- Abstract
A novel series of oxa-steroids 6 derived from (8S, 13S, 14R)-7-oxa-estra-4,9-diene-3,17-dione 1 have been synthesized and identified as potent and selective progesterone receptor antagonists. These novel oxa-steroids showed similar potency to mifepristone. Preliminary SAR study resulted in the most potent 17-phenylethynyl oxa-steroid 6i wih an IC(50) of 1.4nM. In contrast to the equipotent mifepristone toward the progesterone receptor (PR) and glucocorticoid receptor (GR), compound 6i had over 200-fold selectivity for PR over GR.
