Abstract: Compounds represented by the following formula (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are disclosed. The compounds have progesterone receptor binding inhibitory activity and, hence, can be used as therapeutic and prophylactic agents for progesterone-related diseases. Specifically, they are useful as abortifacients, oral contraceptive pills, carcinostatic agents for breast cancer and ovarian cancer, therapeutic agents for endometriosis, meningioma, and myeloma, and therapeutic and prophylactic agents for osteoporosis and climacteric disturbance.

Abstract: Compounds represented by the following formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof and a process for producing the same are disclosed. The compounds have progesterone receptor binding inhibitory activity and, hence, can be used as therapeutic and prophylactic agents for progesterone-related diseases. Specifically, they are useful as carcinostatic agents for breast cancer and ovarian cancer, therapeutic agents for hysteromyoma, endometriosis, meningioma, and myeloma, abortifacients, oral contraceptive pills, and therapeutic and prophylactic agents for osteoporosis and climacteric disturbance. ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 represents alkyl or aralkyl; R.sup.

Abstract: Now are provided (R)-3,6-diamino-N-(.omega.-aminoalkyl)-hexanamides which are novel compounds having the general formula (I): ##STR1## wherein n stands for 2-5, and which may be for example, (R)-3,6-diamino-N-(2-aminoethyl)hexanamide (n=2) and (R)-3,6-diamino-N-(3-aminopropyl)hexanamide (n=3). Their preparation process is also provided. These novel compounds and acid addition salts thereof have activities inhibitory against Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria and AIDS virus, as well as tumor cells and are chemically stable.These novel compounds and their salts are useful as chemotherapeutic agents for diseases caused by these bacteria or virus and also as antitumor agent.
