Synthesis of novel 6-aza-B- and 11-aza-C-homoestranes as antifertility agents
摘要:
Reaction of 3,9alpha,17beta-trihydroxyestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-11-one 17-acetate 3-methyl ether (3) with N3H-BF3 etherate leads mainly to lactam (4) along with the N-azido compound (5) as a minor product. Under similar conditions, 3,17beta-dihydroxyestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-6-one 17-acetate 3-methyl ether gives lactam (12) and the tetrazolo derivative (9). Similar reaction of the diacetate (8) gives only the tetrazole derivative (11). Compounds 4, 6, and 10 prevent implantation in rats at 5-, 10-, and 5-mg/kg doses, respectively. Compounds 4, 6, 9, and 10 show significant estrogenic activity at the respective contraceptive doses.
Synthesis and in vivo evaluation of 11-substituted estradiol derivatives as anti-implantation agents
摘要:
Synthesis of 11-substituted estradiol derivatives (12-17) has been carried out by the Grignard reaction with alkyl, allyl, and benzyl halides on 17 beta-hydroxy-3-methoxy-11-oxo-estra-1,3,5(10), 8(9)-tetraene (10). The novel compounds (10 and 12-17) were evaluated for their preliminary post-coital contraceptive (anti-implantation) activity in Sprague-Dawley rats. The tested compounds were administered orally and showed significant anti-implantation activity. Compound 13 is the most potent compound in the series which showed 100% contraceptive efficacy at 1.25 mg kg (1). (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
