Abstract

A series of 5,5-dimethylthiohydantoin derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for Androgen Receptor pure antagonistic activities for the treatment of Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer. Since CH4933468, which we reported previously, had a problem with agonist metabolites, novel thiohydantoin derivatives were identified by applying two strategies. One was the replacement of the alkylsulfonamide moiety by a phenylsulfonamide to avoid the production of agonist metabolites. The other was the replacement of the phenyl ring with a pyridine ring to improve in vivo potency and reduce hERG affinity. Pharmacological assays indicated that CH5137291 (17b) was a potent AR pure antagonist which did not produce the agonist metabolite. Moreover, CH5137291 completely inhibited in vivo tumor growth of LNCaP-BC2, a Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer model.
