Nonsteroidal benzophenone-containing analogues of cholesterol

The four benzophenones, 10-13, containing the natural side chain of cholesterol (1) have been synthesized to explore whether the tetracyclic nucleus of 1 is essential for its biochemical properties. The syntheses of analogues 10, 11, and 13 feature efficient introduction of the alkyl side chain by Suzuki coupling. Preliminary biochemical evaluation of 10 and 12 suggests that the sterol tetracyclic nucleus is not required for biological compatibility with 1.
