Direct gas chromatographic analysis of cyclic N-nitrosamines.

A rapid gas chromatographic technique has been developed for quantitative estimation of cyclic N-nitrosamines. Cumbersome clean-up procedures are unnecessary and quantitative estimation can be done by injecting hexane extract without further pretreatment. The detection limit for the procedures is ca. 0.5 ng.

Plasma cortisol in glaucoma.

Plasma cortisol level and intraocular tension were determined diurnally in 40 normal and 40 glaucomatous patients at 8 AM and 8 PM. It was observed that (1) plasma cortisol level was higher in glaucomatous patients at both the periods; (2) the diurnal variation in plasma cortisol was parallel to diurnal variation in intraocular tension in both glaucomatous and normal persons; and (3) the diurnal variation in plasma cortisol level also was more marked in glaucomatous patients as compared to normal persons.

Antifertility agents. 12. Structure-activity relationship of 3,4-diphenylchromenes and -chromans.

Synthesis and antiimplantation activity of variously substituted 2,2-dialkyl-3,4-diphenylchromenes and 3,4-cis- and trans-chromans derived from them are described. Pregnancy-inhibiting activity in rats was exhibited by a number of these compounds, which was particularly marked in the case of 3,4-trans-3-phenyl-4-p-(beta-pyrrolidinoethoxy)-phenyl-7-methoxychroman (32), the corresponding 2,2-dimethyl analog 34, and 3-phenyl-4-p-(beta-pyrrolidinoethoxy)phenyl-7-methoxychromene (26). The structure-activity relationship of these compounds is discussed.

Studies in antifertility agents. 11. Secosteroids. 5. Synthesis of 9,11-secoestradiol.

9,11-Secoestradiol (9) and 11-hydroxy-9,11-secoestradiol (12) have been synthesized starting from 17-acetoxyestradiol 3-methyl ether (1) and found to possess significant antifertility activity in rats. 3-Methoxy-9,11-seco-9-oxo-17beta-acetoxyestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-11-oic acid (2), prepared by CrO3 oxidation of 1, on hydrogenolysis gave methyl 17beta-hydroxy-3-methoxy-9,11-secoestra-1,3,5(10)-triene-11-carboxylate (3). The 17-O-THP derivative of 3 was treated with LiAlH4 to give 17beta-(O-tetrahydropyranyl)-3-methoxy-11-hydroxy-9,11-secoestra-1,3,5(10)-triene (5). The 11-O-mesylate of 5 on LiAlH4 reduction followed by mild acid treatment and demethylation under alkaline conditions gave 9. LiAlH4 reduction of 3 gave 9,11-seco-11-hydroxyestradiol 3-methyl ether (11) which on demethylation gave 9,11-seco-11-hydroxyestradiol (12).
