Definitions

  • the present invention relates to 20-fluoropregna-5,17(20)-diene-3/3,21-diol, 20-fluoro-pregna-5, 17(20)- dien-3 ⁇ -ol and related compounds, to processes for their preparation, and to compositions incorporating these compounds as well as the use of these compounds in the treatment of conditions which would be affected by inhibition of Ci7 ; 20 lyase and/or 5 ⁇ -reductase, including androgen and estrogen mediated or dependent disorders, such as, for example benign prostatic hyperplasia; dihydrotestosterone-mediated disorders such as, for example, acne; estrogen dependent breast cancer and androgen mediated prostatic cancer.
  • the present invention provides a novel series of compounds which also disable the operation of Ci ⁇ -hydroxylase; thus, disorders that are characterized by an oversynthesis of cortisol can also be treated by the compounds of the invention. For example, hypokalemia, metabolic alkalosis, polydipsia, polyurea, Cushing's syndrome and hypertensive conditions.
  • the enzyme steroid C 1 20 lyase cleaves the 17-20 carbon-carbon bond in steroids having a two carbon side chain at the 17 ⁇ -carbon position to form important precursor molecules for the formation of testosterone, 5 -dihydrotestosterone and the estrogens, principally estrone and estradiol.
  • Compounds which inhibit this enzyme would thus serve to inhibit the formation of the indicated precursors and thereby be useful in the treatment of various androgenic as well as estrogenic disorders.
  • a treatment incorporating such enzymatic inhibitors is not limited to the origin of the precursor molecule, such as various organ ablation techniques which are currently known. For example, while orchiectomy will effectively reduce gonadal androgen, it will have not have significant effect upon adrenal androgen production.
  • Prostatic cancer or neoplastic tissue disorders which originate in the parenchymal epithelium of the prostate, is one of the most common malignancies among men, and exhibits one of the highest cancer-specific deaths of all malignant carcinomas. It is known that patients with metastatic prostate cancer respond positively to hormonal therapy. It is reported by Cookson and Sarosdy that androgen ablation has had a positive, beneficial response for as high as 60% to 80% of all patients tested. [Cookson, CS. and Sarosdy, M.F., South Med. J. 1994, 87, 1-6].

  • C 17,20 lyase activity as well as other neoplastic tissue disorders such as endometrial, hepatocellular and adrenal carcinomas.
  • the enzyme steroid 5 ⁇ -reductase present in mammalian tissues including skin, male genitalia and the prostate, catalyzes the conversion of testosterone (17 ⁇ -hydroxyandrost-4-en-3-one) into dihydrotestosterone or DHT (17 ⁇ -hydroxy-5 ⁇ -androstan-3-one), which is also known as stanolone.
  • DHT is a more potent androgen than testosterone, and acts as an end-organ effector in certain tissues, particularly in mediating growth. DHT formation can occur in certain tissues themselves by the action of 5 ⁇ -reductase.
  • the conversion of testosterone to DHT itself can be associated with various androgenic disorders, especially when DHT levels build up to excessive amounts.
  • DHT DHT-associated disease 2019
  • acne vulgaris high levels of DHT in the skin has been associated in the pathogenesis of acne, including acne vulgaris.
  • androgen mediated or androgen dependent disorders such as acne, benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostatic cancer, including hormonal dependent carcinoma, the inhibition of DHT would be highly desirable.
  • the enzyme C ⁇ hydroxylase catalyzes the C ⁇ 7 hydroxylation of steroid substrates during the biosynthesis of cortisol.
  • C 1 ; 20 lyase and Cj 7 hydroxylase are the same active site of the same enzyme, the inhibition of one usually results in the inhibition of the other.
  • Cortisol excess results in a syndrome characterized by hypokalemia, metabolic alkalosis, polydipsia, polyuria, Cushing's syndrome and hypertensive conditions. Inhibition of cortisol synthesis via Cj 7 hydroxylase would, therefore, have a beneficial therapeutic effect for the treatment of these disorders or conditions.
