, (2008/06/13)
Pregnane series steroids are disclosed having good anti-inflammatory and anti-rheumatoid arthritic activity with a decreased degree of side effects, e.g., weight loss and sodium retention. The compounds have the formula STR1 where X is a keto- or β-hydroxyl group or chlorine, Y is fluorine or chlorine, Z is hydrogen, α-hydroxyl, α-methyl or β-methyl, R' is hydrogen or a 2 to 8 carbon acyl group and R is hydrogen, a 2 to 8 carbon acyl group from mono- or di-carboxylic organic acids, a metasulfobenzoic acid residue or phosphoric acid residue. When R' is hydrogen, and Z is α-hydroxyl the corresponding 16α, 17α-acetonides and 16α-acyl derivatives with organic carboxylic acids having from 2 to 8 carbon atoms were prepared.
