摘要:
The present invention relates to novel retinoid antagonists of the formula I wherein the dotted bond can be either hydrogenated or form a double bond; and, when the dotted bond forms a double bond, R1 is lower alkyl and R2 is hydrogen; and, when the dotted bond is hydrogenated, R1 and R2 taken together are methylene to form a cis-substituted cyclopropyl ring; R3 is hydroxy or lower alkoxy; R4 is alkyl or alkoxy; and R5 and R6 are, independently, a C4-12 alkyl or a 5-12 cycloalkyl substituent containing from 1-3 rings which are either unsubstituted or substituted with from 1-3 lower alkyl groups, with the carbon atom of R5 and R6 being linked to the remainder of the molecule to form a quaternary carbon atom pharmaceutically acceptable salts of carbocylic acids of the formula I; as well as method for the treatment of osteoporosis and preneoplastic and neoplastic diseases, and a method for reducing or abolishing adverse events in subjects receiving retinoid agonist treatment by administering a retinoid antagonist.
摘要:
Novel nonatetraenoic acid derivatives which selectively bind to retinoic acid X-receptors (RXR) and which have anti-acne acitvity and which potentiate the activity of retinoids having RAR.alpha. activity are disclosed.
摘要:
Compounds of formula (I) wherein R.sup.1 -R.sup.7, R.sup.10, X and the dotted bond have the meaning given in the specification, bind selectively to retinoid RXR receptors and are useful as antiproliferative agents for dermatological and oncological indications.
摘要:
A multi-step, stereospecific total synthesis of steroids utilizing intermediates having a cyanoalkyl A-ring precursor is disclosed. The initial starting materials for this process are the relatively inexpensive and commercially available reagents .gamma.-butyrolactone and sodium cyanide. The process is suitable for the preparation of racemic or optically active, medicinally valuable steroids, particularly 19-norsteroids. It is a feature of this process that conditions employed during the multiple step synthesis are selected so as to retain the normally labile nitrile group even during hydrogenation and hydrolysis steps. In this manner, it is possible to employ the nitrile group as an A-ring precursor without resorting to protective groups as was heretofore found necessary in previous steroid total synthesis processes.
