Cyclopentanohydrophenanthrene Ring System Containing Patents (Class 552/502)
  • Patent number: 5030626
    Abstract: There are disclosed herein novel derivatives of 26,26,26,27,27,27-hexafluorovitamin D.sub.3 providing excellent pharmacological effects, and a process for the preparation thereof. These novel compounds are represented by the general formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 each denotes a hydrogen atom or a protecting group for the hydroxyl group; R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 each denotes a hydrogen atom, a hydroxyl group or a protected hydroxyl group and R.sub.4 ' and R.sub.5 ' each denotes a hydrogen atom, or alternatively R.sub.3 and R.sub.3 ' together or R.sub.4 and R.sub.4 ' together denote an oxo group; provided that R.sub.3, R.sub.3 ', R.sub.4 and R.sub.4 ' cannot denote hydrogen atoms simultaneously. The process for the preparation comprises subjecting a previtamin D.sub.3 derivative represented by the formula ##STR2## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.3 ', R.sub.4 and R.sub.4 ' are as defined above, to thermal isomerization to give a vitamin D.sub.

  • Patent number: 4943566
    Abstract: A compound selected from the group consisting of compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is an organo of 1 to 18 carbon atoms optionally containing at least one heteroatom connected to the C ring by a carbon atom, R.sub.2 is methyl or ethyl, the A and B rings being selected from the group consisting of ##STR2## Re is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, optionally substituted alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms and acyl and the D ring is selected from the group consisting of ##STR3## one of R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 is selected from the group consisting of hydroxy, protected hydroxy, acyl and alkoxy and the other is an optionally substituted aryl, R.sub.5 is an optionally substituted aryl and their non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable salts with acids and bases with the proviso that when the A and B rings are ##STR4## R.sub.1 is ##STR5## R.sub.2 is methyl, R.sub.3 is --OH, R.sub.4 is phenyl having anti proliferative properties.
