Abstract
As an extended study on development of anti-Alzheimer's disease agent, we newly synthesized various dihydrofuran-fused perhydrophenanthrenes via o-quinodimethane chemistry. This study revealed that the introduction of carbon side-chain on 8-position or removal of the acetal moiety on 3-position arose a cytotoxicity on rat cortical neurons. On the other hand, the ethereal or thio-ethereal substituent on 8-position enhanced the elongation effect on Aβ-damaged neurons. The necessity of the cyano group on 10b position was also proved in this structure-activity-relationship study.
