Synthesis of a cholestane glycoside OSW-1 with potent cytostatic activity (original) (raw)

2002, Carbohydrate Research

The potent antitumor agent OSW-1 was synthesized from the protected aglycone in different ways. It was proven that direct glycosylation of the aglycone in its hemiketal form could be achieved, affording the protected OSW-1 in a moderate yield. Alternatively, regioselective protection of the triol obtained by reduction of the aglycone, followed by glycosylation, deprotection and oxidation yielded the same OSW-1 derivative. The third approach to this compound consisted of glycosylation of the previously described lactol Gryszkiewicz, A. Polish J. Chem. 2001, 75, 983-989], reaction of the resulting aldehyde with a Grignard reagent, and oxidation. OSW-1 obtained on removal of the protective groups was identical with the natural product.
