Resumen:
A series of 1,2,3-triazolylsterols was prepared from pregnenolone through reductive amination and copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (click chemistry). The newly generated stereocenter of the key propargylamino intermediate provided a mixture of diastereomers which were separated chromatographically, and the configuration of theRisomer was determined by X-ray crystallography. Ten triazolyl sterols were prepared, and the products and intermediates were screenedin vitro against different parasites, with some compounds presenting IC50values in the low micromolar range against Leishmania donovani.
