Abstract:
This invention relates to 2-substituted D-homo-estra-1,3,5(10)-trien-3-yl sulfamates of general formula I (I), in which R3 means a C1-C5-alkyl or C1-C5-alkyloxy group as well as their use for the production of a pharmaceutical agent for treating tumor diseases, which can be influenced positively by the inhibition of tubulin polymerization. The compounds according to the invention are distinguished by a D-homo-substitution. They have a special action with respect to tubulin polymerization inhibition and can be used, for example, for treating prostate cancer
Abstract:
The invention relates to 17-methylene steroids, process for their production and pharmaceutical compositions that contain these compounds.The compounds according to the invention have a hybrid-type profile of action in the sense that they act as inhibitors of 5α-reductase and simultaneously as gestagens. They are therefore suitable for treating diseases that are the result of elevated androgen levels in certain organs and tissues in men and women. Together with other hormonal substances, such as an estrogen, testosterone or a strong androgen, the compounds according to the invention are suitable as contraceptive agents for women and for men.
Abstract:
This invention relates to 11.beta.-aryl-gona-4,9-dienes of the general formula I ##STR1## wherein the variables are defined in the specification. The compounds are progesterone antagonists and are suitable for inducing labor or an abortion.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to sulfonyltryptophanols of the general formula I, in which Q, X, W, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7 and R8 have the meaning as defined in the description.The compounds according to the invention are effective FSH receptor antagonists and can be used for example for fertility control in men or in women, or for the prevention and/or treatment of osteoporosis.
Abstract:
New 17α-fluorosteroid compounds of formula (I) are disclosed: wherein R1 denotes H or methyl; R2 and R3 each denote H, Cl or methyl; and either a double bond or a single bond is present between C-6 and C-7 and also C-9 and C-10 of the steroid ring system respectively. These compounds have an activity profile with hybrid character so that they act as inhibitors for 5α-reductase and as high potency gestagens. Pharmaceutical compositions containing them are disclosed. They are suitable for treatment of conditions, which are caused by high levels of androgen in organs and tissues. These new compounds can be used in combination with other hormonal substances, such as estrogens, testosterone and other androgens, as contraceptives and for other applications.

Abstract:
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.
