Synthesis and biological evaluation of 11′ imidazolyl antiprogestins and mesoprogestins
摘要:
Antiprogestins with a 4 ' para imidazolylphenyl moiety were synthesized and their biochemical interactions with the progesterone and glucocorticoid receptor were investigated. Depending on the substitution pattern at the 17 position partial progesterone receptor (PR)-agonistic derivatives like compounds EC339 and E036 or pure antagonists like compound EC317 were obtained. EC317 was investigated in vivo and found to be significantly more potent than RU 486 in cycling and pregnant guinea pigs. For testing the biological action progesterone receptor modulators (PRM), guinea pigs appears as a specific model when compare to pregnant human uterus. This model correlates to human conditions such as softening and widening of the cervix, the elevation of the uterine responsiveness to prostaglandins and oxytocin, and finally to induction of labor. The use of non-pregnant guinea pigs permitted the simultaneous assessment of PR-agonistic and PR-antagonistic properties and their physiological interactions with uterine and vaginal environment. These can histologically be presumed from the presence of estrogen or progesterone dominance in the genital tract tissues. The ovarian histology indicated the effects on ovulation. Corpora lutea in guinea pigs further reflects inhibitory effects of the progesterone-dependent uterine prostaglandin secretion. PRMs are initially synthesized as analogues of RU 486. They represent a heterogeneous group of compounds with different ratios of PR-agonistic and-antagonistic properties. PR-agonistic properties may be essential for uterine anti-proliferative effects. In various clinical studies these were also attributed to RU 486 or Ulipristal [1,2]. Adjusted PR-agonistic PRMs (EC312, EC313) [3] may be more effective in achieving a mitotically resting endometrium and superior uterine tumor inhibition. For the use in termination of pregnancy, progesterone-inhibitory effects are essentially needed. Even minor PR-agonistic properties compromise the therapeutic goals. Pure PR-antagonists, as EC317, clearly exceeded the gold standard RU 486 with respect to labor inducing effects. Mechanistically it is surprising that both types of compound may be potent inhibitors of ovulation. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
New progesterone receptor antagonists: Phosphorus-containing 11β-aryl-substituted steroids
摘要:
A new series of phosphorus-containing 11 beta-aryl-substituted steroids have been synthesized in an eight-step sequence involving a palladium-catalyzed coupling reaction to introduce a phosphorus group onto the aromatic ring. The compounds were evaluated for progesterone receptor (PR) antagonist activity in a T47D cell-based assay and for glucocorticoid receptor (GR) antagonist activity in an A549 cell-based assay. The structure-activity relationships of these compounds are discussed. Selected compounds were tested in vivo in a rat complement C3 assay. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
