A new series of 4-azasteroidal-17-hydrazone derivatives have been synthesized from androstenedione. Their structures were characterized by analysis and spectroscopic data. The antiproliferative activity of synthesized compounds against three cancer cells (human lung adenocarcinoma, human oesophageal cervical cancer, human gastric adenocarcinoma) and a normal cell line (human gastric mucosal) was investigated. The studies show that the compound bearing a naphthyl group displayed the same antiproliferative activity in vitro against tested cells as cis-platin did (a positive control). Most of the compounds show very weak toxicity towards normal human gastric mucosal cell line.
