New analogues of 3beta-hydroxy-5alpha-cholest-8(14)-en-15-one (15-ketosterol) with modified 17-chains [(22S,23S,24S)- and (22R,23R,24S)-3beta-hydroxy-24-methyl-22,23-oxido-5alpha-cholest-8(14)-en-15-ones and (22RS,23xi,24S)-24-methyl-5alpha-cholesta-3beta,22,23-triol-15-one] were synthesized from (22E,24S)-3beta-acetoxy-24-methyl-5alpha-cholesta-8(14),22-dien-15-one. The chiralities of their 22 and 23 centers were determined by NMR spectroscopy. The isomeric 22,23-epoxides effectively inhibited cholesterol biosynthesis in hepatoma Hep G2 cells (IC50 0.9 +/- 0.2 and 0.7 +/- 0.2 microM, respectively), and their activities significantly exceeded those of 15-ketosterol (IC50 4.0 +/- 0.5 microM), (22E,24S)-3beta-hydroxy-24-methyl-5alpha-cholesta-8(14),22-dien-15-one (IC50 3.1 +/- 0.4 microM), and the 3beta,22,23-triol synthesized (IC50 6.0 +/- 1.0 microM).
