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 (41)

1. A method of promoting tissue formation or growth, or a combination thereof, in a subject comprising:

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

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 promoting tissue formation or growth, or a combination thereof, in the subject.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the tissue is muscle tissue.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the compound of formula I is R,R-4-(2-(1-Hydroxyl-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-pyrrolidinyl)-2-trifluoromethyl-benzonitrile, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the subject does not suffer an adverse androgenic effect.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein R 1 is CF 3 , R 2 is H and R 3 is H.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein R 1 is CF 3 , R 2 is H and R 3 is methyl.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein R 1 is CF 3 , R 2 is methyl and R 3 is hydrogen.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein R 1 is F or Cl, R 2 is H and R 3 is H.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein R 1 is F or Cl, R 2 is H and R 3 is methyl.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein R 1 is F or Cl, R 2 is methyl and R 3 is hydrogen.

11. The method of claim 4 , wherein the compound of formula I is selected from among:

R,R-4-(2-(1-Hydroxyl-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)pyrrolidinyl)-2-trifluoromethyl-benzonitrile;

4-(2(R)-(1(S)-hydroxyl-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)pyrrolidinyl)-2-trifluoromethyl-benzonitrile;

4-(2(R)-(1(S)-hydroxyl-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)pyrrolidinyl)-2-chlorobenzonitrile;

R,R,R-4-(2-(1-hydroxyl-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-5-methylpyrrolidinyl)-2-chlorobenzonitrile;

4-(2(R)-(1(S)-hydroxyl-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-5(R)-methylpyrrolidinyl)-2-chlorobenzonitrile;

R,R-4-(2-(1-hydroxyl-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)pyrrolidinyl)-2-chloro-3-methylbenzonitrile;

4-(2(R)-(1(S)-hydroxyl-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-pyrrolidinyl)-2-chloro-3-methylbenzonitrile;

3-methyl-4-((R)-2-((R)-2,2,2-trifluoro-1-hydroxyethyl)pyrrolidin-1-yl)-2-(trifluoromethyl)-benzonitrile;

3-methyl-4-((R)-2-((S)-2,2,2-trifluoro-1-hydroxyethyl)pyrrolidin-1-yl)-2-(trifluoromethyl)-benzonitrile;

3-methyl-4-((2R,5R)-2-methyl-5-((S)-2,2,2-trifluoro-1-hydroxyethyl)-pyrrolidin-1-yl)-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile;

2-fluoro-4-((2R,5R)-2-methyl-5-((S)-2,2,2-trifluoro-1-hydroxyethyl)-pyrrolidin-1-yl)-benzonitrile;

2-fluoro-3-methyl-4-((2R,5R)-2-methyl-5-((S)-2,2,2-trifluoro-1-hydroxyethyl)-pyrrolidin-1-yl)benzonitrile;

2-fluoro-3-methyl-4-((R)-2-((S)-2,2,2-trifluoro-1-hydroxyethyl)pyrrolidin-1-yl)-benzonitrile;

2-fluoro-4-((R)-2-((S)-2,2,2-trifluoro-1-hydroxyethyl)pyrrolidin-1-yl)benzonitrile;

2-chloro-4-((2R,5R)-2-methyl-5-((S)-2,2,2-trifluoro-1-hydroxyethyl)-pyrrolidin-1-yl)-benzonitrile;

2-chloro-3-methyl-4-((2R,5R)-2-methyl-5-((S)-2,2,2-trifluoro-1-hydroxyethyl)-pyrrolidin-1-yl)benzonitrile;

2-chloro-3-methyl-4-((R)-2-((S)-2,2,2-trifluoro-1-hydroxyethyl)pyrrolidin-1-yl)-benzonitrile; and

2-chloro-4-((R)-2-((S)-2,2,2-trifluoro-1-hydroxyethyl)pyrrolidin-1-yl)-benzonitrile;

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound of formula I is R,R-4-(2-(1-Hydroxyl-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-pyrrolidinyl)-2-trifluoromethyl-benzonitrile, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject does not suffer an adverse androgenic effect.
