Abstract
A novel class of gonane type and D-homo-gonane type steroids having sulfatase-inhibiting and/or estrogenic activity is presented for application in the pharmaceutical industry. The number and location of sulfamoyloxy groups on the steroids provides for sulfatase inhibiting and estrogenic activities that independently vary over a wide range, allowing the customization of the pharmaceutical for specific purposes, including treatment and diagnosis of estrogen-dependent tumors.
