Abstract

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 ...
