Abstract: This invention describes 11&bgr;-aryl-substituted 14,17-ethanoestratrienes of general formula (I). The new compounds are selective estrogens whose action occurs in a tissue-selective manner. The estrogenic action occurs in particular on bone, in the cardiovascular system and in the CNS (central nervous system). Only a slight estrogenic action or no estrogenic action occurs in the uterus and in the liver, however. The compounds are suitable for the production of pharmaceutical agents for use in numerous indications (for example for hormone replacement therapy, prevention and treatment of osteoporosis).

Abstract: This invention describes new, substituted 7.alpha.-(.xi.-aminoalkyl)-estratrienes of general formula I ##STR1## in which side chain SK is a radical of partial formula ##STR2## as well as their physiologically compatible addition salts with organic and inorganic acids.The new compounds represent compounds with very strong antiestrogenic action.The compounds according to the invention are, on the one hand, pure antiestrogens, or, on the other hand, antiestrogens with estrogenic partial action. Based on this spectrum of action, the new compounds are highly suitable for the production of pharmaceutical agents for tumor therapy and hormone replacement treatment.

Abstract: New 15,15-dialkyl-substituted derivatives of the estradiol of general formula I ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 and R.sup.2, independently of one another, are each a hydrogen atom or a straight-chain alkanoyl group with 1 to 10 carbon atoms, a branched-chain alkanoyl group with 3-10 carbon atoms, an alkanoyl group of 3-10 carbon atoms containing a cycloaliphatic structure of 3-6 carbon ring atoms or a benzoyl group, andR.sup.3 and R.sup.4, independently of one another, are each a straight-chain alkyl group with 1 to 10 carbon atoms or a branched-chain alkyl group with 3 to 10 carbon atoms,are described, a process for their production and initial products for this process. The new compounds have--also after oral administration--high estrogenic effectiveness and are suitable for the production of pharmaceutical agents.
