Abstract:
There is described a process for the industrial synthesis of 11-methylene-18- methyl-estr-4-en-3, 17-dione, a compound having the structure formula (I) depicted below: (Formula I) (I) useful as intermediate compound in the synthesis of the progestin compounds Desogestrel and Etonogestrel.
Abstract:
The present invention refers to a process for the industrial-scale preparation of 17β-hydroxy- 6β,7β;15β,16β-dimethylene-3-oxo-17α-pregn-4-ene-21-carboxylic acid y-lactone, known by the common name of Drospirenone, in the form of a fine powder without the use of mechanical grinding or micronization techniques, but rather exploiting a double change of crystalline form, from Crystalline Form I to Crystalline Form II and from Crystalline Form II to Crystalline Form I. The invention also refers to the new Crystalline Form II of Drospirenone obtained in the process.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of 21-(acetyloxy)-17-(1-oxopropoxy)-pregn-4-ene-3,20-dione (VI) having the formula below: Compound (VI) can be used as a precursor for the synthesis of Clascoterone, a steroid used for the treatment of acne.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a novel process for the synthesis of abiraterone and in particular abiraterone acetate, a compound of formula (I) reported below: having pharmacological activity suitable for slowing down the progression of advanced stage prostate cancer. The process is characaterised by the fact that the intermediate triflation step is carried out on prasterone (DHEA) or its 3-acetate using Ar-N(OTf) 2 as the triflation reagent, but where Ar is not phenyl, and by the fact that the base used in this step is an alkali metal alcoholate.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a new process for the synthesis of 17β-hydroxy- des-A-androst-9,10-en-5-one, the compound of the following formula (1), which can be used as an intermediate in the synthesis of retroprogesterones.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a novel process for the synthesis of abiraterone, and in particular of abiraterone acetate, compound of formula (I) reported below: N O (I) which has pharmacological activity useful tor slowing down the progression of prostate cancer at an advanced stage. The process is characterised by an intermediate step wherein DHEA-acetate is triflated using Ar-N(OTf) 2 as the triflation reagent.
Abstract:
A process is described for the preparation of drospirenone, a synthetic steroid with progestogenic, antimineralocorticoid and antiandrogenic activity, useful for preparing pharmaceutical compositions with contraceptive action; comprising the oxidation of 17α-(3-hydroxypropyl)-6β, 7β, 15β, 16β-dimethylene-5β-androstane- 3β , 5, 17β -triol.
Abstract:
