Abstract: Use of 9?-estra-1,3,5(10)-triene derivatives of formula (I) for the prevention and treatment of intestinal cancer, in particular adenoma and adenocarcinoma of the duodenum, ileum, colon, and rectum.
Abstract: This invention relates to new 19-nor-17&agr;-pregna-1,3,5(10)-trien-17&bgr;-ols with a 21,16&agr;-lactone ring of formula II,
process for their production and pharmaceutical preparations that contain these compounds as well as 17&agr;-cyanomethylated estra-1,3,5(10)-trienes, which produce intermediate products on the way to the 19-nor-17&agr;-pregna-1,3,5(10)-trien-17&bgr;-ols.
The 19-nor-17&agr;-pregna-1,3,5(10)-trien-17&bgr;-ols produce novel selective estrogens, which contrast to standard estrogens, such as estradiol, show a preference for one of the two known estrogen receptors, estrogen receptor alpha.
Abstract: A human cataractous lens nuclei methanolic extract characterized in that it comprises substances having a molecular weight lower than 3000 daltons, inhibiting ATP hydrolysis by Na.sup.+,K.sup.+ -ATPase having affinity to the ouabain binding site on the enzyme and cross-reacting with an antibody directed against digoxin. Compounds of the general formula are disclosed: ##STR1## or of the general formula: ##STR2## in which R is hydrogen, an amino acid, a di- or tripeptide or a mono-, di- or trisaccharide. Pharmaceutical preparations and methods of using the compounds are also disclosed.
