Abstract
8 alpha -Oestratriol derivatives of the general formula I in which R1 is a hydrogen atom, an acyl, alkyl or cycloalkyl group, R2 is a hydrogen atom, and R3 is a hydrogen atom or an acyl group, are obtained by fermenting a corresponding 8 alpha -oestradiol derivative with a culture of a fungus of the genera Botryodiplodia, Curvularia, Helminthosporium, Neurospora, Pellicularia, Diplodia, Cladosporium or Rhizoctonia. Free hydroxyl groups in the resulting compounds of the formula I can subsequently be esterified. The 8 alpha -oestratriol derivatives of the general formula I which can be prepared according to the invention are pharmacologically active substances. They have, for example, a potent oestrogenic activity which exceeds the activity of the corresponding 6 alpha -hydroxyoestradiols. The compounds which can be prepared according to the invention usually display a favourable dissociation between peripheral and central actions.
Description
R^ represents a hydrogen atom, an acyl group, an unsubstituted or substituted alkyl group or a cycloalkyl group, and Rg and Rg each represents a hydrogen atom or an acyl group.
As acyl groups represented by Rp Rg and Rg there come into consideration those of acids capable of forming physiologically tolerable esters. Preferred acids are organic carboxylic acids and sulphonic acids containing 1 to 15, and especially 1 to 8, carbon atoms, which belong to the aliphatic, cycloalipatic, aromatic, aromatic-aliphatic or heterocyclic series. These acids may also be unsaturated and/or polybasic and/or substituted in the usual manner. As examples of substitutents there may be mentioned alkyl, hydroxyl, alkoxy, oxo and amino groups and halogen atoms.
- 2 By way of example there may be mentioned the following carboxylic acids, namely formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, isobutyric acid, valeric acid, isovaleric acid, caproic acid, oenanthic acid, caprylic acid, pelargonic acid, capric acid, undecanoic acid, lauric acid, tridecanoic acid, myristic acid, pentadecanoic acid, trimethyl acetic acid, diethylacetic acid, tert -butylacetic acid, cyclopentylacetic acid, cyclohexyl-acetic acid, cyclohexane carboxylic acid, phenylacetic acid, phenoxyacetic acid, mono-, di- ar.d tri10 chloracetic acids, aminoacetic acid, diethylaminoacetic acid, piperidinoacetic acid, morpholinoacetic acid, lactic acid, succinic acid, adipic acid, benzoic acid, nicotinic acid, isonicotinic acid and furan-2-carboxylic acid.
As sulphonic acids there come into consideration for example, methane sulphonic acid, ethane sulphonic acid, B-chlorethane sulphonic acid, isopropar,e sulphonic acid, butane sulphonic acid, cyclopentane sulphonic acid, cyclohexane sulphonic acid, benzene sulphonic acid, para-toluene sulphonic acid, para -chloro- benzene sulphonic acid, tl.N-dimethyl-amino
- sulphonic acid N,N - diethylamino-sulphonic acid, N,N-bis-(Bchlorethyl)-amino-sulphonic acid and pyrrolidino-, piperidino-, piperazino-, N-methylpiperazino- and morpholino-sulphonic acids.
As alkyl groups represented by there preferably come into consideration lower alkyl groups containing 1 to 5 carbon atoms, which may be branched and/or substituted in the usual manner. As examples of substituents there may be mentioned
- 3 halogen atoms and lower alkoxy groups. Especially preferred are methyl and ethyl groups.
As cyeloalkyl groups represented by R-j there are to be understood those containing 3 to 8 carbon atoms, of which the cyclopentyl group is preferred.
The present invention also provides a process for the manufacture
in which R1 and Rg have the meanings given above, is fermented ]0t with a fungoid culture of a strain selected from the genera
Botryodiplodia, Curvularia, Helminthosporium, Neurospora, Pellicularia, Diplodia, Cladosporium and Rhizoctonia, and, if desired in the resulting compound of the general formula I any free hydroxyl group in the 3-position is etherified
. or esterified and/or the hydroxyl group in the 6a-position is esterified and/or any free hydroxyl group in the 170-position is esterified.
