Identification of dissociated non-steroidal glucocorticoid receptor agonists
2007
Abstract A new series of ligands for the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is described. SAR development was guided by docking 3 into the GR active site and optimizing an unsubstituted phenyl ring for key interactions found in the steroid A-ring binding pocket. To identify compounds with an improved side effect profile over marketed steroids the functional activity of compounds was evaluated in cell based assays for transactivation (aromatase) and transrepression (IL-6). Through this effort, 36 has been identified as a partial agonist with a dissociated profile in these cell based assays.
