    5.1 Introduction

    Malaria kills 1-2 million people each year and 300-500 million new clinical cases

    of malaria are reported annually. 1 Malaria is a particularly devastating disease in sub-

    Saharan Africa, where about 90% of cases and deaths occur. Malaria is also a serious

    public health problem in certain regions of South East Asia and South America. Human

    malaria transmitted by female Anopheles mosquitoes is caused by four species of

    Plasmodium, which are, P. falciparum, P. vivax, P. ovale and P. malariae. Most cases of

    malaria and deaths are caused by P. falciparum. The development of resistance to

    mainstay drugs like chloroquine, and controlled use of new artemisinin analogs have

    created an urgent need to discover new antimalarial agents. The life cycle, immunological

    defense mechanisms, and clinical development of malaria in humans is a complex

    process? Clinical malaria is characterized by periodic fever, which follows the lysis of

    infected erythrocytes, and caused mainly by the induction of cytokines interleukin-1 and

    tumor necrosis factor. P. falciparum infection can have serious effects, for example,

    anemia, cerebral complications (from coma to convulsions), hypoglycemia and

    glomerulonephritis. The disease is most serious in the non-immune individuals, including

    children, pregnant women and tourists.

    Pregnanes, the C-21 steroid derivatives, are an important class of bioactive

    compounds having diverse pharmacological activity and which has provided interesting

    'leads' for the development of new drugs. These potent pregnane derivatives have been

    found to posses cytotoxic,3 antifeedant,4 anti-inflammatory,5•6 anti-asthamatic/ lipid

    lowering8 and anti-viral9 activities. They also find use as neurosteroids10 and as inhibitors

    of testosterone 7 a reductase11 which helps in the treatment of androgen sensitive prostate

    cancer in men. 12 Besides this, a number of pregnanes are not only similar to cardiac

    glycosides with respect to molecular and cellular site of action, but they have enhanced

    cardiac contractibility. 13 Pregnane glycosides because of their remarkable

    pharmacological activities are one of the major components of traditional Chinese

    medicine. 14 These biologically active compounds isolated chiefly from Asclepiadaceae15

    family plants have been found to posses anti-cancer, 16 anti-asthamatic, 17 anti-tumor18 and

    anti-fungal activities. 19 The synthetic derivatives of this class of compounds are larger,

    more hydrophilic, have increased efficacy and reduced toxicity relative to the parent

    compound 20 and have primarily been used for the treatment of ulcerative colitis,21

    Crohn's disease21 and cardiac contractibility.22 Owing to the immense importance of these

    171

  • Chapter-5 Synthesis of 16-dehydropregnenolone derivatives and their biological activity

    medicinally important pregnane derivatives, considerable attention is being devoted to the

    synthesis and biological evaluation of this important class of compounds. 22- 29 In the

    search of newer derivatives, the synthesis of novel pregnane derivatives in excellent yields

    and anti-malarial activity is given below.

    5.2 Chemical transformation of 16-dehydropregnenolone: The syntheses

    of amine analogues of pregnenolone were accomplished by subjecting the naturally

    isolated 16-dehydropregnenolone using various aromatic and aliphatic amine by

    employing Michael addition reaction at 45°C for 4 h to afford amine derivative of

    pregnenolone (1-9) in very good yield.

    5.3 Anti-malarial Activity

    Derivative of pregnenolone were screened for their in-vitro antimalarial activity

    against chloroquine (CQ) sensitive 3D7 strain of P. falciparum. Chloroquine was used as

    reference drug. Among the screen compounds (1-9), compound 4 showed activity.

    Activity was evaluated at 10, 2 and 1 J..tg/mL. Compounds with MIC value :S 10 J..tg/ml are

    given in Table 1.

    5.4.1 Representative procedure for the preparation of N-propylamine derivative of 16-

    dehydropregnenolone (3P-Hydroxy-16a-(propylamino)pregn-5-en-20-one) (1)

    Compound 1 was obtained from 16-dehydropregnenolone acetate (100 mg, 0.28 mmol)

    and N-propylamine. N-propylamine was also used as solvent. The reaction mixture was

    stirred for 4 h at 45°C. The reaction mixture was cooled, filtered and then extracted with

    EtOAc and H20, the extract was evaporated under reduced pressure. Then the crude

    product was chromatographed on silica gel to afford the desired compound lA and lB.

    Yield: lA 45% and lB 40%
