Benefits of technology

The present invention is about new compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, and methods for controlling processes that are influenced by steroid receptors. Specifically, the invention is about non-steroidal compounds that can act as agonists, partial agonists, or antagonists for the androgen receptor. The invention also includes methods for making and using these compounds, as well as a stereoselective synthetic route for preparing certain intermediates. The technical effects of this invention include the development of new compounds that can be used to treat conditions influenced by steroid receptors, as well as improved methods for their synthesis.

Problems solved by technology

The effectiveness of known modulators of steroid receptors is often tempered by their undesired side-effect profile, particularly during long-term administration.
Similarly, the progesterone antagonist, mifepristone (RU486), if administered for chronic indications, such as uterine fibroids, endometriosis and certain hormone-dependent cancers, could lead to homeostatic imbalances in a patient due to its inherent cross-reactivity as a GR antagonist.

1,2,3,6-Tetrahydro-1-methyl-9-(trifluoromethyl)-7H-[1,4]oxazino[3,2-g]quinolin-7-one (Compound 101, Structure 6 of Scheme I, where R1═H, R=trifluoromethyl, R6═H, Rx═H)

[0154] General Method 1: Cyclization of an α-chloroacetyl chloride to 2-amino-5-nitrophenol. To a solution of 2-amino-5-nitrophenol (1.0 equiv), NaHCO3 (2.4 equiv) in 4-methyl-2-pentanone (0.6 mL / mmol) and water (0.6 mL / mmol) was added an α-chloroacetyl chloride derivative (1.15equiv) via syringe pump over 45 min at 0° C. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and then refluxed overnight. The crude reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature, filtered and washed with water (3×1.2 mL / mmol) to afford the desired product as a tan solid.

[0155] 7-Nitro-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one (Structure 2 of Scheme I, where R6═H). This compound was prepared by General Method 1 from 2-amino-5-nitrophenol (6.0 g, 39 mmol), NaHCO3 (7.8 g, 93 mmol), and chloroacetyl chloride (3.58 mL, 45 mmol) to afford ...

[0164] General Method 6: N-Methylation of a pyridone (compounds of Structure 6) to form a compound of Structure 7. To an oven dried rb flask containing a pyridone of Structure 6 (1.0 equiv) in THF (5 mL / mmol) was added portionwise sodium hydride (60% dispersion in mineral oil, 1.2 equiv) under N2. After 30 min, iodomethane (1.2 equiv) was added and the mixture was allowed to stir under N2 an additional 8-10 hrs. The reaction mixture was then diluted with pH 7 phosphate buffer (50 mL / mmol), extracted with CH2Cl2 (3×30 mL) and washed with brine (50 mL / mmol). The organic solution was dried (MgSO4) and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification by flash chromatography (silica gel, 20:1, CH2Cl2:MeOH) afforded the desired product as a fluorescent-yellow solid.

Abstract

Compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, and methods for modulating processes mediated by steroid receptors. In particular, preparation and methods of use of non-steroidal compounds and compositions that are agonists, partial agonists, and antagonists for the androgen receptor (AR) are described. Further, described are the methods of making and use of critical intermediates including a stereoselective synthetic route to intermediates for the AR modulators.

Description

[0001] This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 10 / 238,363, filed Sep. 9, 2002, which is a divisional of U.S. application Ser. No. 09 / 648,684, filed Aug. 25, 2000, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,462,038, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60 / 160,988, filed Aug. 27, 1999. The entire disclosure of each of these applications is hereby incorporated by reference herein.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] This invention relates to non-steroidal compounds that are modulators (i.e. agonists and antagonists) of androgen receptors, and to methods for the making and use of such compounds. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Intracellular receptors (IRs) form a class of structurally-related genetic regulators scientists have named “ligand dependent transcription factors.” R. M. Evans, Science, 240:889 (1988). Steroid receptors are a recognized subset of the IRs, including the progesterone receptor (PR), androgen receptor (AR), estrogen receptor (ER), glucocor...
