title: Syntheses and biological activity studies of novel sterol analogs from nitroso Diels-Alder reactions of ergosterol.
abstract: A series of novel sterol analogs was prepared using nitroso Diels-Alder reactions with ergosterol. Most cycloaddition reactions proceeded in an excellent regio- and stereoselective fashion. Further N-O bond cleavage of cycloadducts generated compounds with biological activity in PC-3 and MCF-7 cancer cell lines.
