A series of PONASTERONE A (cas 13408-56-5) (PNA) derivatives with various steroid moieties were synthesized to measure their binding activity to the ecdysone receptors of Drosophila Kc cells. The activity of compounds was evaluated by determining the concentration required to give the 50% inhibition (IC50 in M) of the incorporation of [3H]PNA to Drosophila Kc cells. Compounds with no functional groups such as OH and CO group in the steroid skeleton moiety were inactive. By the introduction of functional groups such as the OH and the CO group in the steroidal structure, these compounds became active. Some compounds containing the A/B-trans ring fusion, which is different from that (A/B-cis) of ecdysteroids were also active. The oxidation of CH2 at 6-position to CO, enhanced the activity 19 times, but the activity was erased by the reduction of oxo to OH group at 6-position. The activity was enhanced about 250 times by the conversion of A/B ring configuration from trans [(20R,22R)-2β,3β,20,22-tetrahydroxy-5α-cholestan-6-one: pIC50 = 4.84] to cis [(20R,22R)-2β,3β,20,22-tetrahydroxy-5β-cholestan-6-one: pIC50 = 7.23]. The latter cis-type compound which is the most potent among compounds synthesized in this study was equipotent to the natural molting hormone, 20-hydroxyecdysone, even though it is 1/50 of PNA.
