Abstract

Disclosed are compounds of formula (A) ##STR1## wherein X, R₁ and Y are as defined by the specification. The compounds are useful as antiandrogenic agents.

Claims

1. A compound of formula (A):

##STR16## wherein;

the carbon-carbon bond at the 1-2 position is single;

X is an oxygen or a sulfur atom;

R₁ is a hydrogen atom or a straight or branched C₁ -C₄ alkyl residue;

Y is the residue of an amino acid of formula ##STR17## wherein T is the group CH₂ OH;

Q represents the branching of α

natural at amino acid of the (L) series or of the (D) series selected from the group consisting of glutamic acid, histidine, aspartic acid, leucine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, valine, asparagine and isoleucine.

2. A compound of formula (A) ##STR18## wherein:

the carbon-carbon bond at the 1-2 position is single;

X is an oxygen or a sulfur atom;

R₁ is a hydrogen atom or a straight or branched C₁ -C₄ alkyl residue;

Y is the group --NH--M, wherein M is a member selected from the group consisting of α

-methylbenzyl, α

-ethylbenzyl, and α

-propylbenzyl.

3. A compound of formula (A):

##STR19## wherein;

--X═

O, R₁ =CH₃, Y=D(+)-α

-methylbenzylamine, and the carbon atom at the α

-position to the amine function is asymmetric.
