wherein a wavy segments indicate either the alpha (&agr;) or beta (&bgr;) configuration; the dashed bond represents a double bond or a single bond; Ar is selected from the group consisting of aryl or heteroaryl radicals having from 4 to 10 carbon atoms and substituted derivatives of said aryl and heteroaryl radicals; n is 0 or an integer of from 1 to 4; x and y are 1 or 0, provided that when x is 1, y is 0 and when x is 0, y is 1; R
1
is hydrogen or a lower alkyl radical or a substituted lower alkyl radical having up to six carbon atoms; X is selected from the group consisting of —OR
1
and —N(R
1
)2; Y is ═O or represents 2 hydrogen radicals, and the 9 and/or 11 esters thereof and/or the pharmaceutically acceptable salts of said compounds and/or esters.
