Long-acting contraceptive agents: Carbonates and carbamates of norethisterone
摘要:
The preparation of three carbonates and two carbamates of norethisterone (17 alpha-ethynyl-17 beta-hydroxyestr-4-en-3-one) are described. Due to instability of the carbonates and the very low solubility of the carbamates these compounds could not be submitted to biological testing.
Described are new agents for treating bone disorders associated with a reduction in bone mass and abnormalities in bone resorption or bone formation including osteoporosis, Paget's disease, bone metastases and malignant hypercalcemia. The agents are hydroxyl containing steroidal hormones, having bone resorption antagonist or bone formation stimulatory activity, covalently linked through the hydroxyl group via a bond hydrolyzable in the human body, e.g. carbamate or carbonate, which is further covalently linked to an amino, or hydroxy substituted alkylidene-1,1-bisphosphonate, through the respective amino or hydroxy group. The alkyl bisphosphonate moiety confers bone affinity. The agent acts by delivering the steroidal hormone directly to the bone target site where it is released for bone resorption antagonist or bone formation stimulatory action by hydrolysis of the hydrolyzable covalent bond.

A time-release chemical delivery system in which a bioactive compound is attached to a polymeric biodegradable carrier by a hydrolyzable bond is disclosed. The bioactive compound can either be bound directly to the polymer or be attached to the polymer via a spacer group. The composition of the system is particularly effective for delivering medication systemically to a host animal over a prolonged period of time after being surgically implanted or injected subcutaneously. Biodegradable condensation polymers having reactive pendant groups, for example, poly-L-(glutamic acid), or derivatized poly-L-(glutamic acid) are effective as polymeric carriers.
