A general approach towards the preparation of peptide-steroid conjugates has been addressed. Utilizing the Ugi reaction, five peptidomimetic-steroid hybrids were achieved in good to excellent yields from carboxy- and amino-spirostanes and mono-protected α-amino acids. Diverse synthetic routes, specially focused on the formation of secosteroids, were implemented to introduce Ugi-type functionalities at different positions of the steroidal nucleus. This versatile approach is suitable for the formation of stable conjugates of steroids with other biologically relevant molecules.
