Abstract

A new naphthalene-androsterone derivative was synthesized by the reaction of naphthalenyl succinate with an androsterone-succinate-ethylenediamine conjugate in the presence of 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide. In order to delineate the structural chemical requirements of naphthalene- androsterone some physicochemical descriptors were evaluated. The results showed an increase in the values of these for the naphthalene-androsterone derivative in comparison with naphthalenyl succinate and androsterone-succinate- ethylenediamine. These data suggest a relationship between the evaluated physicochemical parameters and the degree of lipophilicity of the naphthalene-androsterone derivative.
