The present invention relates to analogs of estradiol, which, in their most preferred embodiment, act as locally active estrogens without significant systemic action. A series of 16&agr;-carboxylic acid substituted steroids and their esters is presented which exhibit excellent biological activity for use in pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of symptomology associated with menopause. The present invention is therefore directed to compounds according to the structure:
Where R is H, a C1 to C5 alkyl, vinyl, CF3, CH2CH2F, CH2CHF2 or CH2CF3; and
m is from 0-2, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Preferably, R is methyl, ethyl, propyl, iso-propyl, butyl, iso-butyl, pentyl, neo-pentyl, vinyl, CF3, CH2CH2F, CH2CHF2 or CH2CF3 and m is 0. More preferably, R is methyl, ethyl, CH2CH2F, CH2CHF2 or CH2CF3 and m is 0.
本发明涉及
雌二醇的类似物,其在最优选的实施方式中作为局部活性
雌激素而不具有显著的全身作用。提供了一系列16α-
羧酸取代类
固醇及其酯,其表现出优异的
生物活性,可用于制备用于治疗与更年期症状相关的药物组合物。因此,本发明涉及符合以下结构的化合物:其中R为H、C1至C5烷基、
乙烯基、
CF3、CH2CH2F、CH2CHF2或CH2 ;m为0-2,或其药学上可接受的盐。优选地,R为甲基、乙基、丙基、异丙基、丁基、异丁基、戊基、新戊基、
乙烯基、 、CH2CH2F、CH2CHF2或CH2 ,m为0。更优选地,R为甲基、乙基、CH2CH2F、CH2CHF2或CH2 ,m为0。
