STEROID SULFAMATES, METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION AND USE THEREOF

摘要

The invention relates to novel estratrienes of general formula (I) containing several sulfamoyoxy groups per molecule (m = 1-5). They are produced by reacting the appropriate steroid alcohols with sulfamoy or n-alkyl or alkanoylsulfamoyl chloride in the presence of a buffer or a base. The compounds of formula (I) are characterized by a high sulfatase activity and are therefore suitable for the treatment of diseases responding to sulfatase inhibition. The high target specificity of the inventive compounds in relation to sulfatase and estrogen transcription assays enable said compounds, which are provided with a radiolabel e.g. [<18>F] fluorine instead of F, to be used as potential markers in tumor diagnosis.
