6-Methylenandrosta-1,4-diene-3,17-dione (FCE 24304): a new irreversible aromatase inhibitor.

FCE 24304 (6-methylenandrosta-1,4-diene-3,17-dione), a new irreversible aromatase inhibitor, has been identified and characterized in vitro and in vivo. The compound caused time-dependent inactivation of human placental aromatase with a t1/2 of 13.9 min and ki of 26 nM. When tested in PMSG-treated rats, ovarian aromatase activity was reduced 24 h after dosing by both the s.c. (ED50 1.8 mg/kg) and the oral (ED50 3.7 mg/kg) routes. No interference with 5 alpha-reductase activity nor any significant binding affinity for estrogen receptor was found. Slight binding affinity for the androgen receptor (RBA 0.2% of DHT) was observed.

Cephalosporins. VII. Synthesis and antibacterial activity of new cephalosporins bearing a 2-imino-3-hydroxythiazoline (2-aminothiazole N-oxide) in the C-7 acylamino side chain.

Introduction of a hydroxyl group into the thiazole ring nitrogen of cephalosporins belonging to the cefotiam and cefotaxime families gave rise to products, better described by the tautomeric N-oxide form, which proved particularly active against Gram-negative bacteria. Cephems bearing a (Z)-alkoxyimino functionality are of special interest for broadness of spectrum; among them, 7 beta-[(Z)-2-(2-amino-4-thiazolyl-N-oxide)-2 -methoxyiminoacetamido]-3-(tetrazolo-[1,5-b] pyridazin-6-yl)thiomethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (5c-7, FCE 20635), in other ways similar to cefotaxime, showed useful levels of activity against cephalosporinase-producing strains resistant to the reference drug. Preliminary in vivo studies demonstrated the therapeutic efficacy of the new compound in the treatment of experimental systemic, subcutaneous and urinary tract infections in mice.

Cephalosporins. III. Synthesis and structure-activity relationships of 7-vinylenethioacetamid:o cephalosporins with a tetrazolo-pyridazine at the 3-position.

The synthesis and in vitro activity of 7-vinylenethioacetamido cephalosporins with a tetrazolo-pyridazine at the 3-position are described. These cephalosporins showed good activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. 7-[(Z)-beta-carboxyvinylenethio-acetamido]-3-[(tetrazolo[1,5-b]pyridazin-8- amino-6-yl)-thiomethyl]-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (K 13176, 21) was significantly more active in vitro and in vivo than cefazolin against Gram-negative bacteria.
