Background: We have previously shown that some synthetic hydroxylated stigmastanes derived from plant sterols inhibit in vitro HSV-1 replication in ocular cell lines and decrease cytokine production in stimulated macrophages, suggesting that these steroids might combine antiviral and immunomodulating properties. In this paper we report the synthesis of some analogues fluorinated at C-6 in order to study the effect of this modification on bioactivity.Methods: The following methods were used: organic synthesis of fluorinated analogs, cytotoxicity determination with MTT assays, cytokine production quantification with ELISAs, glucocorticoid activity determination by displacement assays, immunofluorescence and transcriptional activity assays, st...
