Dihydrofuran-2-one and dihydropyrrol-2-one derivatives were identified as novel, potent and selective mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonists by the structure-based drug design approach utilizing the crystal structure of MR/compound complex. Introduction of lipophilic substituents directed toward the unfilled spaces of the MR and identification of a new scaffold, dihydropyrrol-2-one ring, led to potent in vitro activity. Among the synthesized compounds, dihydropyrrol-2-one 11i showed an excellent in vitro activity (MR binding IC50 = 43 nM) and high selectivity over closely related steroid receptors such as the androgen receptor (AR), progesterone receptor (PR) and glucocorticoid receptor (GR) (>200-fold for AR and PR, 100-fold for GR).
