Some derivatives of pregna-D6?-pentaranes as possible antagonists of progesterone
摘要:
Some derivatives of progestins of the pregna-D-6'-pentarane series have been obtained and examined for their possible hormonal and antihormonal activity in the Clauberg-McPhail assay as well as in the pregnancy maintenance test in ovariectomized rabbits. 16 alpha, 17 alpha-Cyclohexanoprogesterones of the 19-methyl and 19-nor series (1-4) saturated in ring A, which are inactive as progestins, exhibited a remarkable antiprogesterone effect. They decreased the McPhail index under combined administration with progesterone in a dose-dependable manner and completely inhibited the action of the latter in the pregnancy maintenance test.

The joint action of Lewis acids and high pressure permits the Diels-Alder reaction to be conducted with high yields with greatly sterically hindered steroid dienophiles, which are virtually unreactive under normal conditions. The [2 + 4]-cycloadditions of dienes to DELTA16-20-, DELTA1-3-, DELTA1,4-3-, and DELTA4,6-3-ketones proceed stereospecifically with the formation of one stereoisomer for each cycloadduct. The reactions of the steroid dienes studied give mixtures of two monocycloadducts at both double bonds of the steroid, with predominance of the adduct at the sterically less-hindered double bond (DELTA1- and DELTA6-). The method developed is a new method of producing various modified steroids with possible hormonal or antihormonal activity.
