Abstract
A series of six α-bromoketones derived from lithocholic acid was synthesized through an oxidative bromination reaction, with four of these compounds being reported for the first time. All products were characterized using NMR, IR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. The structures and crystalline packing of two α-bromoketones were further confirmed through X-ray diffraction analysis. The antibacterial activity of the compounds was evaluated against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial strains of clinical relevance.
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.
