Abstract
Abstract 1 H NMR spectral investigation on the interaction of anisole (methoxybenzene) with five different (varying by ring size and substitution) cyclic 3α-hydroxy-5β-cholan-24-oic acid macrolides were performed. For 3α-hydroxy-5β-cholan-24-oic acid (lithocholic acid) macrolides (from triolide to pentolide) no effect was observed. In contrast, for 7α-trifluoroacetyloxy (7α-TFA) substituted lithocholate triolide obtained from chenodeoxycholic acid and for 12α-trifluoroacetyloxy (12α-TFA) substituted lithocholate triolide obtained from deoxycholic acid, clear site specific effects were observed. In the case of the 7α-TFA derivative, the aromatic guest causes the strongest up-field shift on the angular methyl 19 at the A/B ring junction of the steroid unit, and in 12α-TFA isomer the strongest effect is directed at the angular methyl 18 located at the C/D ring junction of the steroid skeleton. These findings are discussed in terms of steric factors and the size and flexibility of the cavity of the host molecule. Molecular mechanics is used in modeling the structures of three triolides.
