摘要
Osteoporosis is a significant public health issue in our aging population. It is an excessive bone resorption condition brought on by osteoclastogenesis, which makes bones more brittle. In the present work, a series of novel heterosteroidal derivatives have been synthesized using the microwave technique and were evaluated as antiosteoclastogenic agents. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds have been confirmed using analytical and spectral data. The antiosteoclastogenic activity of the newly synthesized compounds was estimated in vitro against osteoclast-differentiated cells from the RAW 264.7 cell line. The pregnenolone dimer 10, the pyridinotestosterone derivative 2, and the phenylnicotinonitrile pregnenolone derivative 8a attained the most promising antiosteoclastogenic activity displaying IC (the half maximal inhibitory concentration) values of 5.45 ± 5.30, 11.88 ± 2.09, and 13.40 ± 3.00 µM, respectively, in comparison with dimethyl itaconate (IC  = 17.76 ± 3.20 µM) and alendronate (IC  = 4.48 ± 1.89 µM) as reference compounds. Finally, an in silico ADME (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Excretion) study was conducted to evaluate the synthesized compounds' pharmacokinetic and drug-likeness properties. The results manifested that almost all the investigated compounds' properties were compatible with the specified optimal range, which indicates their reassuring pharmacokinetic properties.
