A3
Abstract:
The present invention relates to analogs of estradiol, which, in their most preferred embodiment, act as locally active estrogens without significant systemic action. A series of 16 alpha -carboxylic acid substituted steroids sand their esters is presented which exhibit excellent biological activity for use in pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of symptomology associated with menopause. The present invention is therefore directed to compounds according to the structure: I Where R is H, a C1 to C5 alkyl, vinyl, CF3, CH2CH2F, CH2CHF2 or CH2CF3; and m is from 0-2, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Preferably, R is methyl, ethyl, propyl, iso-propyl, butyl, iso-butyl, pentyl, neo-pentyl, vinyl, CF3, CH2CH2F, CH2CHF2 or CH2CF <3? and m is 0. More preferbly, R is methyl, ethyl, CH>2222< or CH>22< and m is 0.
