Abstract

The present invention provides prodrugs of selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs), and their use in treating or reducing the incidence of osteoporosis, a variety of hormone-related conditions, conditions associated with Androgen Decline in Aging Male (ADAM); conditions associated with Androgen Decline in Female (ADIF), and muscular wasting conditions, obesity, dry eye conditions, and prostate cancer. The prodrugs are also useful in oral androgen replacement therapy and male contraception.

2. A method of contraception of a male subject, comprising contacting said male subject with the prodrug of claim 1 , in an amount effective to suppress sperm production in said male subject, thereby effecting contraception of a subject.

3. A method of treating a subject having a hormone-related condition, comprising contacting said subject the prodrug of claim 1 , in an amount effective to effect a change in a hormone-related condition.

4. A method of treating a subject suffering from a prostate cancer in a subject, comprising contacting said subject with the prodrug of claim 1 , in an amount effective to treat a prostate cancer in said subject.

5. A method of reducing an incidence of a recurrence of a prostate cancer in a subject, comprising contacting said subject with the prodrug of claim 1 , in an amount effective to reduce said incidence of a recurrence of a prostate cancer in said subject.

6. A method of treating a dry eye condition in a subject, comprising contacting said subject with the prodrug of claim 1 , in an amount effective to treat said dry eye condition in said subject.

7. A method of suppressing spermatogenesis in a subject, comprising contacting said subject with the prodrug of claim 1 , in an amount effective to suppress sperm production.

8. The prodrug of claim 1 , wherein said prodrug is represented by a structure of formula VIII-B:

wherein R 1 is one of the structures:

wherein

R 5 , R 6 , and R 9 are independently of each other a hydrogen, alkyl, F, I, Br, Cl, CF 3 , CN, C(R) 3 , Sn(R) 3 , N(R) 2 , NHCOCH 3 , NHCOCF 3 , NHCOR, NHCONHR, NHCOOR, OCONHR, CONHR, NHCSCH 3 , NHCSCF 3 , NHCSR NHSO 2 CH 3 , NHSO 2 R, OR, COR, OCOR, OSO 2 R, SO 2 R, SR, SCN, NCS, OCN, NCO,
