Claims
- 1. A vitamin D compound of the formula ##STR51## in which Y means a hydrogen atom, an alkanoyl group of 1 to 9 carbon atoms, or an aroyl group, wherein each Y is chosen independently;
- Z means a hydrogen atom, a hydroxyl group or an alkanoyloxy group of 1 to 9 carbon atoms,
- X means a hydrogen atom or both X's together mean an exocyclic methylene group,
- R.sub.1 and R.sub.2, independent of one another, mean an alkyl group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms,
- R.sub.3 means a linear or branched alkyl group of 1 to 5 carbon atoms or a trifluoromethyl group, or the two R.sub.3 groups together with carbon atom 25 form a cyclopropyl or cyclopentyl ring,
- L means the grouping ##STR52## in which A represents an oxygen atom, and B represents an alkylene group --(CH.sub.2).sub.n --, in which n=1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6, or
- L means grouping ##STR53## in which D represents a direct bond, a methylene bridge or a 1,2-ethenediyl bridge (E-double bond) between carbon atoms 20 and 22,
- E and F respectively represent a hydrogen atom, or together a second bond (E-double bond), and
- G represents a direct bond or an alkylene group --(CH.sub.2).sub.n -, in which n=1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 or a corresponding alkylene group in which a methylene group is replaced by an oxygen atom with the proviso that when the two X's together mean a methylene group, at least one of R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 is not a methyl group.
- 2. A vitamin D compound according to claim 1, wherein Y are hydrogen atoms or alkanoyl radicals of saturated alkanecarboxylic acids or of the benzoyl radical and Z is a hydroxyl group or an alkanoyloxy radical of saturated alkanecarboxylic acids or of the benzoyloxy radical.
- 3. A vitamin D compound according to claim 1, wherein the methyl, ethyl or propyl group or a cyclopropyl or cyclopentyl ring formed together with the tertiary carbon atom 25 stands for R.sub.3.
- 4. A vitamin D compound according to claim 1, wherein both Y's each stand for a hydrogen atom, Z stands for a hydroxyl group and R.sup.3 each stand for a methyl, ethyl or propyl group.
- 5. A pharmaceutical preparation comprising a compound according to claim 1, and a pharmaceutically compatible vehicle.
- 6. The pharmaceutical preparation according to claim 5, wherein the vehicle is suitable for topical use.
- 7. A compound according to claim 1, wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are each an alkyl and both X each a hydrogen.
- 8. A vitamin D compound according to claim 1, wherein L is the grouping --CH.sub.2 --A--B--.
- 9. A vitamin D compound according to claim 1, wherein each X is a hydrogen atom and the 17 position side chain is one of the following: ##STR54##
- 10. A vitamin D compound according to claim 9, wherein Z is a hydroxy group.
