Definitions
- the present invention relates to pharmaceutically active unsaturated cholestane derivatives, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising them as active substances and to the use of these novel compounds for the preparation of medicaments. More particularly it has been found that the unsaturated cholestane derivatives of the invention can be used for regulating meiosis.
- Meiosis is the unique and ultimate event of germ cells on which sexual reproduction is based. Meiosis comprises two meiotic divisions. During the first division, exchange between maternal and paternal genes take place before the pairs of chromosomes are separated into the two daughter cells. These contain only half the number (1 n) of chromosomes and 2c DNA. The second meiotic division proceeds without a DNA synthesis. This division therefore results in the formation of the haploid germ cells with only 1 c DNA.
- the meiotic events are similar in the male and female germ cells, but the time schedule and the differentiation processes which lead to ova and to spermatozoa differ profoundly.
- All female germ cells enter the prophase of the first meiotic division early in life, often before birth, but all are arrested as oocytes later in the prophase (dictyate state) until ovulation after puberty.
- the female has a stock of oocytes which is drawn upon until the stock is exhausted.
- Meiosis in females is not completed until after fertilization, and results in only one ovum and two abortive polar bodies per germ cell.
- only some of the male germ cells enter meiosis from puberty and leave a stem population of germ cells throughout life. Once initiated, meiosis in the male cell proceeds without significant delay and produces 4 spermatozoa.
- MAS meiosis-activating substance
- MPS meiosis preventing substance
- novel, stable compounds with interesting pharmacological properties are provided.

- the compounds of the general formula I according to the invention can be synthesized analogously with the preparation of known compounds. Hence, synthesis of the compounds of formula I can follow the well established synthetic pathways described in the comprehensive sterol and steroid literature.

Coffrey): Elsevier Publishing Company, 1971 ; and especially Dictionary of Steroids (editors: R.A. Hill; D.N. Kirk; H.L.J. Makin and CM. Murphy): Chapman & Hall. The last one contains an extensive list of citations to the original papers covering the period up to 1990. All these books including the last mentioned citations are incorporated by reference.
- the compounds of the present invention are synthesized according to the following general procedures:
- sterols that are used as starting materials can be synthesized according to literature procedures:
- the ⁇ -1 double bond can be introduced in an oxidation reaction with phenyl selenic anhydride as an oxidant in chlorobenzene [J. Chem Soc. Chem. Commun. 1978, 952] to give 4,4-dimethyl-5 ⁇ -cholesta-1 ,8,14-trien-3-one 3.
- This reaction also works in the case of compounds without the 4,4-dimethyl group.
- the new double bond can be selectively introduced as a ⁇ 1 -double bond.
- the 3-keto group can then be reduced with sodium borohydride in the presence of cerium chloride [Luche reduction, for example: J. Am. Chem. Soc. 100 (1978), 2226] to give 4,4-dimethyl-5 ⁇ -cholesta-1 ,8,14-trien- 3 ⁇ -ol 4.
- scheme 2 :
- This amine can be used for further modification.
- Substituents in position 2 can for example be introduced via aldol reactions and alkylations. If ketone 2 is treated with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of a base 2-benzylidene-substituted steroids of formula 10 are obtained. The aromatic ring can be substituted. Subsequent reduction with sodium borohydride in the presence of cerium chloride gives selectively the corresponding allylic 3 ⁇ - alcohols 11.
- amine 12 is treated with hydroxysuccinimidyl ester derivatives of different carboxylic acids.
- esters that contain fluorescence markers can be used (see example 11 in the experimental part).
- Amides of formula 13 that contain the fluorescence markers can be used as molecular probes for bioimaging purposes.
- Alkyl- and alkenyl substituents can be introduced in position 2 via deprotonation of ketone 2 and subsequent reaction of the enolate with alkyl- and alkenyl halides.
- the 3-ketones of formula 14 can then be reduced with sodium borohydride to give two diastereomeric alcohols of formulae 15 and 16, which can be easily separated by column chromatography.
- hydroxymethylsubstituents in position 2 can for example be introduced via a condensation reaction of a deprotonated 3-ketone with alkylformiates to give enol 17. This can be reduced with different reducing agents like sodium borohydride to give two diastereomeric alcohols 18 and 19.

- Meiosis-inducing substances of the general formula I can be used in the treatment of certain cases of infertility in females, including women, by administration thereof to females who, due to an insufficient own production of meiosis-activating substance, are unable to produce mature oocytes.
- the compounds of the general formula I can also be used in artificial insemination procedures e.g. in in vitro fertilization or intracytoplasmic sperm injection.
- in vitro fertilization is performed, better results can be achieved, when a compound of the invention is added to the medium in which the oocytes are cultured.

- the compounds of the general formula I are useful as contraceptives in females and males, particularly in mammals, more particularly in humans.
- a meiosis inducing substance can be administered so as to prematurely induce resumption of meiosis in oocytes while they are still in the growing follicle, before the ovulatory peak of gonadotropins occurs.
- the resumption of the meiosis can, for example, be induced a week after the preceding menstruation has ceased.
- the resulting overmature oocytes are then most likely not to be fertilized. The normal menstrual cycle is not likely to be affected.
- contraception in females can also be achieved by administration of a compound of the invention which inhibits the meiosis, so that no mature oocytes are produced.
- contraception in males can be achieved by administration of a compound of the invention which inhibits the meiosis, so that no mature sperm cells are produced.

- the compounds of the invention When used as a contraceptive, the compounds of the invention will either have to be administered continuously or cyclically. When used as a contraceptive by females and not taken continuously, the timing of the administration relative to the ovulation will be important.
