Abstract: The invention refers to compounds having activity against inflammatory, allergic, and dermatological conditions. The compounds are characterized by the formula ##STR1## or a stereoisomeric component thereof, in which formula R.sub.1 is selected from a straight or branched hydrocarbon chain having 1-4 carbon atoms.The invention also refers to processes for the preparation of these compounds, pharmaceutical preparations containing one of the compounds and a method for the treatment of inflammatory, allergic, muscoskeletal and dermatological conditions.

Abstract: The invention refers to compounds having anti-inflammatory activity, characterized by the formula ##STR1## in the form of a stereoisomeric mixture or an epimer of the R or S type regarding the orientation of the substituents in the carbon atom at position 20, in which formula the 1,2 position is saturated or is a double bond,X.sub.1 is hydrogen, fluorine, chlorine or bromine,X.sub.2 is hydrogen, fluorine, chlorine or bromine,R.sub.1 is hydrogen or methyl,R.sub.2 is a straight or branched hydrocarbon chain having 1-10 carbon atoms andR.sub.3 is hydrogen or a straight or branched chain alkyl group having 1-12 carbon atoms, a lower alkyl group substituted by 1-5 halogen atoms or an unsubstituted or substituted phenyl or benzyl group,provided that when R.sub.1 is methyl R.sub.2 is a hydrocarbon chain having 2-10 carbon atoms.

Abstract: Pharmaceutical composition for administration primarily to the respiratory tract when treating and controlling anti-inflammatory conditions comprising liposomes in combination with a compound of the formula ##STR1## and R.sup.1 is a saturated or unsaturated, straight or branched alkyl group with 11-19 carbon atoms and R is H, --COCH.sub.3, --COC.sub.2 H.sub.5, --CO(CH.sub.2).sub.2 CH.sub.3 or --CO(CH.sub.2).sub.3 CH.sub.3.The invention also refers to the compounds of the formula I per se processes for preparation of these compounds and to a method for the treatment of inflammatory conditions.

Abstract: The invention refers to compounds having anti-inflammatory activity, characterized by the formula ##STR1## in the form of a stereoisomeric mixture or an epimer of the R or S type regarding the orientation of the substituents at the carbon atom in position 22, in which formula A is n-propyl or n-butyl and Z is hydroxyl or hydroxyl esterified with a fatty acid with a straight or branched hydrocarbon chain having 1-5 carbon atoms.The invention also refers to a process for the preparation of these compounds, a pharmaceutical preparation containing one of the compounds and a method for the treatment and control of inflammatory conditions.
