Tk. Jones et al., DISCOVERY OF NOVEL INTRACELLULAR RECEPTOR MODULATING DRUGS, Journal of steroid biochemistry and molecular biology, 56(1-6), 1996, pp. 61-66
Utilizing the co-transfection assay as a guide to determining structur
e activity relationships, we have been pursuing the discovery of non-s
teroidal hPR modulators. Small molecule, non-steroidal lead structures
have been identified. Optimization of these structures has yielded mo
re potent hPR modulators. Improved cross-reactivity profiles with othe
r intracellular receptors are a feature of these compounds owing to th
eir non-steroidal nature.
