Popis: The synthesis of five steroid-oligo(ethyleneglycol) conjugates ( 1 – 5 ) has been accomplished starting from commercially available epi -androsterone ( 8 ) and known 3β-[( tert -butyldiphenylsilyl)oxy]-5α-23,24-bisnorchol-16-en-6α,7β,22-triol ( 27 ). The synthetic strategy was based on a convergent approach including stereoselective C-17 side chains construction and standard coupling reactions. The activities of the head-to-tail amphiphiles, once incorporated in 95:5 egg PC/PG vesicular membranes, have been assessed by direct determination of transported species by NMR techniques ( 23 Na + ) and fluorescence spectroscopy (H + ). The sodium and proton transmembrane transport was compared to those evaluated for the polyene macrolide antibiotic amphotericin B and those shown by the known related C 2 -symmetric sterol-polyether conjugates 6 and 7 .
