WHEREIN R1 taken alone is -CH, -CO2R5, -CON(R6)2, -CH(OR6)2, C6H5, -CH CH2, or -SCH3, or, taken together with an -OH group in the R3-position, forms a lactone ring; R2 is -H, -CH3, -F, -Cl, Br, or -I; R3 is 5 Alpha -H, 5 Beta -H, or 5 Beta -OH; R4 is -OH, substituted or unsubstituted 3-pyranyl ether, or a 5-or 6membered substituted or unsubstituted cyclic glycoside; R5 is -H, -CH3, -C2H5, -C3H7, -C4H9, -C5H11, or -CH2-C6H5; and R6 is -CH3 or -C2H5, or, when -CH(OR6)2 is a cyclic acetal, the R6''s together are -CH2CH2- or -CH2C(CH3)2CH2-. A process for preparing these compounds from the corresponding 19-oxo-14 Beta hydroxy cardenolides.
Abstract:
A 14B-HYDROXY-3-OXO-5A-CARD-20(22)-ENOLIDE IS PREPARED BY KETALIZING A 3-OXO-5A-CARDA-14,20(22)-DIENOLIDE, COVERING THE 3-KETAL SO OBTAINED WITH AN N-HALOGENOAMIDE UNDER WHEAKLY ACID CONDITIONS INTO A 3-KETAL OF A 3-OXO-14B-HYDROXY-15A-BROMO-5A-CARD-20(22)ENOLIDE, CATALYTICALLY HYDROGENATING THIS KETAL TO FORM THE CORRESPONDING 3-OXO-14B-HYDROXY-5A-CARD-20 (22)-ENOLIDE, THE PH VALUE BEING BETWEEN 4.5 AND 7, AND SPLITING OFF THE 3-KETAL GROUP UNDER WEAKLY ACID CONDI TIONS. THE PRODUCTS OF INVENTION HAVE VALUABLE PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES.
Abstract:
(ANDROST-17-B-YL)-A-PYRONES, CARDIOACTIVE PER SE AND USEFUL AS INTERMEDIATES IN THE MANUFACTURE OF SCILLARENONE AND SCILLARENIN, AND METHODS FOR MAKING THE SAME BY RING CLOSURE OF 20-ALKOXYMETHYLENE-21-CARBALKOXYMETHYLENE OR 20-FORMYL-21-CARBALKOXYMETHYLENE STEROIDS DERIVED FROM 21-DIALKOXY-20-KETO STEROID STARTING COMPOUNDS.
Abstract:
The invention relates to 3'', 4''-anhydro- Beta , Ltalomethylosides of the general formula I
wherein R1 is methyl or formyl and R2 stands for Beta -H or Beta -OH, if there is no double bond in 4,5-position, and R3 is a butenolide or cumalin ring, a process for preparing them and their use in the treatment of cardiac and circulatory disturbances.
