Regioselective O-alkylation of cortienic acid and synthesis of a new class of glucocorticoids containing a 17α-alkoxy, a 17α-(1′-alkoxyethyloxy), a 17α-alkoxymethyloxy, or a 17α-methylthiomethyloxy function
摘要:
The synthesis of a new class of glucocorticoids, to be evaluated as anti-inflammatory agents with expected low systemic toxicity, is described. The new steroids possess a 17-beta-chloromethyl carboxylate function and a 17-alpha-alkoxy, a 17-alpha-(1'-alkoxyethyloxy), a 17-alpha-alkoxymethyloxy, or a 17-alpha-methylthiomethyloxy function. A 17-alpha-alkoxy function is a new feature in cortisol analogs.
