carriers. Lactose, maize starch, talc, ~tearic acid or it6
~alts can be u~ed, for example, as carrier~ for tablet6,
coated tablets, dragee~ and hacd gelatine cap~ule~.
Vegetable oil~, waxe~, fats or semi-solia and liquid
polyols are, for example, ~uitable carriers for soft
gelatine capsules; depending on the nature of the active
8ub6tance no carrier i8, however, generally required in
the ca~e of soft gelatine cap~ules. Water, polyol~,
~accharo~e, i~vert ~ugar and gluco6e are, for exam~le,
~uitable cacrier~ for ~he manufacture of solution~ and
~yrup6.
The pharmaceutical erepara~ions can, moreover, con~ain
pre6erving agen~ olubilizer6, ~tabilizing agen~s,
wetting agent~, emulsifying agents, 6weetening agent~
colouring agents, flavouring agent~, ~alts for varying the
osmotic pressure, buffer6, coating agents or antioxidant~.
They can also con~ain still other therapeutically valuable
substances.
As mentioned eaLlier, medicaments containing a steroid

are al~o an object of the pre6ent invention, furthermore
also a proce6~ for the manufacture of ~uch medicaments
which compri~es bringing one or more product6 in

Example 21
a~ A solution of 11.6 g of chole~terol and 3.5 g of
hydroxypivalic acid i~ R0 ml of toluene i8 ~reated with
1 g of p-toluenesulphonic acid and boiled for 4 hour~. The
reaction mixture is treated with water and extracted with
ether. The organic pha6e is dried and concentrated and the
re6idue i6 purified ove~ 6ilica gel ~ith petroleum ether/
ether $4:1). There are obtained 1.9 g of chole6t 5-en-3~-
-yl 3-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-propionate. ~.p. 174-176C.
b) To a ~olution of 1.9 ~ of the produ~t of a) in 60 ml
of methylene chloride are added dropwise fir~tly 1.1 ml of
triethylamine and then a 601ution of 1.42 g of ~-bromo-

and, after the addition sf watler, boiled under reflux for
1 hour. The aqueou~ phase i~ ~eparated and the organic
phase is wa~hea wi~h water, dried and concent~ated. The
residue i8 di~olved in ether and trea~ed with a ~olution
of 15 g of barium acetate in 30 ml of water. The mixture
is ~tirred for 20 hours, the resul~ing barium ~alt i~

concentrated and the residue i6 di~olved in a solution of
2 g of ~rimethyla~ine in 20 ml of toluene and 5 ml o~
acetonitrile and held at 80C. Ths ~olution is concen-
trated after 6 hours. The product, O-[r(RS)-2-rl-

temperature ~while ~Sirring. AfteL adding 10 g o~ ion
exchanyer (Ambellite MB-3) and tirring for 4 hours the
~olution i8 concentrated, azeotropically distilled with
toluene and then dried. The re~idue is chro~atoqraphed on
~ilica gel with CHC13-MeOH-H20 (60/35/5 by vol.).
