摘要:
A method for the preparation of medrogestone by heterogeneously palladium- catalysed isomerisation from 17-methyl-6-methylenepregn-4-ene-3,20-dione is described.
摘要:
Disclosed is a method for the production of an adrenocorticoid steroid represented by general formula (I), wherein R1 and R3 may be H, alkyl, substituted alkyl, silyl, acyl, acyloxy or carbamoyl (and wherein R1 need not be the same as R3), and wherein R2 may be methyl, mono- or disubstituted methyl, substituted alkyl, methyl or substituted alkylhydroxy, silyloxy, alkyloxy, acyl, acyloxy or carbamoyl; the method comprising treatment of a precursor thereof so as to effect the following steps: hydroxylation at the 11β position; formation of a double bond between positions 1 and 2; and hydroxylation at position 21.
摘要:
The invention relates to compounds of formula (I), in which R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, n and X are as defined in the specification, and to pharmaceutical compositions containing them. These compounds are excellent progestogens which are devoid of residual androgenic activity.
摘要:
A progesterone compound represented by general formula (1) and a neovascularization inhibitor containing the same as the active ingredient (wherein R represents a C1-C23 hydrocarbon group). It has a potent neovascularization inhibitory effect and is hence useful as a remedy for malignant tumor, diabetic retinitis and rheumatism.
摘要:
The invention relates to compounds of the formula : wherein :
each of R 1 and R 2 is hydrogen or a (C 1 -C 6 )alkyl, R 1 and R 2 being not simultaneously hydrogen ; R 3 is hydrogen, a (C 1 -C 6 )alkyl or a (C 1 -C 6 )alkoxy ; R 4 is hydrogen, a (C 1 -C 6 )alkyl or a group -COR 6 where R 6 is a (C 1 -C 6 )alkyl ; R 5 is hydrogen or a (C 1 -C 6 )alkyl ; n is zero or one ; X is oxygen or an hydroxyimino group ; and the dotted line may represent a double bond ; provided that when n = 0, R 3 is hydrogen only if both R 1 and R 2 are a (C 1 -C 6 )alkyl, and to pharmaceutical compositions containing them. These compounds are potent progestogens which are devoid of residual androgenic activity.
摘要:
A process for the production of medrogestone, in which, in an intermediate step, the solvate 3β,5α,6β-trihydroxy-6α,17α-dimethylpregnan-20-one monomethanolate is obtained as a solid, stable compound by displacing the organic solvent from a solution of of 3β,5α,6β-trihydroxy-6α,17α-dimethylpregnan-20-one with a lower alkanol, and a Diels-Alder adduct of 6-methylene-17α-methylpregn-4-ene-3,20-dione with maleic anhydride is used as an intermediate for production of the corresponding dicarboxylic acid salt for removal of 6-methylene-17α-methylpregn-4-ene-3,20-dione contamination of the desired product. Another intermediate, 6β-hydroxy-6α,17α-dimethylpregn-4-ene-3,20-dione, has been found to prevent smooth muscle proliferation and is useful in the treatment of atherosclerosis and restinosis.

摘要:
A novel method is provided for crystallizing organic and particularly steroidal substances. In particular, a crystallization method is provided whereby a predeterminable and homogenous particle size class can be obtained non-mechanically, and wherein a substance is dissolved in a ternary mixture consisting of a lipophilic solvent, a hydrophilic solvent and a surface-active agent at a temperature close to boiling, whereafter the mixture is allowed to cool to a temperature at which crystallization is initiated and the crystals thereby formed are separated. The method can be used for producing pharmaceutical active principles.
