ANABOLIC CYANOSTEROIDS AND THEIR BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES – A BRIEF REVIEW
Journal Title: WORLD JOURNAL PHARMACY AND PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCE - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 12
Abstract
The present review describes the biological activities of synthetic anabolic cyanosteroids. More than forty biologically active compounds have shown confirmed anti-tumour, anti-inflammatory, antiviral and other activities. The structures and reported and predicted activities of synthetic cyanosteroids are available. With the computer programme PASS and based on structure–activity relationships (SAR), some additional activities are also predicted, which point towards new possible applications of these lipids. This review emphasizes the role of cyanosteroids as an important source and potential leads for drug discovery and they are of great interest to chemists, physicians, biologists, pharmacologists and the pharmaceutical industry.
