摘要:
The present invention relates to a compound having the formula A-B-C, wherein A is a hydroxyl containing steroidal hormone; C is a nitrite or nitrate containing compound; and B is lower alkyl, lower alkenyl, lower alkynyl, and to pharmaceutical compositions thereof. These compounds are anti-inflammatory and vasodilation agents.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a range of therapeutic compounds conjugated to one to three acyl groups derived from fatty acids. The therapeutic compounds are selected from the following group: 1) the corticosterone family of drugs; 2) opioids and opioid antagonists; 3) antiviral nucleosides, such as AZT; 4) cyclosporins and related cyclopeptides; 5) folate antagonists including methotrexate, folic acid and folic acid analogues; 6) catecholamine precursors, such as DOPA and Dopamine, and catecholamines, such as adrenaline and noradrenaline and derivatives; and 7) alkylating agents containing a carboxylic acid group, such as chlorambucil and melphalan. The therapeutic compound is conjugated to the fatty acid(s) by a link which includes a tromethamine or ethanolamine derivative. In particular the present invention relates to altering the pharmacokinetic profile and mode of delivery of these therapeutic compounds by conjugating them to one, two or three acyl derivatives of fatty acids.
摘要:
This invention provides a simplified method for converting pregnan-3,20-dione compounds to 3α-hydroxy,3β-substituted-pregnanes. By selective use of reagents the unprotected dione is converted chemoselectively and diastereoselectively into a 3(R)-pregnan-3-spiro-2'oxirane-20-one intermediate. This intermediate can then be converted regioselectively by a second set of reactions to the 3α-hydroxy,3β-substituted-20-one form, which can be further modified at the 20-keto position. Through this method, each ketone group is independently treated. By modifying the ketones one at a time, one can obtain the desired stereo-specificity at each site.