The 6a-hydroxylation takes place with fungoid cultures of j 3 J j 1 strains of the genera Botryodiplodia, Curvularia, Helminthosporium, Neurospora, Pellicularia, Diplodia, Cladosporium and Rhizoctonia. Suitable strains are, for example,
· Botryodiplodia Malorum (CBS 13,450)
Curvularia Lunata (NRRL 2380),
Helminthosporium spec. (ATCC 20,154),
Neurospora crassa (ATCC 10,336)
Pellicularia filamentosa (ATCC 13,289)
- Diplodia natalensis (ATCC 9055),
Cladosporium spec. (ATCC 13,026) and Rhizoctonia solani (ATCC 13,250).
The fermentation may be carried out under the same conditions as those used in the known fermentative conversion of steroids ]5. with fungoid cultures.
Thus, there are first determined analytically, especially by thin -layer chromatography, in general usual preliminary tests the most favourable fermentation conditions, for example the choice of the most favourable nutrient medium, the suitable
. solvent for the substrate, the concentration of the substrate the technical conditions, for example temperature, aeration and pH-value, and the optimum times for germination, the addition
- 5 „513 &
of the substrate and the contact of the substrate with the enzyme of the micro organism.
Thus, it has been found that it is advantageous to use concentrations of about 50 to 1000 mg of substrate per litre of nutrient medium.
. The pH-value is preferably adjusted to a value within the range of from 5 to 7. The growth temperature is within the same range of from 20 to 40°C, and preferably 25 to 35°C. For aeration there is introduced about 1 litre of air per minute per litre of culture liquor. The conversion of the substrate is advantageously
. followed by thin-layer chromatographic analysis of test extracts.
In general, sufficient quantities of the hydroxylated steroid have been formed after 20 to 50 hours.
After the fermentation the products thereof are isolated in a manner known per se. The isolation may be carried out, for example, by
. extracting the fermentation mixture with a polar solvent insoluble in water, for example ethyl acetate, butyl acetate or methyl isobutyl ketone, concentrating the extracts and purifying the resulting crude products, if desired by chromatography and/or crystallization.
In the resulting compounds of the general formula I free hydroxyl
. groups may then be esterified and/or etherified, depending on the finally desired meanings of Rp R2 and Rg.
For esterification there come into consideration the methods customarily used in steroid chemistry. As the hydroxyl groups in 3-, 6- and 17-positions have different reactivities the hydroxyl
- 6 groups may be esterified in stages. Depending on the choice of the reaction conditions there are obtained the 3,6- di- or 3,6,17-tri-acyl compounds. Acylation in the 3- and 6- positions is carried out preferably with pyridine/acid anhydride or
. pyridine/acid halide at room temperature. For acylation of the 17B-hydroxyl group in 3,6-diacylates there are allowed to react With the steroid, for example, an acid anhydride in the presence of a strong acid, for example para-toluene sulphonic acid or perchloric acid, at room temperature or pyridine/acid anhydride
. with heat. These methods may also be used for converting the free tri hydroxy-compound directly into the triacylate.
Etherification with an unsubstituted or substituted alkyl or a cycloalkyl group in the 3-position is preferably carried out with a corresponding halide or sulphate in the presence of a weak base,
. for example potassium carbonate or sodium carbonate, in an alcoholic solution at the boiling temperature or with a (cyclo)-alkyl halide in the presence of a strong base, for example sodium hydride, at room temperature.
Compounds etherified in the 3-position may then be esterified in
. the 6-position with a carboxylic or sulphonic acid.
