SrCu{sub 2}O{sub 3} and Sr{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 5} containing two-leg and three-leg S=1/2 ladders made of antiferromagnetic Cu-O-Cu linear bonds, respectively, were synthesized at high pressure, and their crystallographic and magnetic properties were investigated. Both susceptibility and T{sub 1} data of NMR revealed the existence of a large spin gap only for SrCu{sub 2}O{sub 3}. Superconductivity, which had been predicted theoretically for carrier-doped SrCu{sub 2}O{sub 3} could not be realized although partial substitution of La{sup 3+} for Sr{sup 2+} seemed to be carried out successfully. Electron carriers injected seems to remain localized.
