β-Triazoly enones are biologically interesting scaffolds, incorporation of such scaffolds into the steroid nucleus may generate new bioactive steroids and further enrich structural types of steroids. In this work, a series of new steroidal β-triazoly enones were synthesized based on click chemistry and Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction and further evaluated for their antiproliferative activity against a panel of cancer cells. Most of these compounds showed better potency against PC-3 and MGC-803 cells. Particularly, compound 5a inhibited PC-3 and MGC-803 cells potently with the IC50 values of 1.61 and 1.16 μM, respectively, and was less toxic toward GES-1 with an IC50 value of 20.72 μM. Further mechanistic studies showed that compound 5a inhibited migration and invasion of MGC-803 and PC-3 dose-dependently. Treatment with compound 5a varied mRNA levels and protein expression of EMT markers in both cells. Collectively, the steroidal β-triazoly enones could be potentially utilized to develop new anticancer agents with the ability of inhibiting cell migration and invasion.

D013256 Steroids A group of polycyclic compounds closely related biochemically to TERPENES. They include cholesterol, numerous hormones, precursors of certain vitamins, bile acids, alcohols (STEROLS), and certain natural drugs and poisons. Steroids have a common nucleus, a fused, reduced 17-carbon atom ring system, cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene. Most steroids also have two methyl groups and an aliphatic side-chain attached to the nucleus. (From Hawley's Condensed Chemical Dictionary, 11th ed) Steroid,Catatoxic Steroids,Steroids, Catatoxic
