摘要:
Provided herein are steroidal compounds that are androsta-5,7-dienes or a pregna-5,7-dienes and ultraviolet B (UVB) conversion products thereof which includes pharmaceutical compositions of the steroidal compounds as shown in Tables 1 and 2. Also provided is a method for producing hydroxylated metabolites of cholecalciferol or ergocalciferol via the P450scc (CYP11A1) or CYP27B1 enzyme systems where the hydroxylase has an activity to hydroxylate position C20 of a secosteroid or its 5,7-dieneal precursor and the hydroxylated metabolites so produced. In addition, a method for inhibiting proliferation of either a normally or abnormally proliferating cell by contacting the cell with any of the compounds described herein. A related method is provided of treating a condition associated with the proliferating cell such as a cancer, a skin disorder, a defect in cell differentiation, cosmetic, prophylaxsis, or healthy cell maintenance.
摘要:
The glutamic acid residue of corticotropin-releasing hormone analogs have had the position 20 amino acid residue replaced with a D-amino acid moiety. The resulting CRH analogs do not significantly lower blood pressure but have anti-proliferative actions in cell culture and inhibit experimental cancer growth in animals (mice and rats). Novel applications of such analogs are described, such as to inhibit abnormal cell proliferation for conditions such as cancer, including melanoma, and for inflammatory dermatoses, such as psoriasis.
