3,15-substituted estrone compounds which act as inhibitors of 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type I (17β-HSD1), salts thereof, pharmaceutical preparations containing such compounds, processes for preparing such compounds, and therapeutic uses of such compounds, particularly in the treatment or inhibition of steroid hormone dependent diseases or disorders, such as steroid hormone dependent diseases or disorders requiring the inhibition of 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type I enzymes and/or requiring the lowering of the endogenous 17β-estradiol concentration, as well as the general use of selective 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 inhibitors which possess in addition no or only pure antagonistic binding affinities to the estrogen receptor for the treatment or inhibition of benign gynecological disorders, particularly endometriosis.
Substituted steroid compounds which represent selective inhibitors of 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type I (17β-HSD1) and, in addition, which may represent inhibitors of the steroid sulfatase, salts thereof, pharmaceutical preparations containing these compounds, and a process for the preparation of these compounds. Also disclosed is a therapeutic method of using such substituted steroid compounds, particularly in the treatment, inhibition, prophylaxis or prevention of steroid hormone dependent diseases or disorders, such as steroid hormone dependent diseases or disorders requiring the inhibition of 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type I and/or steroid sulfatase enzymes and/or requiring lowering of the endogenous 17β-estradiol concentration.
