Definitions

  • the present invention relates to use of nitric oxide releasing steroidal compounds having an improved pharmacological activity and low side effects in the treatment of respiratory diseases, and to a process for their preparation.
  • the present invention also relates to nitric oxide releasing steroidal compounds and to pharmaceutical formulations containing them.
  • Respiratory diseases comprise asthma, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases), ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome), allergic rhinitis, respiratory tract diseases associated with inflammation.
  • the most drugs used in the treatment of respiratory diseases are steroids.
  • the currently available steroids have unsatisfactory site selectivity, for example all inhaled steroids are absorbed systemically from the lungs, and thus cause serious adverse effects by long-term administration.
  • nitrooxy derivatives of steroids which are usable also as cardiovascular agents for the coronary insufficiency or angina pectoris therapy, are described.
  • German patent DE 2,222,491 describes the preparation of pregnane derivatives having in position 21 the —CH 2 —O—NO 2 group.
  • said derivatives have a cardiotropic activity. This activity represents a drawback for said compounds, since they modify the cardiac frequency.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 3,494,941 describes steroid derivatives from 3-hydroxyextrane or from extr-4 en-3 one, used as vasodilators in the treatment of cardiac affections such as coronary insufficiency and angina pectoris.
  • a ONO 2 group is at the free end of the alkylene chain which is linked by an ether bond to the steroid in position 17.
  • nitrate groups also in the positions 3 and 16 of the steroidal structure. The same drawbacks mentioned above as regards the effects on the cardiac frequency can be repeated for the compounds of this patent.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 3,183,252 describes derivatives of 16-nitrate-alkylpregnanes wherein the alkyl group is linked to the pregnane structure by a carbon-carbon bond.

  • the same drawbacks reported for the above prior art can be repeated.
  • WO 98/15568 and WO 03/064443 in the name of the Applicant describe nitrate esters of steroidal compounds, wherein between the steroidal structure and the nitrooxy group a bivalent linking group is inserted. Said compounds show a good efficacy and/or good tolerability with respect to the corresponding precursors.
  • Patent application WO 00/61604 in the name of the Applicant describes nitrooxy derivatives of steroidal compounds with various linking groups having at one end a nitrooxy group, and covalently linked with the other end to a steroidal compound.
  • the uses concern the compounds usable in the treatment of patients in oxidative stress.
  • Said compounds contain in the molecule also a bivalent linking group which must be capable to prevent the free radicals production and is selected on the basis of the tests reported therein.
