Abstract

Certain 3-oxoandrost-4-ene and 3-oxoandrosta-1,4-diene 17 beta-thiocarboxylic acid esters substituted at the 6 alpha, 6 beta-positions with fluorine substituents are useful as anti-inflammatory steroids. These compounds are optionally substituted at the 9 alpha position with fluoro, chloro or bromo; substituted at the 11 with a keto-, a beta-hydroxy or a beta-chloro (the latter only when there is a 9 alpha-chloro); substituted at 16 alpha, 17 alpha-positions with isopropylidenedioxy; and substituted at 16 alpha (or 16 beta) with methyl or hydrogen when there is a 17 alpha-hydroxy (or an ester).
