Assessment of long-acting synthetic corticotrophin in hypersensitive asthmatics and normal subjects.

The synthetic polypeptide depot-tetracosactrin (Synacthen-Depot) was given to nine steroid-treated asthmatic patients hypersensitive to animal corticotrophin. Eight had a satisfactory increase in plasma and urinary 17-hydroxycorticosteroids (17-OHCS). The remaining patient had been shown previously to have adrenal suppression. None of the patients developed allergic reactions to depot-tetracosa...

LONG-ACTING CONTRACEPTIVE AGENTS: TESTOSTERONE ESTERS OF CYCLOALKYLCARBOXYLIC ACIDS

The synthesis of twenty five esters of testosterone (17β -hydroxyandrost- 4-en-3-one) is described. All esters are derivatives of cycloalkycarboxylic acids. Some of the esters possess α- , β -and/or & - substitution in the ester side-chain. The work was undertaken in order to evaluate long-acting male antifertility effect of such esters. Most of the compounds, especially compound No.1, wer...
