyestradiol conjugate with adamantane

Abstract

2-Adamantyl-8-[(2-methoxy-estra-1,3,5(10)-trien-3,17β-diol-6α-yl)-amino] octanoate (2d) was proposed as a structural analogue of highly cytotoxic N-(8-(adamant-2-yloxi)-8-oxooctanoyl)-N-deacetylcolchycine based on molecular modeling data. The three-step synthesis of adamant-2-yl-8-amino octanoate (5) is described. The reductive amination of 2-methoxy-6-oxo-17β-estradiol in the presence of compound 5, NaBH3CN or Na(OAc)3BH in slightly acidic media afforded not the conjugate 2d, but the product of elimination at the C6–C7 bond of the steroid 7.
Key words: tubulin, colchicine, adamantane, 2-methoxyestradiol, reductive amination.
