Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1998050419
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
4-Aza-steroid compounds are provided, which have functional groups at one or more of positions 7, 11 and 15, such as hydroxyl or hydroxyl derivative groups. The compounds are active against 5-alpha-reductase giving indications of utility in combating prostate cancer. The compounds can be prepared by chemo-enzymatic synthesis from easily available 4-aza-steroids.
