Abstract
Double-headed warheads focusing on the pharmacological aspects as well as membrane permeability can contribute a lot to medicinal chemistry. Over the past few decades, a lot of research has been conducted on steroid-heterocycle conjugates as possible therapeutic agents against a variety of disorders. In the second half of the 20th century, successful research was conducted on cholesterol-based heterocyclic moieties. Keeping in view the biological significance of various triazoles, research on fusion with cholesterol has emerged. This review has been designed to explore the chemistry of cholesterol-based triazoles for the duration from 2010 to 2023 and their significance in medicinal chemistry.
期刊介绍:
STEROIDS is an international research journal devoted to studies on all chemical and biological aspects of steroidal moieties. The journal focuses on both experimental and theoretical studies on the biology, chemistry, biosynthesis, metabolism, molecular biology, physiology and pharmacology of steroids and other molecules that target or regulate steroid receptors. Manuscripts presenting clinical research related to steroids, steroid drug development, comparative endocrinology of steroid hormones, investigations on the mechanism of steroid action and steroid chemistry are all appropriate for submission for peer review. STEROIDS publishes both original research and timely reviews. For details concerning the preparation of manuscripts see Instructions to Authors, which is published in each issue of the journal.
