摘要:
The 17.alpha.-cyanomethylestra-4,9-diene derivative compounds are of formula I: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is an alkyl group having from 1 to 2 carbon atoms; R.sub.2 is an alkyl group with 1 to 10 carbon atoms, an acyl group with 1 to 10 carbon atoms or a trialkylsilyl group; and R.sub.3 is an oxygen atom or a R--O--N group, wherein R is a hydrogen atom, an acyl group with 1 to 10 carbon atoms, an alkyl group with 1 to 10 carbon atoms, a sulfamoyl group, an alkylsilyl group or a trialkylsilyl group. These compounds, particularly in combination with at least one suitable estrogen, are suitable for treatment of endometrioses or gestagen-dependent tumors and for hormonal contraception and climacteric hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Processes for making the new steroids are described as well as methods of making the pharmaceutical compositions containing them.
摘要:
Novel substituted steroid compounds are disclosed which are more effective than known radical-trapping agents in methods of prophylaxis and therapy of radical-mediated cell damage and of treatment of diseases due to radical-mediated cell damage. The novel substituted steroid compounds can be made from steroids having an estrane, androstane, pregnane or cholestane basic skeleton and have a radical-attracting aromatic substituent of the general formula --(CH.sub.2).sub.n X, or .dbd.CH--(CH.sub.2).sub.m X at the 17 or 6 position of the steroid nucleus, wherein X=Y, OY, SY, SeY or NHY; n=0 to 5; m=n-1 and Y is a phenyl group having five substituents A, B, C, D and E, wherein A to E is independently H, alkyl, Oalkyl, Oacyl, OH, or one of the substituents B, C or D is NR.sub.2 wherein R=alkyl and each of the other substituents is hydrogen. Pharmaceutical compositions containing the novel substituted steroid compounds and methods of making them are also part of the invention.
摘要:
Disclosed are estrane derivatives having a radical-attracting aromatic substituent of the general formula --(CH.sub.2).sub.n X attached to the 17-position of the steroid nucleus, wherein X and n are as defined by the specification. The compounds are useful as antitumor agents and in the treatment of cardiac and circulatory disorders.
摘要:
The invention is directed to novel steroid intermediate products of general formula I ##STR1## The steroid intermediate products which can be isolated according to the invention are suitable for the synthesis of 13-ethyl-11-methylene-18,19-bisnor-17.alpha.-pregn-4-en-20-in-17-ol (desogestrel). Further, processes for producing the steroid intermediate products of general formula I are described. The olefination of the 11-oxo steroids is carried out under the influence of ultrasound.
摘要:
Described are novel equilenin derivatives of general formula I methods for producing the same and medicaments containing these compounds. The new compounds have antioxidative activity and are usable for geroprophylaxis in women and men.
摘要:
The method of prophylaxis and therapy of radical-mediated cell damage includes administering an effective amount of at least one steroid and at least one pharmaceutical adjuvant to a human being. The at least one steroid is selected from the group consisting of ent-estradiol, 17&agr;-estradiol, 8-dehydro-estradiol, 8-dehydro-17&agr;-estradiol, 8(14)-dehydroestradiol, 6,8-didehydro-17&agr;-estradiol, 6-dehydroestriol, 9(11)-dehydroestriol, 20-hydroxymethyl-3-hydroxy-19-norpregna-1,3,5(10)-triene, 14&agr;, 15&agr;-methylene-8-dehydroestradiol, 14&agr;, 15&agr;-methylene-estradiol, 2-hydroxy-estradiol-3-methyl ether, 3-hydroxy-1,3,5(10)-estratriene-17S-spirooxirane, 3-hydroxy-1,3,5(10),9(11)-estratetraene-17S-spirooxirane, and 14&bgr;,15&bgr;-methylene-8-dehydroestradiol. This method strongly inhibits changes in cells and tissues, such as lipid peroxidation and oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, triggered by reaction oxygen species, free oxygen radicals and other forms of radicals and thus reduces attendant irreversible membrane and endothelial damage.
