The preparation and topical antiinflammatory potencies of a series of 9 alpha, 11 beta-dichloro-16-methyl corticosteroid 17-heteroaryl carboxylates are described. The 17-acyl group was introduced to the 9 alpha, 11 beta-dichloro 21-acetate by direct acylation with the appropriate heteroaryl carbonyl chloride in the presence of 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine. Alternatively, the 21-functionalized 17-hydroxy delta 9(11) compound was acylated at 17, followed by C-ring chlorination. The most extensively studied heterocyclic acyl functionality was the 2-furoyl, but the 3-furoyl, and 2- and 3-thenoyl derivatives were also investigated. Antiinflammatory potencies were measured in mice by a 5-day modification of the Tonelli croton oil ear assay. The most potent topical antiinflammatory compounds were 17-heteroaryl esters in the 16 alpha-methyl series where the 21-substituent was chloro or fluoro. Thus 2p [21-chloro 17-(2'-furoate)] was 8 times as potent as betamethasone valerate, while 2s [21-fluoro 17-(2'-furoate)], 2r [21-chloro 17-(2'-theonate)], and 2v [6 alpha-fluoro 21-chloro 17-(2'-furoate)] were 3 times as potent as betamethasone valerate.
