Abstract

This invention provides a class of androgen receptor targeting agents (ARTA). The compounds are selective androgen receptor modulators (SARM) useful for, inter-alia, suppressing spermatogenesis, treating a subject having a hormone related condition, treating a subject suffering from prostate cancer, delaying the progression of prostate cancer, preventing the recurrence of prostate cancer, and treating the recurrence of prostate cancer.

Claims (56)

1. A method of binding an androgen receptor antagonist compound to an androgen receptor, comprising the step of contacting an androgen receptor compound of formula I:

wherein

X is a NH, or NR;

Z is NO 2 , CN, COOH, COR, or CONHR;

Y is CF 3 , F, I, Br, Cl, CN or Sn(R) 3 ;

R is alkyl, haloalkyl, aryl, phenyl, halogen, alkenyl or OH; and

Q is alkyl, halogen, 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 or SR;

and/or its isomer, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, or any combination thereof, in an amount effective to bind the androgen receptor compound to the androgen receptor.

2. A method of suppressing spermatogenesis in a subject comprising contacting an androgen receptor of the subject with an androgen receptor compound of formula I:

wherein

X is a NH, or NR;

Z is NO 2 , CN, COOH, COR, or CONHR;

Y is CF 3 , F, I, Br, Cl, CN or Sn(R) 3 ;

R is alkyl, haloalkyl, aryl, phenyl, halogen, alkenyl or OH; and

Q is alkyl, halogen, 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 or SR;

and/or its isomer, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, or any combination thereof, in an amount effective to suppress sperm production.

3. A method of hormone therapy comprising the step of contacting an androgen receptor of a subject with an androgen receptor compound of formula I:

wherein

X is a NH or NR;

Z is NO 2 , CN, COOH, COR, or CONHR;

Y is CF 3 , F, I, Br, Cl, CN or Sn(R) 3 ;

R is alkyl, haloalkyl, aryl, phenyl, halogen, alkenyl or OH; and

Q is alkyl, halogen, 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 or SR;

and/or its isomer, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, or any combination thereof, in an amount effective to effect a change in an androgen-dependent condition.

4. A method of treating a subject having a hormone related condition, comprising the step of administering to said subject an androgen receptor compound of formula I:

wherein

X is a NH, or NR;

Z is NO 2 , CN, COOH, COR, or CONHR;

Y is CF 3 , F, I, Br, Cl, CN or Sn(R) 3 ;

R is alkyl, haloalkyl, aryl, phenyl, halogen, alkenyl or OH; and

Q is alkyl, halogen, 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 or SR;

and/or its isomer, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, or any combination thereof, in an amount effective to effect a change in an androgen-dependent condition.

5. A method of treating a subject suffering from prostate cancer, comprising the step of administering to said subject an androgen receptor compound of formula I:

wherein

X is a NH, or NR;

Z is NO 2 , CN, COOH, COR, or CONHR;

Y is CF 3 , F, I, Br, Cl, CN or Sn(R) 3 ;

R is alkyl, haloalkyl, aryl, phenyl, halogen, alkenyl or OH; and

Q is alkyl, halogen, N(R) 2 , NHCOCH 3 , NHCOCF 3 , NUCOR, 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 or SR;

and/or its isomer, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, or any combination thereof, in an amount effective to treat prostate cancer in said subject.

6. A method of delaying the progression of prostate cancer in a subject suffering from prostate cancer, comprising the step of administering to said subject an androgen receptor compound of formula I:

wherein

X is a NH, or NR;

Z is NO 2 , CN, COOH, COR, or CONHR;

Y is CF 3 , F, I, Br, Cl, CN or Sn(R) 3 ;

R is alkyl, haloalkyl, aryl, phenyl, halogen, alkenyl or OH; and

Q is alkyl, halogen, 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 or SR;

and/or its isomer, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, or any combination thereof, in an amount effective to delay the progression of prostate cancer in said subject.

7. A method of treating the recurrence of prostate cancer in a subject suffering from prostate cancer, comprising the step of administering to said subject an androgen receptor compound of formula I:

wherein

X is a NH, or NR;

Z is NO 2 , CN, COOH, COR, or CONHR;

Y is CF 3 , F, I, Br, Cl, CN or Sn(R) 3 ;

R is alkyl, haloalkyl, aryl, phenyl, halogen, alkenyl or OH; and
