C07J 700
US Classification:
424243
Abstract:
1,3,5(10),6,8,14-19 Nor-pregnahexaene-20-ones exhibit anti-mitotic activity with minimal or no hormonal activity.

International Classification:
C07J 100
US Classification:
26023955R
Abstract:
Steroidal 6-azido-4,6-pregnadieno[3,2-c]pyrazoles having glucocorticoid activity are prepared by treating a 6-unsubstituted-4,6-pregnadieno[3,2-c]pyrazole with a halogen azide followed by treatment of the thereby formed 6-azido-7-halogeno-6,7-dihydro-4-pregnene[3,2-c]pyrazole with a dehydrohalogenating agent. Other methods of preparing these compounds are described, including the process of treating a 6-azido-17. alpha. ,20; 20,21-bismethylenedioxy-4,6-pregnadiene-3-one with an alkyl formate in the presence of base followed by treatment of the resulting 2-hydroxymethylene derivative with a hydrazine or, alternatively, by converting said 2-hydroxymethylene to a 2-alkoxymethylene derivative followed by treatment thereof with a hydrazine. Preferred compounds include 6-azido-11. beta. ,17. alpha. ,21-trihydroxy-20-keto-4,6-pregnadieno[3,2-c]pyr azoles, particularly 2'-phenyl-9. alpha.
