Abstract:

A compound of formula (I): ##STR1## wherein R is a hydrogen atom or a C(1) -C(4) alkyl group;

  • A is a single bond or a straight or branched C(1) -C(6) alkylene chain;
  • R(1) is a hydrogen atom or a C(1) -C(6) alkyl group;
  • R(2) is a C(1) -C(6) alkyl group, a C(5) -C(7) cycloalkyl or a C(6) -C(10) cycloalkylalkyl group, aryl or a C(7) -C(10) arylalkyl group, or a C(6) -C(10) heterocyclylalkyl group;
  • R(3) is hydrogen, a C(1) -C(4) alkyl group or an aryl or a C(7) -C(10) arylalkyl group;
  • Z is a C(1) -C(6) alkyl group, an –OR(5) group wherein R(5) is a C(1) -C(6) alkyl group, ##STR2## group wherein each of R(6) and R(7) is hydrogen, C(1) -C(6) alkyl, C(5) -C(7) cycloalkyl, phenyl or R(6) and R(7) taken together with the nitrogen to which they are linked form a pentatomic or hexatomic saturated heteromonocyclic ring; and the symbol represents a single or a double bond, is a testosterone 68 5.alpha.-reductase inhibitor and is therapeutically useful in benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostatic and breast cancers, seborrhoea, female hirsutism and male pattern baldness.
