Design and synthesis of a new steroid-macrocyclic derivative with biological activity.

ABSTRACT: The aims of this study were to evaluate the positive inotropic effect of a new macrocyclic derivative (compound 11) and characterize the molecular mechanism involved in its biological activity. The first step was achieved by synthesis of a macrocyclic derivative involving a series of reactions for the preparation of several steroid derivatives such as (a) steroid-pyrimidinone (3 and 4), (b) steroid-amino (5), (c) steroid-imino (6), (d) ester-steroid (7 and 8), and (e) amido-steroid (9 and 10). Finally, 11 was prepared by removing the tert-butyldimethylsilane fragment of 10. The biological activity of compounds on perfusion pressure and vascular resistance was evaluated on isolated rat heart using the Langen
