A library of 35 cis-1-benzoyl-2-methyl-4-(phenylamino)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines was prepared. The compounds bore various substitutuents on the benzoyl ring, at the 4-position of the phenylamino ring and at the 6-position of the tetrahydroquinoline ring. The compounds were assayed for their ability to cause expression of a reporter gene downstream of an ecdysone response element in a mammalian cell line engineered to express the ecdysone receptor from Aedes aegypti. In general, compounds with small lipophilic substituents at the meta and para-positions of the benzoyl ring and hydrogen or fluorine at the 4-position of the phenylamino ring and the 6-position of the tetrahydroquino line ring were the most potent.
