Abstract The present invention relates to novel steroids of the estrane series having the general formula I: ##SPC1## wherein R 1 and R 2 = an alkyl group having 1-4 carbon atoms, R 3 = oxygen or (αP)(βQ), wherein P = hydrogen or a saturated or an unsaturated alkyl group having 1-4 carbon atoms, and Q = a free, esterified or etherified hydroxyl group, and A double bond is present departing from carbon atom 5, and to the preparation thereof. The compounds according to the invention possess very valuable anabolic, androgenic, estrogenic, anti-estrogenic, progestative, anti-progestative, ovulation-inhibiting and gonad-inhibiting properties and are furthermore of value owing to their peripheral anti-fertility activity.