If the trihydroxy-compound is reacted with a sulphonic acid halide in the presence of a teritiary amine at room temperature the 3,6-disulphonic
- 7 acid ester is obtained. In the case of reaction with methane sulphonic acid chloride it is advantageous to protect the 17hydroxyl group, for example, by conversion into the 17-tetrahydropyranyl ether, because an unprotected hydroxyl group in the 175 position can easily be split off by the action of methane sulphonic acid chloride. Furthermore it is then favourable to operate at temperatures of about -10 to +15°C.
The new 6a-hydroxy-8a-oestradiols (including the functional derivatives thereof) of the general formula 1 are pharmacologically active substances. They have, for example, a strong oestrogenic activity, which is superior to the activity of the corresponding 6ct-hydroxy-oestradio1s. The compounds of the present invention have a favourable dissociation between peripheral and central action. Thus, for example, 17a-ethynyl-8a-oestra-l,3,5(lO)-triene-3,6a,17015 triol exhibits'in the Allen-Doisy test an oestrogenic action of the same magnitude as 17a-ethynyl-oestradiol and in the inhibition of ovulation (central inhibition) is only one third as strongly active as 17a-ethynyl-oestradiol. With respect to implantation inhibition, however, the new compounds are more active than 17a-ethynyl-oestradiol
Owing to their favourable properties the new 6a-hydroxy-8uoestradiois may be used for example, in the form of tablets or solutions for the treatment of women in the menopause. Furthermore the active substances of the present invention can be used in the form of vaginal salves for oestrogen deficiency phenomena, for example atrophic vaginitis. Such a vaginal salve is exemplified in Example 9 below.
- 8 Accordingly, the present invention further provides a pharmaceutical preparation which comprises a compound of the general formula I, in admixture or conjunction with a pharmaceutically suitable carrier.
. The preparation of the pharmaceutical preparations may be carried out in the usual manner fay converting the active substances with, for example, the carrier substances, diluents and taste correctives, customarily used in galenical pharmacy into the desired form of application, for example tablets, dragees, capsules, solutions and ]θ salves. The concentration of active substance in the pharmaceutical preparations so formulated depends on the form of application.
Thus, a tablet preferably contains 0.01 to 10 mg of active substance solutions for parenteral administration contain 0.1 to 20 mg of active substance per ml of solution, and vaginal salves contain
. approximately 0.5 to 20 mg of active substance per 100 ml of salve.
The dosage of the pharmaceutical preparations of the present invention may vary depending on the form of administration and the particular active compound chosen. Moreover, it may vary
. depending on the particular patient. In general the compounds of the present invention are administered at a concentration that is capable of giving effective results, without causing any disadvantageous or harmful side effects. Thus, they are administered, for example, at a dosage level within the range of approximately
, 0.02 mg to approximately 20 mg, although in some cases variations can be made, so that a dosage level exceeding 20 mg, for example up to
- 9 50 mg, is used. However, a dosage level within the range of from approximately 0.05 mg to approximately 10 mg is preferably used.
In view of their implantation inhibiting action the new oestrogenicallyactive compounds of the general formula I are suitable for the suppression 5 of female mammal fertility, especially human female fertility by oral administration at a daily dose within the range of from approximately 1 to 10 mg post coitum.
The present invention accordingly further provides a method of contraception, wherein there is administered in a contraceptive dose
. to a female mammal post coitum a compound of the general formula I; the compound is advantageously administered orally to a female of the human species in a daily dose within the range of from approximately 1 to 10 mg.
The new compounds of the present invention may also be used in
- combination with gestagens (that is gestagenically-active steroids) as contraceptives, especially for oral administration.
The present invention accordingly further provides a contraceptive preparation which comprises a compound of the general formula I in admixture or conjunction with a gestagen.
-θ· The present invention further provides a method of contraception, wherein there is administered in contraception doses to female mammal a compound of the general formula I and a gestagen. Advantageously
-10 there is administered orally to a female of the human species a daily dose of the compound of the general formula I within the range of from approximately 0.015 to 0.050 mg and a daily dose of the gestagen within the range of from approximately 0.05 to 0.50
. mg.
