Ls. Li et al., Steroid-fullerene adducts from Diels-Alder reactions: characterization andthe effect on the activity of Ca2+-ATPase, J CHEM S P1, (6), 2001, pp. 617-621
Two new fullerene steroids (1 and 6) have been prepared by the Diels-Alder
reaction of silyloxydienes (2 and 3) with [60]fullerene, followed by hydrol
ysis of the silyl enol ether under acidic conditions. The isolation, charac
terization, UV-Vis and CD absorption studies of the adducts are presented.
A preliminary study on the effect of 1 on sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+-
ATPase and survival of human lung adenocarcinoma cancer A(549) cells has al
so been carried out.
