Abstract

Provided herein are compounds, such as compounds of Formula I, that bind to androgen receptors and/or modulate activity of androgen receptors. Also provided are methods for making and using such compounds. Also provided are compositions including such compounds and methods for making and using such compositions.

Claims (48)

1. A method of treating a subject having a disease, disorder or condition caused by androgen deficiency, comprising:

administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula I;

wherein:

R 1 is CF 3 , F or Cl;

R 2 is H or methyl; and

R 3 is H or methyl, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof, thereby treating the disease, disorder or condition selected from the group consisting of cachexia, osteoporosis, anemia, Alzheimer's disease, depression, obesity, type 2 diabetes, muscular atrophy, hypgonadism, frailty, male sexual dysfunction and female sexual disfunction.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the disease, disorder or condition is cancer cachexia.

3. A method of claim 1 , wherein:

the compound of formula I is selected from among:

the compound wherein R 1 is CF 3 , R 2 is H and R 3 is H;

the compound wherein R 1 is CF 3 , R 2 is H and R 3 is methyl;

the compound wherein R 1 is CF 3 , R 2 is methyl and R 3 is hydrogen;

the compound wherein R 1 is F, R 2 is H and R 3 is H;

the compound wherein R 1 is F, R 2 is H and R 3 is methyl;

the compound wherein R 1 is F, R 2 is methyl and R 3 is hydrogen;

the compound wherein R 1 is Cl, R 2 is H and R 3 is H;

the compound wherein R 1 is Cl, R 2 is H and R 3 is methyl; and

the compound wherein R 1 is Cl, R 2 is methyl and R 3 is hydrogen.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein R 1 is CF 3 .

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein R 2 is H.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein R 3 is H.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound of formula I is selected from among:
