Abstract

6-Aza steroid analogues were synthesized as PI-PLC inhibitors. The most active compound, 3β-hydroxy-6-aza-cholestane (1) showed potent PI-PLC inhibition (IC50= 1.8 μM), similar to that of the commercially available steroid analogue U73122 (IC50= 1–2.1 μM). Compound 1 exhibited significant growth inhibition effects (IC50= 1.3 μM in each case) against MCF-7 and HT-29 cancer cells in in vitro cell culture. Compound 1 also inhibited the in vitro ...
