Abstract:
The present invention provides compounds of Formula I,
pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds and methods of using these compounds to prevent or treat FXR-mediated or TGR5-mediated diseases or conditions.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to a method to reduce a C—C double bond of an enone of a steroidal compound to produce a mixture of β ketone product and α ketone product, comprising treating a solution or suspension of the steroidal compound in a solvent with hydrogen gas in the presence of a catalyst and a substituted pyridine.
Abstract:
Sex steroid precursors such as dehydroepiandrosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate, and compounds converted in vivo to either of the foregoing, are utilized for the treatment and/or prevention of vaginal atrophy, hypogonadism, diminished libido, osteoporosis, urinary incontinence, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, skin atrophy, for contraception, and, in combination with an estrogen and/or progestin, for the treatment of menopause. The precursors may be formulated for percutaneous or transmucosal administration. Gels, solutions, lotions, creams, ointments and transdermal patches for the administration of these precursors are provided, as are certain pharmaceutical compositions and kits which can be used for the prevention and treatment of a wide variety of conditions related to decreased secretion of sex steroid precursors by the adrenals.

Abstract:
The present invention is concerned with the preparation of lysosomotropic detergent agents and pharmaceutical composition useful in the treatment of cancer. These compounds are amine derivatives having a pK of 3.5 of the general structure ##STR1## in which R.sub.1 is C.sub.8-30 alkyl, C.sub.8-30 -alkenyl, substituted C.sub.4-30 alkyl or substituted C.sub.4-30 -alkenyl; R.sub.2 is hydrogen or C.sub.1-4 alkyl and Y is an electron withdrawing group, to control the pK, selected from trifluoroethyl, and difluoroethyl.
