Abstract—
The effect of the synthesized N-alkynyl-17-aminosteroids and N-alkynyl-20-aminosteroids (based on dehydroepiandrosterone and pregnenolone, respectively) on C6 rat glioma cell functions has been investigated. At 10 μM, the compounds had an insignificant effect on C6 glioma mitochondrial membrane potential, but increased cell autophagy by 70–90%; this effect was comparable to the known autophagy inducer dexamethasone. Docking simulations predict a potential high-affinity interaction between N-alkynylaminosteroids and Keap1 and the Hedgehog pathway protein, Smoothened, which are involved in autophagy regulation. The possible mechanisms of observed processes are discussed.
期刊介绍:
Biochemistry (Moscow), Supplement Series B: Biomedical Chemistry covers all major aspects of biomedical chemistry and related areas, including proteomics and molecular biology of (patho)physiological processes, biochemistry, neurochemistry, immunochemistry and clinical chemistry, bioinformatics, gene therapy, drug design and delivery, biochemical pharmacology, introduction and advertisement of new (biochemical) methods into experimental and clinical medicine. The journal also publishes review articles. All issues of the journal usually contain solicited reviews.
