Bio-Catalytic Structural Transformation of Anti-cancer Steroid, Drostanolone Enanthate with Cephalosporium aphidicola and Fusarium lini, and Cytotoxic Potential Evaluation of Its Metabolites against Certain Cancer Cell Lines

Abstract: In search of selective and effective anti-cancer agents, eight metabolites of anti-cancer steroid, drostanolone enanthate (1), were synthesized via microbial biotransformation. Enzymes such as reductase, oxidase, dehydrogenase, and hydrolase from Cephalosporium aphidicola, and Fusarium lini were likely involved in the biotransformation of 1 into new metabolites at pH 7.0 and 26°C, yielding five new metabolites, 2α-methyl-3α,14α,17β-trihydroxy-5α-androstane (2), 2α-methyl-7α-hydroxy-5α-androstan-3,17-dione (3),… Show more

“…Drostanolone (Figure 2) has secondary antiestrogenic activity 19 and does not cause a significant virilizing effect 20 . Therefore, its therapeutic use includes treatment of breast cancer in women as a propionate ester 21 . It is one of the most frequently detected AASs, 1–7 and its misuse is monitored by GC–MS focusing on the 3α‐hydroxy‐2α‐methyl‐5α‐androstan‐17‐one metabolite after the hydrolysis of the glucuronide with E. coli –derived β‐glucuronidase 22 .…”

“…Similarly, OH group at C-14 was deduced as α on the basis of reported chemical shift for 14α-OH in similar steroidal compound. 18 Thus the structure of a new compound was deduced as 2α-methyl-3β,14α,17β-trihydroxy-5α-androstane (8).…”

“…12 Similarly, several metabolites of drostanolone on incubation with cryopreserved human hepatocytes are also reported. 13 In continuation of our structural transformation studies on steroidal drugs, [14][15][16][17][18][19][20] biotransformation of drostanolone heptanoate (1) was carried out. Based on small scale screening results, compound 1 was subjected to biotransformation by using two microbial cell cultures, Beauveria bassiana, and Macrophomina phaseolina, for the rst time, yielding seven new, and two known compounds.…”

“…PCF11 was positively correlated with nelarabine and vorinostat (Figure 7). All these drugs modulate the tumor immune microenvironment to induce cancer cell death (33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45)(46).…”
