Abstract:
Utilizing the co-transfection assay as a guide to determining structure activity relationships, we have been pursuing the discovery of non-steroidal hPR modulators. Small molecule, non-steroidal lead structures have been identified. Optimization of these structures has yielded more potent hPR modulators. Improved cross-reactivity profiles with other intracellular receptors are a feature of these compounds owing to their non-steroidal nature.
