L. Zhi et al., Switching androgen receptor antagonists to agonists by modifying C-ring substituents on piperidino[3,2-g]quinolinone, BIOORG MED, 9(7), 1999, pp. 1009-1012
New nonsteroidal human androgen receptor (hAR) agonists were developed from
an hAR antagonist pharmacophore, 2(1H)-piperidino[3,2-g]quinolinone. (+/-)
-trans-7,8-Diethyl-4-trifluoromethyl-2(1H)-piperidino[3,2-g]quinolinone was
synthesized and demonstrated potent hAR agonist activity (EC50 = 3 nM) in
the cell-based cotransfection assay and high binding affinity (K-i = 16 nM)
in the competitive receptor binding assay. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.
