Novel fluconazole/bile acid conjugates were designed and their regioselective synthesis was achieved in very high yield via Cu(I) catalyzed intermolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. These new molecules showed good antifungal activity against Candida species. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of propargyl esters of bile acids to azide group attached at different positions of bile acids gave dimers, trimer, and tetramer linked with 1,2,3-triazole. These dimeric and oligomeric structures were able to solubilize hydrophilic dye-cresol red, in nonpolar solvent. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

New bile acid-based amino sterols were synthesized in good yields from C-3 beta-oxiranes as key intermediates. These derivatives were evaluated for their in vitro antimicrobial properties against human pathogens. These compounds showed better antibacterial activity as compared to antifungal activity. Compounds 21 and 22 showed comparable antibacterial activity to gentamicin against Staphylococcus aureus with IC(50) values of 5.14 and 4.46 mu g/mL. This is the first report for the synthesis of C-3 beta-oxiranes on the steroids having A/B cis ring junction and these oxiranes have been used for the synthesis of amino sterols 17, 18, 21, and 22.
