<p>New 14alpha, 17alpha-bridged oestratrienes of formula (I) are claimed. When OR3 is in the alpha-configuration: R1, R2, R3 = H, -CO-R4 or -(CH2)n-CO2H, where n = 1-4. R1 may also be benzyl, 1-8C alkyl or 3-5C cycloalkyl; R4 = an organic gp. with up to 11C atoms. When OR3 is in the beta-configuration: R1, R2, R3 = H or 1-12C acyl; R1 may also be 1-8C alkyl. In both cases, A-B is an etheno or etheno bridging bond. 18 cpds. are specifically claimed, including 3-benzyloxy-14alpha, 17alpha-ethano- 1, 3, 5(10)oestratriene-16alpha, 17beta-diol and 14alpha, 17alpha-ethano -1, 3, 5(10) oestratriene-3, 16alpha, 17beta-triol. Also claimed is a method of preparing (I), e.g. from 3, 16beta, 17beta-triacetoxy-14alpha, 17alpha-ethano-1, 3, 5 (10)-oestratriene-16alpha-carbonitrile. For treating disorders involving oestrogen deficiency, unit oral dose is 0.001-0.05 mg. Solns. for intramuscular injection contain 0.01-1 mg (I) per ml, and vaginal salves contain 0.1-10 mg (I) per 100 ml. For contraception, tablets contain 0.003-0.05 mg (I) and 0.05-0.5 mg of a gestagen.</p> |
